Green Homes And Electric Cars

Touring Chris Paine's New Green Home

By Jeff Siegel
Friday, June 12th, 2009

Last Saturday, I had the opportunity to visit Chris Paine's new green home. As I mentioned last week, Chris directed the movie, "Who Killed The Electric Car."

I have to say, the place was amazing. Solar, low VOC paint, an organic garden. It was a beautiful home, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to take a tour. Though my favorite part of the evening was getting a lift to the house via an electric Toyota Rav4. Not so much because I just love electric cars, but because my good friends, Lillian and Carlos Batts, got their first experience in an electric vehicle.

I tell ya, no matter how many times I share this stuff with friends, the response is always the same - "Why aren't these things everywhere?"

While I have my suspicions, I'll leave that one "open for discussion."

In the meantime, if you're looking for some new coverage on electric vehicles, check out Felix Kramer's most recent submission on electric vehicle conversions. From the Prius to the Hummer, these conversions are really starting to pick up some momentum!

You can read the full article here.

I also recently came across a top 10 list for organic fast-food restaurants. Sadly, I've only been to four on that list. But check it out here. You might find something you like.

Have a great weekend!
