Will the Real Biofuel Please Stand Up


Carectomy.com has a post up on the efficiencies of walking and cycling and driving. Interesting data. You can buy stickers there to taunt your neighbors on the efficiency of their H2s.

Ecogeek has analysis:
A little bit of research tells us that riding a light-weight bicycle consumes about 35 calories per mile. Walking consumes about 100 calories per mile and is, of course, considerably slower.

Driving a car ends up consuming 1,800 calories per mile. This sure makes one think twice about biofuel, doesn't it?

Park the car, take a walk.

Family Fitness

Cool post.
I’m here to help you make the time you most definitely need to stay fit and help your children understand the value of exercise as an integral part of our daily lives.

Excuse #1: you don’t have time because you are driving your child from one practice facility to another…..the good news is that you actually do have the time mom and dad! There are many venues for adults to work out during the day or night, between or even during your child’s practices. You can walk, jog, lift weights, play squash, raquet ball, tennis, yoga, pilates, martial arts, swim, aquasize, and many many more options.
