The following post is written by one of my lovely and talented writers at Re-Vision Labs, Martina Welke. Look for more of these posts in the coming months, as we aggressively build our Environment Lab to help environmental organizations to do their work better, faster, and more effectively.

Imagine: 70% of families in a suburban community don’t own cars, and the percentage keeps going up. A whopping 57% sold their cars when they moved to the suburbs. The suburbs! And even better, according to the New York Times, it’s becoming a trend. It’s even called “smart planning.” Indeed. The only two […]
Did you know that spam accounts for one-third of all business and personal messages? Yowza. I believe it. I just added a spam counter to the right sidebar here, and look how many spam I’ve had to go through! Boy they are just awful, too. Personally polluting, time polluting, and environmentally polluting. …
Apparently sheep and cow belching accounts for more global warming gases than cars. I had no idea!
It’s the things we are most tied to that seem to be the worst for the environment. Cars, computers, cellphones…
Well some good things are coming out of this economic downturn. This week was the annual Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Cell phone companies have been hit pretty hard in the current economy, so it seems they’ve been working on lots of green and low-cost innovations to entice us…
Hello everyone, I hope you’re having a lovely weekend. Matt and I had a fabulous Valentine’s Day evening at a local restaurant. Truly one of the best dinners we have ever had! I’m still reeling. I have quite a lot of work to do today, to get ready for our official Re-Vision Labs launch on March 2nd. So I am going to leave you with a link to 100 Must Read Blogs By Women. Come check it out - we’re #88!
My heart goes out to those in Australia who are suffering or are fearful for their lives and homes. Twenty-five fires rage in southern Victoria, where many people have died thus far. Many more have lost homes and farms. It is suspected the fires were started by arsonists, and have been fanned by great winds […]
One Green Generation is a place without politics, a place to convene across the political landscape - because we must do so. The world won’t survive and thrive if we don’t come together.
At the same time I must speak my truth here, and so I will tell you that today is a special day in my heart. Today much of the world celebrates with hope. Today barriers were officially removed. Today a new voice enters the world when the world needs change so badly. Today brings tears to my eyes as I see people, young and old, excited, invigorated, and truly hopeful…. Whatever political ideology you have within you, I hope that we can all come together to do the work we need to do. Re-energize! It’s time to get serious about making our world a safe and sustainable place for every generation… Come Join Our Conversation!
This was too sweet not to share. Matt found this on Slog. According to National Geographic, each elephant in Germany will have a treat of 5 recycled Christmas trees to munch on – apparently it helps with their digestion!

Monday December 1st was World AIDS Day. I meant to write something about it, because we often forget about this disease and it is so important in our lifetime. One in eight people in South Africa have HIV/AIDS. 1 in 8. But this article is not about raising our awareness so much as it is about finding solutions. Please check out a film I spent a year editing, as I think we can use it as a way to think about solutions not just for HIV/AIDS, but for many of the world’s issues…
