I want to know, have you ever seen the rain....

Jason and I have been hanging out in San Pedro la Laguna for 3 weeks or more now – and we are both absolutely in love with this town! So, I apologize if I haven’t had much to say recently, but when you are stationary (and not traveling), it’s hard to write about just our . . . → Read More: I want to know, have you ever seen the rain….

Beach on one side, Mountains on the other

Yesterday we finally got to get out of the city for a bit and explore the beautiful mountainside. Now, THIS is why we are here! Just a short 45 min drive up a extremely bumpy dirt road, while riding in the bed of a pickup truck, you begin to see tropical forests and an incredible . . . → Read More: Beach on one side, Mountains on the other

Oh yeah, manana, manana….

I’ve always thought that the Spanish word for “tomorrow” was manana. Turns out there’s a second definition: mañana Spanish [maˈɲana (English) məˈnjɑːnə]n & adva. tomorrowb. some other and later time Apparently, the Hondurans typically mean the 2nd definition because every project that we try to have them get done is always going to get done “manana”, and that was days ago. . . . → Read More: Oh yeah, manana, manana….

Let the good times begin

This is the tale of two gringo’s who leave the comforts of our safe haven in Boulder, CO to start a new adventure in a third world country after meeting some stranger on the internet.

Another rainy day in La Ceiba!

Here’s the thing about rainy days in La Ceiba; everything pretty much shuts down. It’s really amazing. Nobody works. Nothing is open. You can’t do anything. This wouldn’t be so unsettling if it weren’t for the fact that we are in a climate that experiences a shit-ton of rain! . . . → Read More: Another rainy day in La Ceiba!

Seriously – you DON’T RECYCLE? What’s your problem!!

Keep it up. This could be your backyard one day.

I was just home visiting my entire family in the small town of Delta, PA. If you know where that is, then we are probably related - so please drop me a line. It has a population of less than 1,000 people. (I . . . → Read More: Seriously – you DON’T RECYCLE? What’s your problem!!

Real Christmas Tree or Fake Christmas Tree - that is the question

What the heck is so “green” about cutting down a tree just to decorate for a couple weeks? Back off scrooge – I do my part and I feel good about what I do. But to be honest – I dont’ feel bad about sacrificing the poor tree for the good of the holiday spirit. (read above – Do you see how HAPPY this makes me? Totally worth it in my book) . . . → Read More: Real Christmas Tree or Fake Christmas Tree – that is the question

Xcel Energy Solar Rebate – Dropping QUICKLY

What do you mean we can get energy from that burning thing in the sky?

If I can do it, so can you.

I might be a little biased here, but I have to start my “green blogs” talking about solar power in Colorado. I have been working in the Renewable Energy (RE) industry for the past couple years, and I am very proud to say that I recently . . . → Read More: What do you mean we can get energy from that burning thing in the sky?

Since marketing in the renewable energy industry for the past couple years, I have acquired an interest in the wealth of information out there regarding how to be "green". I have a strong interest in the amount of energy that we use as humans - whether at home, at work or anywhere we go during our lives. I'm amazed at how simple it can be to live a life where we produce less trash and consume less energy - yet so many of us don't want to make the effort. And we're paying for it now - and will be for years to come.

It's a big GREEN Earth out there - unless we keep doing what we are doing. Then it will be a big trash pile. I don't plan on changing the world and saving babies lives or anything - I'm just trying to share some stories about what is happening in this big world that you maybe didn't realize, and hopefully share some tips on how YOU can save babies (or maybe a tree at least.)
