It's'a Mario! And He's Called a Cab'a for You'a!

I'll admit, I take too many taxis at night when I should just take the subway like a good, green citizen. But it's hard to stick to my guns when my favorite fireball hurling, kart riding, mushroom addicted friend of Princess Daisy is paying for cabs in New York today to promote Mario Kart for the Wii.

According to AdWeek, " The popular video game character will be hailing cabs for midtown Manhattan commuters in the morning and during lunch to promote the launch of the Mario Kart Wii racing game. The costumed character will appear near the Sheraton Hotel on Seventh Avenue and 52nd Street."

Cute promo. Not very green. But racing leads me to a larger green/sustainability question: In a fuel crisis, how can we justify NASCAR? Something to ponder for another time.

It's Easy Being Green!

I just checked and Yahoo is running their own Top 10 List of things you can do to to live Green. While there is some overlap from this blog to their site, you can find some more intricate ideas, and some that are more costly than what we've suggested. I encourage you to check it out, cause the more informed we are, the better off we will be.
