Goal For The Green

Everyday we hear it-gas went up again while we slept. For most of us, our wages don’t increase and our wallets don’t get fatter to accommodate the financial strain.

Can’t afford a hybrid? Maybe you love your vehicle,but you don’t get good gas mileage. What if I told you there was a way to change all of this nonsense and fight back.  You don’t have to put up with high gas prices anymore. You can double, and in some cases even triple your gas mileage. Wouldn’t you love to fight global warming while you drive and do it safely?  You can convert your car to a water hybrid easily,safely, and economically.

This clean burning fuel will add only water and oxygen into the atmosphere instead of harmful pollutants. It will remove carbon deposits and build-up from your engine, allowing it to run at a cooler temperature.  Due to the effect that water has on the combustion cycle inside your engine, you will notice a calmer, quieter and much smoother engine performance. Another benefit is no more smelly gas fumes.  Still another big benefit to making this change, is that you increase your engines life expectancy. The improved running performance will save you from the costly repairs of valves,pistons, rings and bearings later on. Find out more about how you can run your car on water here:

In today’s world of doom and gloom, there is now a new condition called eco-anxiety, that requires therapy for some. The condition causes fear, depression, and despair about the condition of our environment. Perhaps in some ways it is too late to make a difference. But to me, there is not any reason to give up trying to make changes. Every little bit helps. Here are two different perspectives on this topic that I found to be great reading. Hope you enjoy. Working toward a better tomorrow.

The calendar says it’s Spring , but Winter is still hanging on here in Washington State.  On April 11th, we had one day of eighty degrees. The next day, it was barely above fifty and more rain. We’ve even had Spring snow, twice this month. No, not just a dusting, but inches. Most nights still drop down into the 30’s, and most days have been lucky to see 50 degrees.

Yes it’s true we have always been criticized for our weather here, but it’s usually pretty mild and comfortable. I haven’t seen too many people breaking out their shorts and sandals yet, not here. We haven’t put away our winter clothes yet, or gotten our gardens planted for the most part. It will be no doubt be a short growing season.  The recent snow we had has potentially damaged our apple, cherry, pear, and asparagus crops that are grown in Eastern Washington.  This Winter has brought record snow to our mountains. Two of our ski resorts are still open and it’s almost May. That’s always great news for the skiers, but if we get what we call the Pineapple Express, (warm air  current from Hawaii) like we did in December, we will see more record flooding. 

It is rare that our weather here makes national news. Most recently, it was our snow that made headlines. In December, it was the worst flooding Washington has seen in the last 100 years.  Most areas had 3-5 inches of snow on the ground. The Pineapple Express came through and dumped seventeen inches of rain non-stop in less than twenty-four hours. There are some areas in our state that are still recovering, and locally just last month several road repairs were completed.

It’s not just our weather that is strange though. Over the weekend the Pasadena area had temperatures of 100 degrees and the first wildfire of the season. A couple of months earlier than usual. Today, there were terrible twisters in Virginia. It seems there are few states that haven’t experienced a natural disaster or weather phenomenon, in the last five years. Perhaps Mother Nature is sending us a wake-up call to take better care of our planet. Let’s hope there is still time to change our ways and turn back time. We should have paid more attention thirty years ago to warnings of what could happen. Now our planet is in crisis and Mother Nature is fighting back.
