Earth Day with The Lorax
The Lorax was one of my favorite top three books as a child, and I suspect played a large role in my interest in the environment as an adult. With Earth Day on my mind, I searched YouTube for The Lorax not expecting to find anything (someone keeps the Internet fairly scoured clean of [...]

Move to Solar Web Hosting
I’m excited to announce that I’ve moved the business website for Danenberg Consulting LLC to 100% solar powered web hosting! I’ve also become a reseller and joined their affiliate program. I’m a huge fan of solar power, by the way.
As a reseller, I interface directly with my clients to handle their support needs. [...]

The Lost Ladybug Project
When I learned about endangered species and extinction in elementary school, lessons focused on fairly exotic extinct creatures like the Dodo bird and the Tasmanian Tiger. We talked about the once-common Passenger Pigeon, or how the American Bison was nearly hunted to extinction.
Like many kids, I was a dinosaur fanatic. I pored through my [...]

It’s the end of the Catskills as we know it
Obviously, sung to the tune written by R.E.M., but on to serious matters…
Last Thursday, Sarah Palin campaigning in Wisconsin used the phrase "clean, green natural gas" in her speech. I catapulted into virtual convulsions upon hearing this! From the transcript:

Riiiiiiiight…. What’s a Socktopus?
Here’s a little something awesome I found featured on Inhabitat.com, a blog that focuses on sustainable design and architecture. You can order a plush mollusk called a Socktopus that is made from recycled sweaters and is "lovingly filled with hypoallergenic polyester". I think it’s brilliant because the recycled result is convincingly a new product, whereas [...]
“High”-perion
This weekend, I learned that the tallest tree in the world is a coast redwood named Hyperion. He stands a towering 379.1 feet (115.55 meters) tall! The location in a remote region of Redwood National Park is kept secret out of fear tourists would damage the forest’s ecosystem. And what kind of [...]
CFL’s: It’s Easy Being Somewhat Greener
I’ve been giving Compact Fluorescent Lamps a try since early this year. They use far less wattage than incandescent bulbs, prompting Australia and Canada to begin phasing out incandescent bulbs to reduce energy consumption. A 14 Watt CFL outputs the same light as a 60 Watt incandescent bulb, and lasts up to 10 [...]
Carfree Cities
Here’s a fascinating site about urban planning for cities without cars:
Carfree Cities
These designs rely on circular districts interconnected by metro rail. Each district is walkable within five minutes and is totally free of cars. The resulting layout alleviates the congestion, pollution, and danger of modern urban environments that have become overrun by private [...]
