It’s been a while since I’ve done any sort of link love post around here. Too bad, because there’s been some cool green family news lately. Here’s a recap of some issues and topics that green families can use.

Marye over at Kettle & Cup has a great post up that you should read: Coffee Biodiesel for a Smooth Ride. Oooooo! Coffee powered cars. So cool. Marye notes, among other things that the exhaust actually is coffee scented. If this was the norm, it might be a greener world, but it would also fuel my already BAD coffee addiction. I’d never stop thinking about coffee. Still, this is a great deal – so head over and have a read.
Not to waste a link love post, here are some other green goodies you should be reading today…

Mainly, I just wanted to give you a heads up, but not to waste a post, I …read more
