Last Saturday, while most of our buses and drivers were up at Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge, my husband and I got up early (for a Saturday), stacked our kayaks on our car, and took off for Cathedral Park. We were heading for our first official river cleanup with the Willamette Riverkeepers and the 3rd Annual Great…

Not too long ago, we reported that Green Path Transfers, the WHL Group’s global, eco-friendly airport transfer and ground transportation network, had notched up 50 destinations in more than 30 countries. That was in early June 2011, a mere three months after Green Path Transfers was launched…

Happy Tuesday Blog Readers! Don’t forget to mark your schedules for the start of the BirdFest and Bluegrass Festival at the Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge, starting this Friday!  …

Have you ever wanted to drive a car that runs on the street car or trolley system?  I personally have never really thought about it, but Masahiro Hanazawa at Toyota Central R&D Labs in Japan, working with Takashi Ohira at the Toyohashi University of Technology, are all about figuring out how to make this work. …

Hola Blog Readers, It looks like summer is finally here!  I hope you’re all able to enjoy it.  In this week’s blog I want to look at some positive as well as some negative developments involving the health of our planet. First off, let’s check in with the Bad News Bear: …

  Hey Gang! Welcome back to the blog.  I took a week away from the blog last week because we have been mega-busy!  This week though, I want to look at an upcoming event called the BirdFest and Bluegrass Nature Festival (http://www.ridgefieldfriends.org/birdfest.php)…

  I have some good news from ecoShuttle Land:  We will be taking over Lewis and Clark College’s Pioneer Express bus route.  This means we’ve hired some talented new drivers.  We also just wrapped up our service out at Pickathon, which was again quite successful, it even got a nice write-up in a blog that…

  Hello Blog readers! This week many professional sports executives are in town to meet up and put their minds together to see how they can put their respective teams on the road to sustainability.  I love it when professional sports bump into social responsibility!…

  TGIF, blog readers!  This week has been pretty intense here at ecoShuttle.  July is a month where we find ourselves providing transportation for many weddings, so it seems appropriate that I mention one wedding in particular, that of two of ecoShuttle’s owners, Jesse Yun and Fiona Mitchell…

                  Hey Gang!                 I hope you all had an excellent 4th of July!  I survived it.  We enjoyed moving the Blues Fest musicians around for our 5th straight year.  Our next festival is Pickathon (http://pickathon.com/), and we’re gearing up for that in August…

  This year’s Waterfront Blues Festival will mark ecoShuttle’s 5th year sponsoring the event (http://www.waterfrontbluesfest.com/).  The company is sponsoring headliner Maceo Parker (http://maceoparker.com/), which means someone from the company will get to introduce his set!  Maceo started out playing with James Brown, and then he played with George Clinton’s Mothership.  After that collaboration, he teamed…
