Project Green Summit
The event held in Richardson went as planned with TUE, GM and Half Price Books executives sharing stories about their efforts to lower their carbon footprint. There was an all electric Ford Ranger converted by a local company hoping to sell kits and conversions outside for viewing. The conversion work was clean enough but the prospect of having to drive 30mph to get 40 miles on a charge leaves room for improvement. The Ranger still has A/C and power steering in the design. The company is still refining the conversion process to increase mileage. We will have the podcast of Ed Begley’s conversation with the audience. A straight talker who says what’s on his mind while not going extreme in any areas.
Ed Begley, Jr., Keynote Speaker
Ed Begley, Jr., known for pioneering green living will deliver the keynote address and cover his 30 year eco-journey. He will outline making positive environmental changes to make a big impact on individuals, communities and the world. Presenting “bottom line” benefits and providing the economic motivation to move forward with green efforts, Begley will explore the challenges we face and how they can be overcome. He will also share first hand knowledge of his favorite green products.

I agree with you 99% but wonder if you have really looked at the whole picture. DOn’t mean to be critical just food for thought.

You have a decent blog here. I would encourage you to keep writing and posting as often as you are inspired to do so. In the long run, it will really pay off as more and more people will begin to visit, read and refer others.
