Alexander’s Green Tip of the Week – 4-24-09

Welcome to the second edition of “Alexander’s Green Tip of the Week” – last week, Alexander discussed the benefits of natural light. This week, he focuses on driving habits. It warmed my heart to hear him say “greenhouse gas emissions.” We recorded the video earlier this week after discussing tailpipe emissions. I also blog about hybrid cars (for another site) and so he hears me discuss them option.

I do have to point out that yes, that is a crossover vehicle that he’s standing in front of. It is a 2005 model and keeping that and reducing our driving has a smaller carbon footprint than buying a whole new vehicle. However, when it comes time to replace the ole crossover, we will definitely be looking at a plug-in hybrid (as they will be available on a large volume basis by the time we are ready to buy a new vehicle).

I hope you enjoy this week’s addition and as Alexander says, “Join me next week.”

That’s a very cute, and smart idea to have Alex present green tips. After all, kids would rather hear something from another kid :-)

Unfortunately Firefox is causing me problems today so I couldn’t really watch :-(
