Original poster entitled “Share Your Car the Easy Way,” promoting the Office of Civilian Defense program Share The Ride Club. The club promoted the conservation of resources such as gasoline and rubber by limiting driving and carpooling to save travel waster of materials during World War II. This poster advertises for the public to come to the state capitol building six days a week to join a Civilian Defense Share The Ride Club. Poster features a magazine cut-out of people in a red convertible. The poster was original tacked up on display somewhere during the war [1940s] [Poster has two cardboard pieces stapled to the back of the poster as hangers used during WWII].

Time and again there is the talk of environmental pollution and what devastating effects it has on our habitat earth if we do not do anything about it: Everyday mountains of garbage land in the seas and endanger the animals living there. The earth’s resources are still being used up too much and the air is still too heavily polluted. Here are ten simple tips on how we can better protect the environment.
1. Create less waste
To protect the environment, it is very important to drastically reduce the amount of waste produced every day. This can be implemented in very different ways.
You should be careful when shopping to buy a few products that are packed in plastic and rather resort to alternatives in glass containers. Pack your groceries - food, clothing or whatever - preferably in a recyclable cloth bag or backpack instead of grabbing the plastic bag. Avoid using packaging such as to-go cups for coffee, which ends up in the trash immediately after use.
What’s also very important: Throw your garbage in the trash and do not just leave it on the street or in a meadow. Distributing the waste in nature not only looks ugly but is also very harmful to plants and animals, especially since plastic can not biodegrade.
2. Reuse things and materials
Generally uses containers that can be reused and materials that can be recycled. So there are companies that ensure that substances can be reused. There, products such as used advertising banners, flags or flags, which are robust in terms of material, are transformed into new products by means of high-quality craftsmanship and thus reused. Tissues of disused textiles or waste can also be recycled and turned into sustainable products.
But you too can reuse some things instead of throwing them away. So less waste for packaging, fruit bowls, and other leftovers as well as old textiles and you have to say goodbye to some of your favorite pieces yet.
Used T-shirts and undershirts are still good to use for work on the house, on the car or in the garden as a rag. The sleeves of old pullovers are suitable as cuffs that warm your wrists in winter.
To collect the plastic waste in the apartment, plastic shopping bags are well suited, which can be used again and again after emptying.
Paper that has been printed incorrectly does not necessarily end up in the garbage, but can serve as a sticky note or be reprinted on the still-white page for printing. The same applies to one-sided printed texts that you no longer need.
3. Consume less
In our company, we have everything available at all times, whether it is food and care products, furnishings or even clothing. This luxury entices you to buy more than you need. And especially the annual trends in furnishings and clothing are very tempting for many.
As these goods must also be transported and produced, CO2 emissions and waste accumulate accordingly. To counter this, you should limit yourself to the things that you really need and use. Wear your clothes longer instead of exchanging them for new ones every year.
4. Sustainable food
When it comes to food, you can easily do something to protect the environment by eliminating fish and seafood from your diet whenever possible. This is useful in two ways: First, it helps to ensure the survival of marine life.
Most of the fish stocks are already overfished or at least threatened by overfishing. On the other hand, there are fewer ways to transport food from the oceans into our fields, which in turn means less fuel consumption of heavy vehicles.
In general, you should keep an eye on where the products come from, which end up in your shopping baskets every week. Prefers to regional food, which has not already been driven several miles and made for enormous fuel consumption, until they finally arrive at the supermarket.
5. Throw away less food
In the supermarket, you can also pay attention to how much you buy and whether it must always be a large supply of everything. This reduces the risk of having to dispose of a lot of food in the garbage later because it has expired.
Because this is what happens daily in many German households and can be avoided by buying only what is actually needed.
6. Save water
Many run the water when they soap or shower their teeth while showering. This unnecessarily consumes a lot of fresh water, which can be avoided. Just turn off the water if you do not need it anyway.
Basically, bathing consumes more water than showering. That’s why full baths should be the exception as far as possible, then you are all the more looking forward to it. Using less water not only protects the environment but also your wallet.
7. Drive less
In order to pollute the environment less and to protect the climate, it helps enormously to leave the car now and then. For paths that you can easily walk or cycle, you should definitely do without the car. This saves the air, in the long run, a lot of exhaust gases and saves fuel. Besides, exercise does well and keeps you healthy.
Another way to save the environment is driving ahead. To get off the accelerator early when approaching a traffic light or speed limit also saves a lot of fuel. This effect also occurs when you slow down instead of going full throttle.
Alternatively to the car, you can also use public transport and get you sometimes brought by bus and train to work. Carpooling and car sharing are also good ways to protect the environment and reduce fuel consumption.
8. Save electricity
Take care to use only lamps with LED technology or energy-saving lamps. This significantly reduces the cost of electricity bills and is good for the environment. But there is more. Because electronic devices like the TV, which are turned off, still consume power in standby mode.
You can counteract this by attaching such devices and lamps to multiple sockets with a central switch. If this switch is off, no electricity flows into the devices. This helps you to save a bit of electricity every day.
9. Save heating energy
If you ventilate properly, you can save a lot of heating energy and thus protect the environment. Rip open the windows and balcony doors for a few minutes several times a day instead of letting the windows tilt all day long.
Because the forced ventilation consumes much less energy and prevents mold from forming on the walls of the room because the air humidity can escape better from the rooms.
In order to noticeably reduce heating costs and the environmental impact of CO2, it is enough to turn down the room temperature in the home by just one degree Celsius.
10. Use the fridge properly
In order to use the refrigerator, which is one of the largest power guzzlers, energy-efficient, it should be in the coolest possible place. The refrigerator door should only be opened as long as necessary and food should be allowed to cool to room temperature before you put it in the refrigerator. As a result, he needs less energy to cool things down.
If you go on holiday for a long time and you are not at home, you should switch off the fridge completely to reduce power consumption. For this reason, it is also advisable to defrost the refrigerator when icing has formed.

Massachusetts travelers will improve air-quality by choosing more sustainable transportation options during the Massachusetts Clean Air Challenge (formerly Car-Free Week). This year, Massachusetts challenges you to explore your commuting options and Shift Your Mode from September 22nd-26th. By trying greener modes including carpooling, vanpooling, bicycling, walking, and riding transit, participants are part of a collective effort to reduce the number of cars on the road, which reduces harmful emissions and improves the air in Massachusetts.
Polo Match- Barn Workshop- Military Veteran Fundraiser
Aug 12-13th Bettendorf IA, Quad Cities Area
This workshop is a fund raiser for Operation Horses and Heroes, a 501(c)(3) and will take place at the Quad Cities Polo Club and surrounding area on August 12 and 13th, The tour will consist of premium access to photograph the horses before and during the polo match on Saturday afternoon, a group dinner, an overnight stay in a local hotel and a barn or horse barn photographic workshop inside three barns the next morning.
The price for this workshop is $100 and is entirely tax deductible as Keith and Tony are donating all their fees to the not-for-profit and the gate for the match has been waived. The fee covers admission to the polo field and the guided barn workshop the next day. The only out of pocket will be gas and tolls, dinner and the hotel room that will be reserved for you. We will spend a maximum of 1 hour at each barn, giving time to shoot and get individual instruction. We will suggest and help arrange carpooling. The group would be capped at 20 people.
Upon registration you will receive the exact location, parking instructions, photography gear recommendations, and any other vital information to make this a fun, comfortable learning experience. Since this is the first time for the Polo Field hosting such an event, and the first time photographing here, we don’t have any good photos of what you can expect. However, imagine the polo match, riders in colorful silks, horses braided with colorful ribbons, and the match itself with horses flexing, and straining, showing off their power and flexibility. Then Sunday morning we’ll offer exclusive entrance to private barns near the polo grounds with all of it’s textures, and patterns, livestock, fencing, and so many other artful opportunities.
Operation Horses and Heroes is a 501(c)(3) Not-for-profit organization dedicated to provide healing and wellbeing to military veterans and active duty suffering from the effects of PTSD, and other traumatic brain injuries through the proven concept of Equestrian Psychotherapy. It is not horseback riding lessons, in fact it is rare if any of the participants in the program actually mount a horse. It’s more about providing our veterans with a scenario requiring them to work with the horse to accomplish a task under the watchful eye of a highly trained and credentialed Equine Psychotherapist. Using cues from the horse the therapist can establish “tells” about the veteran and use that information to help them understand their PTSD and provide ways to cope with it, or work through it in everyday life situations.
OHH is not funded by any government organization and relies entirely on donations, volunteers, and the support of everyday people like you. We have so far successfully held our 3 and 4 day programs in various locations around the US without it costing our dedicated military men and women any money. It’s bad enough some of them have to take off work, or use precious vacation days for the program, however it works and it vital to healing in the family especially. For more information on Operation Horse and Heroes visit www.operationhorsesandheroes.org or search for them on face book.
The drive home was LONG.
So, I tried to make it interesting by snapping a photo every time I stopped - whether it was stuck in traffic or at a red light. There were a ton of red lights today, so I got plenty of photos. Kris was out of the office today - we work together - so we were not carpooling. He would have never allowed photography if he had been in the car.
Don't worry - I used the self-timer and I was safe. (View Larger)
Saving grace for this bad week: wearing a handknit item every day to work. Today's choice was my Cherie pullover. It was perfect because it is finally getting chilly. (Wednesday's choice was Sesame, Thursdays was my Verona, and other days were all socks)
The vintage postcard of Santa and the Devil carpooling is real. All that I added was the green text and black background. Merry X mas!

The best place for law abiding people to get as tune up is the Space Repair Garage, founded in 2009 by Icon109 and six friends. (noted above are those friends) Here we see them hover-carpooling to work.
(In reality, these were my first freinds on the LEGO Messageboards way back in 2009-10. We all roleplayed as the Space Rapir Garage team in the Space Police III forum. This is a shoutout to those wonderful days and nice people. NOTE: The charecters are in regular type, while user-names are in parentheses. There are more in the second picture. There are plenty more people, but I couldn't fit them all. Sorry!)
Four days ago, on 18 August 2019, I was fortunate enough to make a return visit to a wonderful farm, NW of the city. I left home a few minutes before 8:00 am and arrived back home at 8:00 pm, feeling totally tired out. This was partly because I had only had a couple of hours' sleep the night before, and because it took me two hours to get to the farm. This was the first time I had ever driven myself there, as we had carpooled on the previous two visits. To say the least, I was not at all impressed to see the Maintenance light on my car dashboard come on before I had even left Calgary! Have an appointment this afternoon, to see to the matter. After leaving the farm, I took some new back roads that had been recommended to me while I was at the farm; roads that I had never driven before. Beautiful scenery, and I discovered a rather nice old log cabin and two or three old rusty vehicles, including a beautiful big, blue bus. I am SO happy that I made myself do both drives. I had to do it, as this is an amazing farm, and I couldn't bear the thought of not visiting again.
This 53 acre farm, Akesi Farms, is a 90 minute drive from downtown Calgary and is near the town of Sundre. It belongs to Meghan Vesey and Kwesi Haizel. It is permaculture based with future crops of eggs, mushrooms, fruits and nuts! Hard to believe that this beautiful place has only belonged to this young, hardworking, enthusiastic couple since November 2014. A tremendous amount of work, thought and planning has already gone into adding to what was already there, with a 'little' help from family and friends.
Below is the link to a video about Meghan and Kwesi and the farm, by The Redneck Gourmet Show, 23 March 2017. The video was taken in winter - in summer, the farm is a mass of colour!
Our visit coincided with Alberta Open Farms weekend, where about 100 farms were open to the public. Our Naturalist leader had arranged to take anyone interested in nature on a nature walk, at 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. A very interesting, short talk on the history of Bergen and the area around the farm was given by Marilyn Halvorson, who has lived in the area for many years. Three tables had also been set up - one had attractive barn quilts painted on wood (Jenni Weeks at N50 Barn Quilts). Another had knitted items and quilts from Irene Echlin. The third had produce such as jars of home-made marmalade (from Kettle Crossing Farm), and also green tomatoes which had been grown in a massive greenhouse near Olds. I discovered when I got home that eating just one tomato was not enough, they were so good. This is something I have been very impressed by ever since I first met Meghan and Kwesi. They are very community-minded, helping other farmers, which is so good to see.
We were also shown a small display of several edible mushroom species that are being grown on the farm, Some of them are also growing in a few places around the farm - Meghan's mother very kindly pulled a little cluster of three Wine Caps that were growing in the vegetable garden, for me to take home and try. Of course, I had to take a few photos last night, before I added them to a Spanish Omelette : )
Check out their mushroom business. They are selling mushroom spawn for if you want to grow your own. They also offer talks on how to do this. The Fante word "Akuafo" means farmer.
Thank you so much, Meghan, Kwesi and Meghan's parents, for such a lovely day! Great to see new additions to the farm (well done, Kwesi!), as well as all the familiar things, including those beautiful dogs, Whiskey (male Border Collie/Great Pyrenees cross) and Titan (male Great Pyrenees), and your chickens and geese. Too bad we missed the honey created in your beehives. I wish you all the very best - you deserve all the successes that come your way.

These are the balls that my neighbors hung in their tree LAST Christmas. We’ve had to look at them all year, reminding us of a season that’s come and gone in the mid-summer heat. I’ve wondered are they just lazy? Did they cast them up too high and now they can’t get them down? What? They do rotate decorations, religiously each holiday. And they voted for George Bush, which somehow these balls seem to remind me. At least it’s almost time for them to be appropriate again.
Meanwhile, things haven’t really gotten much better, so more things that suck: ( www.flickr.com/photos/70007155@N00/64773594/in/photostream/ )
David can’t find his wedding ring
He got a speeding ticket and we had a flat tire, and now we can’t retrieve our car cause it won’t start
I’m in babysitter sharing / carpooling hell
The radiator in my daughter’s room runs cold and I have to somehow find a way to magically balance it so it provides her with heat.
Maddie now has a cold/runny nose (because of above?)
I bumped my head 3 times today and crunched my finger once, and cut my toe
we found out that D's company is most definitely against telecomuting, and I just saw a house in Western Mass that looks like it could have our names on it.
While searching for the lost wedding ring, I discovered a certain green and white striped sock that belonged to Maddie age 6-12months. It quickly lost its partner back then, but I held onto the single sock all this time in hopes we might find it (this should be understood by moms everywhere). Upon revisiting the single sock this week, and having not found its partner in the last 2 years, I finally tossed it in the garbage, which I asked David to put out with the trash yesterday. ONLY to find it’s partner today. And a lot of dust. But not the wedding ring.
AND to top it all off, my oven quit working in the middle of my making everything but the turkey on Wednesday evening for the Thanksgiving dinner for 7. The utilities people had come to replace the door hinges, and I finally got to bake my sweet potatoes, for what turned out to be this amazing sweet potato casserole dish that has, cream, brandy, caramelized apples (note to JKH, this is a recipe you might want!), and I had put in my pumpkin breads, but after an hour they had done nothing. At 10pm after he had taken it all apart the PSEG guy told me that it was part they needed to order so no, I’d have no oven to cook my turkey which was 21lb and sitting in my fridge.
My friend Hannah thinks someone has the mal occhio (evil eye on me) and that I need to burn sage in every corner of my house. She says it's not necessarily that I did something awful, but that it may be out of jealously or that really I am too blessed. So perhaps I should just be thankful instead.

Toyota USA Museum.
From Wikipedia
"The Toyota eCom was an electric vehicle (EV) that Toyota first demonstrated at the 1997 Tokyo Motor Show. The premise of the eCom was not to be just a small car, but a car available to everybody that had a special electronic card instead of a key, promoting carpooling. It was seen in various car shows and demonstrations in three color schemes, one being white with blue fringes, another gold with blue fringes and the third very similar to the first with green-blue fringes.
Fifty eComs were made and stations were set up for rental in Toyota City. Thirty are still in use.
Toyota Motor Sales USA joined with the University of California, Irvine and other partners to demonstrate the shared use of electric cars utilizing the eCom, Toyota's 2-passenger personal transport EV. Participants include companies located in University Research Park, a commercial park next to the university. Along with sharing cars, the "Living Power Park Laboratory" will investigate breakthrough concepts in urban design, electricity generated by stationary fuel cells, and use of a micro power grid to distribute electricity. A fleet of e-coms were used for short-distance shared-usage driving and commuting.
The eCom and cars like it were pulled from Toyota's widespread lineup not long after for financial reasons. It could also be thought of as the precursor to the hybrid vehicle Prius and followed by the Toyota Crayon."

Germany has introduced a somewhat peculiar yet highly specific traffic sign for car-sharing vehicles, which often causes confusion for those unfamiliar with it. The sign is typically a standard blue square indicating a parking space, but underneath, it features a unique pictogram. This pictogram shows four stylized human figures – two men and two women – accompanied by a car that appears to be split or cut in half down the middle. This seemingly abstract image is meant to visually represent the concept of car sharing, with multiple people sharing a single vehicle.
The purpose of this rather enigmatic sign is to designate parking spots exclusively for official car-sharing vehicles. It's crucial to understand that this does not apply to private carpooling or informal car-sharing arrangements. Only vehicles registered with recognized car-sharing companies are permitted to park in these designated spots. If a private vehicle, even one engaged in a casual carpool, parks in a spot marked by this sign, the driver risks a fine and potentially even having their vehicle towed.
While the intention behind the sign is clear in its regulatory context, its visual representation has often been a source of amusement and bewilderment. Many find the "car cut in half" imagery to be far from intuitive for "car sharing," leading to jokes and puzzled reactions. Despite the potential for confusion, this distinct sign is part of Germany's efforts to promote and regulate car-sharing services, providing dedicated infrastructure for these increasingly popular mobility solutions within urban environments.

• For safety reasons, we are only releasing addresses to ticket-holders/attendees.
• Your wait in line will be shorter if the instructions below are followed!
________________________________________________
Before Tour Day:
• Locate your Brown Paper Ticket (BPT) confirmation email. You should have received it the same day that you purchased/received your tour ticket(s). Check the email you used to receive the tickets, as well as your "spam" folders.
• Under 1. “Cart Overview”, you will see, “Your order contains one or more Print-at-Home tickets. If you have not already done so, please print your tickets by following this link: (specific link to your ticket).”
• Click on that link to display your ticket / barcode.

________________________________________________
On Tour Day (June 1, 2019 between 10AM and 4PM):
• Go to your assigned address (this helps us spread guests between houses and will make the lines shorter). Carpooling with other guests? Pick one assigned address for all to check in. No need to make multiple stops.
• Tour homes will have signs posted in front, but there will be no additional tour signage; this is a private event for ticket-holders only. There will be no tickets sold at the door.
• These homes are in residential neighborhoods, so please drive slowly and with care. Study maps and alternative routes in advance to avoid heavy traffic and difficult turns. If you can walk easily, park farther from the homes to avoid traffic and walk in.
• Show your barcode(s) at the first home and have them scanned.
• Get your hand stamped (for easy entry to the other five homes) and pick up your guidebook. Then enjoy the rest of the tour!
Looking forward to seeing you on tour day!
All the best,
Your hosts from SacMod
