Hour Car: A Little Red Green Car

Img_0271_2 I have some trepidation about "green" gestures, even though I make them both as a marketing writer and as a consumer and ciizen. The problem isn't the actions, but the ratio of self-congratulation to actual positive change.  To its credit, the Lil Green Patch application on Facebook is relentlessly precise about this: I have saved not a Rain Forest but a Rain Twig. That said, this car is a good idea and it brightened my day to see it in the neighborhood. Plus the owner  turned out to be a big fan of Al.

The lil green patch thing reminds me of an easy repetitive board game I would have played as a child. "Can you give Bud the dog a bone?" I get a childish satisfaction out of that.

That's exactly what it reminds me of.
