EASY BEING GREEN?

KERMIT THE FROG - THE MUPPETSOver thirty years ago Kermit the Frog sang about how it was not easy "Being Green".   His creator Jim Henson was giving a helpful message to the young fans of the wildly successful Muppet Show about finding their own place in the world.   I'm sure Henson also thought of the environmental meaning behind the songs title.  TESLA ROADSTER

These days the phrase has a whole different meaning.   We all struggle with the concept of being Green or Green-er every day, through the products we purchase and energy choices we make.    One car company that has achieved a totally Green vehicle with zero emissions via electric power cells is TESLA.  The California based motor company is definitely one to watch.   This Sillicon Valley start up company was able to get a car from concept to street ready in an amazingly short time frame of five years.   Founded in 2003, Telsa had cars on the street by 2008.   In the three years since the company has sold more than 1,500 cars in over 30 countries. RYAN REYNOLDS AS THE GREEN LANTERN  Incredible when you take into account the cars currently have a six figure price tag.  (experts say prices will decrease once output increases).  To find out more about Tesla, click the links above. 

Green is not just for sports cars and frogs.   This summer, Ryan Reynolds stars in the big screen and big budget movie version of THE GREEN LANTERN.  This Warner Bros. film is slated to be one of the big blockbuster movies of Summer.  Watch the trailer by clicking GREEN LANTERN.  To see The Green Lantern in comic form - click ITUNES.

WHAT EVER YOUR TASTE - THE STYLE IS GREEN!

Green is definitely the movement of the moment.   Everywhere you look, companies are jumping on the 'GO Green" bandwagon.  What was once seen an a sacrifice is now becoming a "trend" in marketing.  While some companies have come around to greener ways of manufacturing with less than benevolent intentions - who cares?  We can all agree - any effort to Reduce, Re-use, Recycle is a worthy cause.    Even the smallest changes you make in your own life will help the environment and also raise the next generation to think about these issues in a way that is beneficial to our planet.

KERMIT THE FROG

By the way, why isn't Kermit the frog all over this movement?  Could there be a better celebrity endorsement for Green causes than Kermit?  Oh, maybe Oscar the Grouch!  Now that I think of it, Oscar lived in a garbage can, so obviously he was into recycling.   Maybe there could be a Sesame Street / Muppets tie-in!  I'm going to get on that!
