Okay, so I did a lot of searching for an environmental blog that I would find interesting. The blog I found that actually caught my attention due to the pictures in the blog and the information and links it has is EcoGeek because of the variety of info it has in its blogs. The writers actually vary. There are blogs written by people such as Benjamin Jones, and Megan Treacy. Although the blog was not extremely eye-catching in my opinion what actually caught my attention was the picture and info on the first blog. There was a car called the Mini-E that is actually looking for drivers to participate in a study of how well the car runs. Now they are looking for drivers in California, NEW YORK and New Jersey!!! I would so love to do that, unfortunately there are a lot of requirements that I don't have like a license. Darn! It also cost $850 a month. Odd, but there are plenty of cars out there that are cheaper as far as monthly payments go, but if I had the money I would still love to test this electric car. This site has many articles concerning a variety of things. They have info on Dell's new "green" computers and some of them are not too badly priced, to info on Walmart and a variety of others.
I'm not sure if I would consider this site a blog or not because it's multiple writers writing a more collective blog. So maybe it could be considered a website with a lot of information. The site also provides links to where they found the information. I actually feel that having a variety of writers for this blog is helpful because everyone is different so this enables for a larger variety of information that would perhaps not be present without this. The articles which I loved the most were "Dell Continues to Wrack Up Green Points" and "Walmart to Use Wind Power in Texas Stores" and the "Mini-E Makes World Premier at Auto Show". The reason I put the names of these particular articles was because the main link, when you click on it, show different articles so it will be easier for you to find these articles if you have the name.
I'm not sure of the total amount of hits this site has received, but a few of those articles had hits of around 300 or more! The links take you to other sites that have information they have used and, some sites, advice and tips on how to stay eco-friendly. The Mini-E article was the first to catch my attention. Man!! I want to drive it! It looks so cute!! I actually found an article on this site that discusses what I wrote in one of my blogs about incentives for green businesses and it also had links!! Check out the site and the Mini-E!!

Neat. find pics of the car if you can--we need some eye candy in your entry.
I think anything that is going to help the environment is pretty cool. Starting by computers and car is a great start because everyone uses both or one. I like your picture.
$850 a month to test drive a car? That's pretty expensive. I think that's a big reason why people haven't gone greener (besides being unable to break old habits) is the $$$$. While, it's important to save the planet, people are still trying to survive themselves.
I would love to be part of the study...I do not drive myself....su ch a shame and I am 30 years old. But I promise that when full efficiency cars become avaialble in the U.S. for people like us 9poor citizens), I get one just to decorate my parking space!!!lol
Nice blo. I liked your website especially the wilting flowers that tells how much energy is being consumed. When alot is being used the flowers bent and when none is being used then the flowers stands tall. Thats really cool. Bu tagain really expensive $90!!!!
Hey so I always like things pertaining to cars. I didn't even know that theyre making the mini as an electric car. Thanks. I dont like the fact that it costs $850 a month but if they gave me an incentive to buy it like maybe the car for free for a year then maybe i would have the money for a down payment.
I was home ( california) for thanksgiving and i must say that i kept seeing energy saving cars- seems like ppl have really gone-green- a lot more than in NYC BUT still there are many ppl who still just dontttt get , how do we get ppl to really be on the same page on this issue? you know? it's a battle right now between the wasteful ( the majority) and the eco-mindful ppl ( the minority).
electrical cars are cool but i think it is twisted that you have to pay to test out a car. like the company really benefits from this cause there making money off the test trials but money does make the world go round.
Wow I like the racing car ! It's a good site .
