LG on AP

Haven stopped by Friday to get my reaction to the mileage tax proposal.  My responses seem pretty slow because I was formulating my response on the spot.  The one quote they didn’t include (which I thought was best) was how the current tax structure focuses solely on the gas tank, and the proposed mileage tax on the road, but what we really need is to consider the car holistically—for its many impacts—from contact patch to antenna, from tank to tailpipe, from passenger to surroundings. 

Note Carolyn is called “Mech Lady” in comments!

LG ecofabulous

Thanks to Caitlin and the rest of the ecofabulous staff for vetting the growing panoply of “green” products and services (and unfabulous bullshit occasionally lurking underneath). Going green does not require buying things, even if they have organic materials or are low VOC.  That said, for those in the market, it is great to see a high class information source with sincere aims.  LG is honored to be included.

Read the post: “The Epitome of ‘Green Collar’” (via ecofabulous.com)

“We literally thought we’d died and gone to eco-heaven when we stumbled upon this gem. Thank you Luscious Garage for making the dirty work of car maintenance, well… not so dirty after all.”

LG mentioned in the Wall Street Journal

I’ve always been a NYT type myself, but the Journal was a nice milestone at the end of an exciting 2008.

“To be sure, demand for plug-ins has dropped along with gasoline prices in recent months, says Carolyn Coquillette, owner of Luscious Garage in San Francisco, another shop that does conversions.”
