Parking Your Car – What Is the Environmental Impact?

By Tiffany 6 Comments

When we think about cars on the road and their environmental and economic impact we typically think of certain hot button topics. We might think of fuel economy or alternative methods of powering our vehicles. We might think of the impact of factories and cars globally and locally. We might think about pollution from manufacturing and from consumption (driving). We might think about the life cycle of the vehicles we purchase or whether to buy new or used.

I have not really written on this subject much because I don't have pets anymore. I had dogs for most of my life and loved it but after I had children and my dogs got older and eventually died I owned up to the fact that I was not a great pet owner anymore.

TGIF! Have an awesome weekend everyone! More on BPA - I have discussed it several times on this blog already but something interesting happened yesterday. Dozens of state and national environmental health organizations in the U.S. and Canada have called for an immediate moratorium on the use of BPA in baby bottles and food and beverage containers. The report they released called "Baby's Toxic Bottle" discusses how something designed as a synthetic sex hormone has ended up in polycarbonate … [Read more...]
