Imagine that you’re an entrepreneur . . . spent much time and capital developing a product that does some good—in this case, saving customers energy and MONEY—and then getting a nasty-gram from the government saying, well, you owe the utility all the money that you had saved your consumers. Believe it or not, this happened [...]

Editor’s Note:  Occasionally, GreenGoPost will take you on a global tour of other cities’ transportation systems.  We’ll start in Seoul, South Korea.  We believe one of the best ways to get familiar with a city, and learn a little about everyday life, is to get off of the tour bus and to take mass transit.

GreenGoPost will be in Ottawa for the coming week.  Yes, that’s Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.  Many of us south of the border tend to refer to Canada as a whole, but that would be like saying, “Oh, I’m going to the US,” and therefore lumping Hawaii, Maine, Texas, and the Dakotas together.  You’ve got the oil [...]

Right now the Armenian-American community, and much of the Armenian diaspora in general, is up in arms over the new protocols in the works between the Armenian and Turkish governments.  The history between the Armenians and Turks is a tortured one.  My grandmother is an Armenian genocide survivor, and this is a chapter of history [...]

Halloween holds a special place in my heart—my birthday is close to the holiday, so growing up, my mother often had very creative ideas for my Halloween-themed birthday parties . . . I remember one birthday party where we made individual caramel apples, using licorice, of course, for those 70s moustaches.  Years later, in my [...]

I abhor receipts.  For years I’ve always had an oversized wallet, which looks impressive until you realize it’s full of receipts, not cash.  I try to be diligent about purging them.  Sometimes I take them out, stuff them in an envelope, which gets lost in my desk . . . and of course, the one [...]

Activism.  Activist.  They are words that many people love to shout out.  To me, they often give me the creeps.   How many times have you heard someone say, “I don’t eat THIS” or “I don’t buy THAT” or “I don’t do ALLOFTHEABOVE.”   My response is:  it’s always easier to NOT do something.  It [...]
