I love these guys. And I love what these guys are doing.

It goes beyond the service these guys offer or just being cab drivers.

These guys are actively trying to change the world. That was why they started Green Cab.

When I first flagged down a Green Cab almost two years ago…I hopped in and just started firing away with the questions. I happened to get one of the co-owners of the Green Cab company and he enlightened me. He started it with a couple friends. At the time they only had like 2 or 3 cabs. They were self-proclaimed environmental activists, Kucinich-supporters, trying to get GWB impeached, and holding environmental rallies all around the country. This Green Cab thing sounded like it was a side job.

When you hop into a Green Cab, you’re not just getting from one place to another, you’re getting enlightened by some extremely well-educated guys. Last night, I got into a very in-depth socio-political-environmental-economic discussion about the state of global warming, the effect of China’s growth on it, the thawing permafrost in Canada and Alaska, the fragile state of the world’s political situation and how things will pan out…

...in an effing CAB!

I know that hybrids may not be the best for the environment…and that we still have a ways to go to make a change, but it’s encouraging to see folks going above and beyond in order to make a noticeable impact in the world and to positively affect those around them in their everyday jobs.

In terms of being a business, Green Cab is a solid cab company that overachieves in terms of the quality of service and the vision.

(DISCLAIMER…because Green Cab is growing, you may not always get one of the owners or partners or environmental activists…you might eventually get someone from my homeland)
