Where's the FOHBOH Bus and the first stop?

Hi Adam, As I designed the bus artwork I'd be happy to supply both - just need Ted or Michael to give the nod, as I don't want to step on any toes ;) Regards Mark PS Think a model bus is the bes... more

I love to work within the restaurant biz as you guys always have a wonderful aesthetic! I love corporate identity and I'm the online guru (or is that geek?!) in our ad agency.

I'm a vegetarian who eats fish. I'm the cook in my house and I try and grow most of the vegetables and fruit we eat too, I try and live ethically, so you'll find me sourcing food locally, recycling everything and using renewable energy where I can. I'm big on corporate responsibility too.

I'm a big reader (about a book a week) and have a huge eclectic collection of music.

Gas prices up. So what!

By Mark McKellier on Jun 9, 2008 at 6:28am | 3 Comments (Add) | 38 Views

I heard today that Americans are complaining about the increase in gas prices - you're now paying $4 a gallon. Want to know what we have to pay in the UK? £1.30 a litre that's $9.14 a gallon! (assuming 3.7 litres to a US gallon and an exchange rate of $1.90 to £1... more

From Treehugger.com It's not quite war time, although sometimes it feels like it... Endless articles on the "credit crunch", cutbacks and soaring food prices are putting a chill in the air. During WW2 the British were digging Victory gardens in squares and public ... more

Recycle Your Corks with ReCork America

By Mark McKellier on May 27, 2008 at 6:05am | 2 Comments (Add) | 81 Views

From Treehugger Don't pitch your corks after you polish off your wine! There's a lot to like about cork as an eco-friendly material: it's harvested (primarly from the Cork Oak tree, or Quercus suber) in a way that doesn't harm the tree, making it almost unendingly ... more

my name is Maria Luisa...

uhm, after coffe and pizza I think you are ready for a very greedy experience in Rome.
For exemple the voluptuous embrace between crustaceans and pork tripe with home made tagliatelle, Roman pecorino cheese and mint (http://www.roma-gourmet.com/rice_papp.html) to taste here:

Next time, if you like, I'll suggest you appetizer, second course, cheese and dessert...

I see that you work for a company called Thunk, what's it all about?

At 5:31pm on March 10th, 2008, Adam R. Cox said…: I really love your writings and stance on being green, lowering the carbon footprint. I think that Americans really need to limit on what they do, their intake, output and just think about what they do. It is very hard and sometimes cost prohibitive to do what they want. However, it really starts with the mindset and then cutting out one thing at a time. Then like a snowball, it grows and grows as you keep going.

Could be just as easy as taking a bike ride to the market or doing all your shopping on one day for your food.

Take care and thanks for the posts and joining the Amanda group!
