If your success is not on your own terms, if it looks good to the world but does not feel good in your heart, it is not success at all.

[...] are happy to prioritise thirsty SUVs over hungry mouths. As Paul has written about, in relation to airlines and biodiversity loss, biofuels are not a viable answer to oil shortages anyway, so to fasttrack [...]

If we learn to cut travel a half mile at a time, or search for items closer to home before we hit the road, we might not pass up a mom and pop store on the way to a big box store across town. That’s how adbirds is supposed to work, once the site is propagated with ads. Your free ad today will make that happen. Backward links through eBay or Craig’s or other sites will help too.

I agree, we need to learn to travel less. Unfortunately we live such fragmented lives, and people live in different parts of the world from their families and friends, that I don’t think it will stop any time soon. I think it’ll have to be a generational thing – that we’ll have to learn to appreciated being rooted again, staying in our communities. It might happen, but for decades we’ve aspired to being footloose, and we need to start undoing that.

I like the light aircraft diesel engines.

For the Air Force, then airlines, I worked on heavy jets for 29 years and designed a better mousetrap for shoppers to pay back for my carbon footprint. If this works, my new web site may help shoppers save hundreds of millions of gallons of fuel, – which is a good thing. – ADBIRDS’s Founder

We start with FREE basic ads for everyone, even businesses.

Anyone listing items for sale on AdBirds.com IS GREEN. Here’s how:

GREEN SEARCH : Would you help others save fuel by shopping smartly?

Shortest – distance search returns for all items listed allow this on adbirds.com

All you do is register and post your items for sale. Save and click to pay, enter the coupon code RP08 at checkout.

The site saves personal or retail brand items free, and shoppers can tell the site where they are starting from. AdBirds.com then calculates the distance to the item and cost of fuel that day in that zip code, and displays cost of fuel with distance to the item or store. We are planning socially responsible search too.

Thank you for taking time to check out the MIS Green website and survey! Please tell others about the survey and hopefully the combination of efforts will make a change… I’ll keep track of your website now that I know about it!

This is one of the reasons the company MIS Green was started!

Green is great for the environment to a limit [and our health ultimately], businesses will make some money based on their involvement in the BTB and BTC chain, but why should the consumer have to sacrifice when it’s our money driving these upstream processes?

The truth is green & sustainable solutions must be consumer-centric to have longevity. But we must be realistic and pragmatic and realize those solutions will not meet every green/sustainable principle. At the doorstep of each solution proposition, the question has to be asked “Which green and sustainable principle is most valuable for us to meet for the environment, business, and consumer?” If more principles can be met along the way, then great!

Check out the MIS Green website to learn more, and if you have more time, please, participate in our Alternative Fuels Consumer Survey. http://www.misgreen.com

There are levels at which we can cut down. Transport isn’t even the largest pollutant when it comes to greenhouse gasses, its cows. The problem is, we are looking for a replacement for oil, rather than a new way of living our lives. One of the reasons people live so far away from each other is because transport has made that possible. If the way in which transport is done changed, people wouldn’t travel as far, and therefore live as far from “home”. Unfortunately this problem isn’t something that can happen overnight so its something we have to try and set up for the future. Your friends and relatives live great distances away because we (and oil) made transport easy. If that changes, that problem might no longer exist.(before the oil boom, people didn’t live/travel abroad nearly as much)

Biofuels are a good thing, they just can’t be used at the same level that oil is. They can be an alternative to some aspects of the fossil fuel industry, but not all (that would be unsustainable).

As for the present, the simplest mode of transport has to be public. Too often 100 people in individual cars drive to the same location 1 train is going to. In this case the train is a more sustainable option (however probably more expensive). Unfortunately we live in a society that demands everything as fast as possible, and we tend to treat traveling the same way. On an international scale, we’d rather have a 2 hour flight than a 9 hour ferry or car ride (despite the flight being the more pollutant than both put together). Even at the local scale, most people would rather queue half an hour in their car to work than cycle taking a little longer. We need to plan our traveling more carefully, being willing to take the more sustainable option, rather than the faster one. We should be willing to make the 9 hour car/ferry rather than the 2 hour flight.

(i realise that most means of transport are pollutant and unsustainable, however its more a case of choosing the ones that aren’t so bad)
