This isn’t your typical Flaunt It! Monday people. This is something I ran across last night and it really deserves a HUGE Flaunt. So, today I am asking you to read this and take action.  See how YOU can go out and Flaunt this innovative trip that will start in less then 24 hours.

Yesterday I was followed and asked for help by @ShockingBarak. I didn’t pay much attention at first until I was asked to RT. That’s when I went to their site and saw their mission. Now I know all of you remember the trip our auto mongrels took to our state capital to beg and plead for money to keep their doors open, right?  Driving their hybrid SUV’s big enough to sleep my whole family comfortably? How can we forget? Shocking Barak hasn’t forgotten either and decided to show people the way it could have been done!

Our plan is to retrace the route of the automotive CEOs who went to Washington DC asking for government loans. But instead of looking for aid, we’d like to present President Obama with a homegrown solution to the transportation crisis. Having worked with Brammo, we’re fans of what they’re doing. We want to spread the word and we want to have a little fun while we’re doing it. So join us as we surf from plug to plug in a quest to meet Obama, fueled by nothing more than electricity and the kindness of everyday Americans.

The Brammo Motorcycle they refer to is a light weight, mass produced, 100% electric motorcycle.  It produces no emissions, no noise pollution, is made from recycled parts and can be recycled. Read more…

So, in itself a very innovative idea right? So, what can you do to help? Are you in the path they are taking from Detroit, MI to Washington, DC? Can they swing by and charge up? Can they crash for the night and enjoy your company? Can you provide them with a homegrown or local meal or snack?

Oh yah, the biggie, they need us to reach out to President Obama. So, if you happen to know someone, that knows someone… or maybe we can all just make some noise!

If you are not on their trip route, like me, there are still ways you can help! Tweet or Facebook the trip and the mission! Show your support by blogging about it. Maybe even buy a few Carbon Credits to help offset the emissions to charge the vehicles? I’m just thinking off the top of my head early this Monday morning. I’m sure there are many ways you can help if you are close by or far away. That is why I am here to tell you about it! So get out there, and make this viral, or comment below with thoughts on how we can help, or tell us what you are going to do to help!

I have not been asked to post about this, I am not being paid to post about this, I just love the idea and want to share & support. I hope you will too!

Flaunt It! Monday: Shocking Barak

I had such an insanely successful weekend giveaway with Mama Goes Green’s Better Life Trio, I decided to take a break from Flaunt it! Monday this week.  I think my clients would appreciate if I did something other then approve comments for the next few days.  Look for another great Flaunt It! Monday next Monday.

A whole new world:

Meanwhile, there are tons of announcements on the home front and nationwide I would like to share with you.  First, if you are on the Eco-Office Gals site right now you may notice it is COMPLETELY different.  If you are reading this in your email or reader please come check out the new site and tell me what you think! Joe, of Zealous Marketing has been wonderful enough to turn Eco-Office Gals up a notch for the new year and I really love it!  Yes, we have a few bugs to work out, but once it is complete I think you will be impressed.

New Pages:

I have added a few pages to the site over the last few weeks.  The first is a Flaunt It! Monday sponsorship page.  Here you will find the basic outline of the Flaunt It! Monday process.  If you have an eco-friendly product and would like to strut your stuff, come check out this page.  Second, I have created a page to spotlight Eco-Office Gals.  Whether it be kudos, recommendations, awards, or honorable mentions, you will now find them on the Raves page.

New Places:

Eco-Office Gals will start writing a monthly post for 5 Minutes For Going Green.  I was more then flattered when I was accepted for this spot, since some of the other writers are bloggers and greenies I look up to.  They set the standards and recognition I hope to achieve in my own business.  I hope to learn and grow from this experience and welcome any suggestions for my guest spot as well as what you would like to learn more about here on Eco-Office Gals.

Outside My Box:

This week is not all about Eco-Office Gals changing.  If you just woke up from hibernation tomorrow may come as a surprise to you.  Obama will become the 44th president of the United States and I am very excited to see and be part of the change he offers with his presidency.  No matter who you voted for in the election I hope we can all unite tomorrow and turn this trainwreck we call the economy, the environment, the war on terrorism (insert more here) around.  Just like growing green one person can’t do it alone and every little step you take counts.

Additionally, it is Martin Luther King Day today.  I wish you a happy and healthy day today and hope you will take a moment to reflect on the change he made long ago that makes tomorrow’s event possible!

So, go forth and conquer this week and with everything you do, Grow Green!

Jen
