Green Miles

There are so many ways we can be green. (But wasn't it Kermit who said "It's not easy being green"?) It can drive you nuts!

Like you, we here at NorCal MINIs get up early and have our fresh ground coffee. But, what do you do with the used grounds? Put them down the drain? Not great. Put them in the trash? Not much better. Caffeinate the plants? Doping is out. How about turning them into biodiesel! Obviously, a new Starbucks opportunity.

As far as green engines are concerned, we have always been partial to ones that could run on air alone. But you have to make it lightweight. How about out of Lego blocks?

The best green miles, of course, are those you don't drive at all. In fact, with the right auto insurance, such as the newly concocted "pay-as-you-drive" plan, the less you drive the lower your insurance premiums. So if you don't drive at all you pay nothing! Wait ... if we don't drive we don't need insurance. Hmmm. Told you it could drive you nuts.
