#OWS is still a disorganized situation so I thought that if they had one driving point that tied all the causes together then it might help. This is it: Reform election laws that will put a cap on campaign expenditures. Make a cap amount that can be funded through campaign money from anywhere, including a grant or loan for people with no income, so that candidates may only spend just enough money that allows them to

 It has been a half of a year since the Deepwater Horizon Oil Rig exploded, killing and injuring workers. Now, Halliburton has been brought into the aftermath of events. An investigation panel stated Thursday (10/28/10) that Halliburton may have responsibility in the explosion by knowingly supplying unstable cement which was meant to seal the well. Halliburton has deflected responsibility by saying that British Petroleum failed to…

I spent yesterday at the St. Pete Coliseum for the green exposition. It featured vendors from all walks of the sustainability spectrum and while I spent four hours there, I did not get around to all the booths. So, I will have to tell you about the four main stalls that I took the time to speak with the operators. These stalls, coincidentally, touch on the main aspects of my blog: green business, green living, human sustainability, and green…

I have to say, it’s felt pretty bad to not post on the weekly date I usually post on, but I’m still here to bring my opinion to cyberspace. This week’s article is about the financial debacle in Greece which may soon be faced by the rest of Europe.

The European Union and the International Monetary Fund recently (within the last two weeks) approved a financial rescue package for Greece. The following day, the markets took a tumble, seen by…

This week I am bringing a close to my three part blog on environment, business, and community. This post is meant to shed some light on the role that tolerance plays in communities within the entire world. We are all diverse in our race and culture, but all share a part in the human race. The following excerpts are taken from two very different stories.

The first story is about the violent death of a white supremacist leader in South Africa…

In the second part of the series on the topics of environmental recognition, business world responsibility, and community resiliency, we are looking at business world responsibility to strike a balance between making profits to ensure success and maintaining safe operating standards for all who are involved.

On Tuesday of last week(4/20/10), the BP…

My girlfriend recently sent me an invitation for “One Day Without Shoes”, which was sponsored by Tom’s Shoes. The event took place on Thursday, April 8th, 2010. I have pasted their announcement below:



“One Day Without Shoes is the day we spread awareness about the impact a simple pair of shoes can have on a child’s life. On April 8th, we ask people to go the day, part of the day or even just a few minutes, barefoot, to experience…
