My interest in green dates back to the 1970s to wind energy when the devices were crude and not very powerful. However, the bulk of my green technology coverage took place when I created the Green Engineering blog at Design News in 2006 and subsequently co-authored the Thinking Tech blog at SmartPlanet.com. I have been regularly covering topics such as the smart grid, climate change and renewable energy for past four years. Below is small sampling of headlines that link to that work.

Did you know that an American dog has an annual ecological footprint that is twice that of a Toyota Land Cruiser? Feeding the dog meat byproducts is worse for the environment than feeding an SUV petroleum byproducts.
