The most pleasant red light ever...


Normally, I sit at red lights behind a giant Hummer or ridiculously large SUV (with one person in it), and feel discouraged and frustrated. Sometimes it seems like very single little bit of progress I'm making by driving on waste veggie oil is being immediately undone by the car in front of me. That was not the case a few days ago when I found myself sitting at a red light behind an electric car (Nissan Leaf) for the first time I can ever remember in Nashville. It was inspiring. I wouldn't mind red lights so much if they all involved this view.

Green Sightings in Franklin



I've spent the last two days working as a wardrobe stylist on a national commercial for Sylvan Learning. One of the set locations today was in downtown Franklin, TN. While my brain was slow broiling in the 105 degree heat, I did manage to notice a few inspiring details that made my eco-friendly heart flutter. First, a big truck that collects waste veggie oil and uses it as fuel drove by while we were filming. The second was a solar-powered trash compactor & recycling bin on a busy street corner. So clever.
