About

Are you kidding me, I am Queens Boulevard. This is my Rushmore. I want to be part of the green revolution. Global warming is the biggest challenge our generation and the planet as a whole faces. I want to look my grandchildren in the eye and tell them I was part of the solution. This is why we started MakeMeSustainable.

David's Sustainable Notes

Today:: Have been using reusable napkins all weekend. No paper towel.

Everyday:: I carry a non-leaching reusable sigg water bottle, a travel mug and refuse to drink bottled water. My bike is my principle means of transportation. I bring my own bag to the grocery store. I only eat ice cream from a cone, never a cup.

Tomorrow:: Solar panels, zero carbon house, no waste, the end of Dunkin Donuts styrofoam cups. Open an ice cream store where every every utensil and container is edible.

	Anton Marx Regarding the Tesla Roadster, I hear there is a new battery coming out that would extend the "tank" life - essentially doubling the distance you can go on one charge. That would be 500 miles. I expect the people at Tesla are keeping up with these technological developments. Posted at 09:50 PM on September 18, 2007 \| report

	Ben Tucker Just a little wall post so you can see how the new wall post notifications look. :-) Also, a bunch of other new wall-related stuff: It's now much slicker when you post (no more page refresh) and you can delete posts from your won wall. Posted at 11:19 PM on July 20, 2007 \| report
	Joshua Pelletier Camus once said that "the aim of life can only be to increase the sum of freedom and responsibility to be found in every man and in the world." Congrats gents, I think that you have helped to do both. We are now informed and free to make better choices, as well more responsible, forced to account for our actions.

	Adam Colby Yeah, so I have been working really hard lately and haven't been able to do to much on your site yet!!! However, I have been trying to spread the word. Hope all is going well and I want to meet up again before I get back down to FL. Keep it real Posted at 10:01 PM on July 17, 2007 \| report

	Cory Savereid Patience my friend! The picture is up. I'm slowly but surely working on all these actions...where do I find the transportation-related ones?

	Pratik Thaker And without my generous $1 a day wage, they would have $0, and I think most people would agree that$1 > $0. Plus, keeping wages down means children have less incentive and means to purchase bottled water and packaged foods, minimizing waste and increasing society's overall sustainability Posted at 03:23 PM on July 05, 2007 \| report
