low-stress ideas for living a deeper shade of green
Maybe I’m just a fickle gal, but it seems that I fall in love with the last car I test drive. The Chevy Volt is my 4th week-long review ride, and as of now, it is at the top of my real-world, eco-ride list. Sandy totaled two of our cars (with one tree!), and my [...]
Our technology fairy didn’t fall asleep this week, but she was a little late to the party! We missed the first 10 minutes of the show, which was mostly witty BS. The show starts in the middle of our initial conversation about the Chevy Volt I’ve been test-driving and reviewing this week. We had some [...]
Fueled by earl grey tea (but don’t worry – NO TEA NEAR THE BOARD!), we had a very busy, very green diva show this week. Somehow, between having our wonderful Green Diva Jamie back in the studio, and Green Diva Gina sitting on mic, GD correspondent Nomi’s awesome report, guest Green Dude Seth Leitman’s report from [...]
We had WAY too much fun in the studio last week. Eco Ed Schwartz joined us to be our resident Green Dude, and even though Green Diva Jamie and silent Jessie were not in the studio, we managed to have so much fun that we forgot to record the first 20 minutes of the show! ahhhhhhhh [...]

Don’t be under any delusion that Green Divas get paid much cash, but when this little cutie rolled up in front of Green Divas HQ (aka my house), there was some compensation in the thrill of being a Green Diva. THIS is a serious test drive.
On the heels of the big annual North American International Auto Show in Detroit, It’s fun to think about the possibility of getting a new car. The Detroit auto show and my participation in it were timely this year, because I am in fact looking for a new car as mine was trashed by a large oak tree during Sandy.
I fell in love at least a dozen times in Detroit earlier this week . . . no silly, not with all the handsome foreign men in suits wandering around Detroit’s North American International Auto Show! I love cars. It is a genetic thing. I blame my father (and so would my mother).

In Part 1, John explains what a compliance car is, which boils down to car manufacturers doing the very bare minimum in order to comply with California emission rules
