Debbie loves GE’s Ecomagination program – I learned of GE’s ambitious foray into green initiatives at the GreenLiving Expo luncheon hosted on Wednesday, October 21 by Greater Wilmington Business and Cape Fear Green Building Alliance. Katharine Brass, Executive Director of Ecomagination, was the keynote speaker and did an excellent job of detailing why GE is investing billions into green initiatives. GE developed the Ecomagination project in 2005 to help meet customers’ demand for cleaner and more energy-efficient products and to drive growth and profits for GE. Ecomagination is a green initiative that is truly green. Meaning that it both saves resources and makes money. What’s not to love?
Nathan loves his non gas guzzling vehicle – Sure, it’s a KIA, which isn’t exactly an upgrade from my most recent vehicle, but there’s just something satisfying about being able to drive an entire week without having to get gas. Perhaps the biggest loss for me is that the KIA doesn’t even really have horsepower. Horsepower doesn’t even seem like a comparable scale for it. I’d say it’s should be gaged with something a little less powerful, like badgers. But that can be good, too. I am probably a lot less reckless while driving now. You just have to drive differently when you don’t have a strong set of horses pulling your wheels. Never the less, I am loving my KIA.
Susan loves Glee – This little gem of a show is truly brilliant. From the witty, snarky writing to the kick-butt music selections to the in-your-face stereotypes, I can’t get enough of Glee. And the marketing genius behind the show certainly knows what he/she is doing. The Glee kids will have two albums coming out featuring the songs from the show, they’re going on tour, and they are even going to sing the National Anthem at the World Series. Take that, NBC, for not letting these cool kids in your Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. They’ll continue to rock the rest of the world long after your balloons deflate.
