Since I have the best day job in the world (in addition to the best freelance job in the world, lucky me), I was actually out yesterday working booths in both Statesboro and Hinesville. I spread the Earth Day love all over the Georgia coastal region.

Funniest thing I came across, you ask? I loved that Hinesville’s impression of Earth Day involved booths for exterminator companies and earth moving equipment. And then there was the booth where you could paint a dead fish and then put the impression on a t-shirt. Seriously. Ponder that.

About

Transportation, land use, local farming and green building are all potential topics for Sustainable Savannah. The goal is to aggregate content about local events and projects, so there will be a central place to review everything that’s happening. The site is aimed at encouraging collaboration and information sharing between groups and individuals currently engaged in sustainability efforts. The site can also provide a snapshot of Savannah for green-minded people who are considering visiting or moving to to the area.

- Bgrand2day: the government has no right to tell me what i can and cannot do. im can operate a car fine while texting, in fact people not texting arent always as good at driving, so i dont think the goverment can tell me not to. its violating my rights not to let me do what i want in my own car.
- Thomas: Seems as if nothing was taken from the previous incident of the terracotta lion that was destroyed by a driver speeding across the same street. I’m sure that statue was just as much of a criminal. I am curious though, as to what the driver would think about the comments on the...
- Zufechten: Every right and privilege comes with the attendant responsibility to exercise it with regard to the effects on others, whether it is dumping toxic materials, selling risky real estate derivatives, or operating a three ton truck while not paying attention. To rephrase an old saying,...
- Bryan Fordham: The logic doesn’t make perfect sense unless you begin from the assumption that the government should regulate anything potentially dangerous. I also never said it wasn’t dangerous to text and drive. But this type of hyperbolic posts don’t make the case well at all.
- Bryan Fordham: When I worked downtown, I always looked both ways before crossing one way streets. You don’t have to have too many close encounters before you wise up. But I don’t recall the police ever cracking down on that. Odd how pedestrians are the enemy, somehow.

- Daniel: The logic of this post makes perfect sense. I don’t think the point is that anything that could possibly hurt someone should be outlawed, but that anything that has pretty good chance of hurting someone should. The evidence of the dangers of texting while driving are accepted by all...
- Bryan Fordham: So your point, then, is anything that could possibly hurt someone should be outlawed? We have laws about wild animals and swinging bats already. What about just walking down the street carrying a bat, though? I might swing it, and it might hit someone. We need a law for that, too,...
- One who knows: I believe that the police should check the vision of the driver. Assuming the driver is whom I have been lead to believe it is, he has extremely poor vision and should no longer be driving. He was also in an exhausted state which is not illegal, but may have contributed to reduced...
