Coming soon: New Column: Living Green by Blaze McRob

-

 Hi Friends! 

So far, I've been penning the articles for this blog, but I've invited Blaze McRob to post his Living Green articles here as well. He's been posting them on the Blazing Owl Press blog, and we both agreed that Green Geezers would be a much better home for them.  

Blaze is a much more prolific writer than I am, so the Green Geezers material will no doubt expand exponentially within the next few weeks, and continue to bring you news, information, and insight about all environmental topics.  

Welcome aboard, Blaze McRob! Let's shine a green light on it together!

Welcome to the Green Geezers Blog!

  Hi friends, So you found Green Geezers. Welcome! "Be the change you want to see in the world" is a profound maxim that I took to heart for two reasons: 1) Talk is cheap and 2) because sometimes I'm looking for a way to help despite my physical disabilities and limited finances. Since that particular obstacle course hasn't been widely addressed by existing organizations or programs, I thought it was time to get creative. I'm a physically disabled writer living well below the poverty line.   Attending demonstrations? Not happening. Publicizing the work of organizations, foundations, and individual environmentalists? Hell yes! I'm all in.   Hence the Green Geezers blog.   Who we are: I am a horror writer, as is my husband, Blaze McRob. We post daily links and sample chapters of our books on social media. And extend that publicity to other writer friends of ours. While we donate to certain charities and causes as much as possible, we wanted to do mor

Did You Know About Tar Sands?

 Tar sands are the most land wasteful, all around filthy, horrible for the environment, life-threatening form of energy in existence right now. Here's why I say that: What are tar sands? Tar sands, or oil sands, are a mixture of mostly sand, clay, water, and bitumen , which is what all the fuss – and filthy, water polluting, soil polluting, toxic process – is about. Bitumen is made of the same molecules as liquid oil and the same fossil fuel products are made from it. What is so bad about tar sands? The process of getting the bitumen out of the tar sand is complicated, filthy, dangerous, and expensive. Far more so than drilling for liquid oil, which is bad enough. The two ways of mining bitumen:               1)       Surface mining: The tar sands are collected, transported to a refinery, and the bitumen is separated from it 2)       "In-situ" mining: Bitumen is changed into liquid state by heating it with steam, underground, where it occurs naturally.

Green Geezers Environmental Link Dump

-
  Hi Friends, In this series of articles, I plan to periodically provide you with contact information for various individuals, groups, and organizations concerned with environmental and wildlife causes. These particular blogs will be ongoing and cumulative, so if you're interested, you can build a directory of your own. I do have more in-depth profiles of environmentalist individuals and organizations coming up soon, but these "Contact Dumps" will provide a slew of information all at once to be detailed later. I hope you find these blogs helpful in locating information you need to become involved in environmental causes. There's a lot riding on our involvement in these causes – including avoiding our own (human) extinction. Hopefully with this information all in one place you can decide on some organizations to donate to, or, like I do, familiarize yourself with their activities and take part in some way – either by showing up at functions, sharing their informa
