Quick Green Reads For The Weekend Volume Sixty Nine.

Last week, I (no, not me, the author!) had the opportunity of test driving a vehicle that, in a variety of driving scenarios, uses considerably less gasoline than conventional cars. When booting around the city, it almost uses no gas at all. Instead, it relies mostly on electricity from the grid. Just plug into a wall socket overnight and you’re ready to go in the morning. Interested? You should be – it could be the kind of car sitting in your driveway 10 years, even five years, from now.

According to the latest research, species around the world are going extinct faster that previously thought, at a rate not seen since the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Is a green lifestyle just the new survivalism? Could be, but I am hoping it doesn’t come to that and people start getting their acts together before it gets there!

Have a great weekend everyone!
