When my humans aren’t using their lap-tops and especially since I got my new job as resident dog-blogger on www.tripmi.ie, I have open access to the internet. It’s great! I can look up all the car-surfing-for-dogs sites. While I was surfing the web I came across some very interesting information which proves my theory that humans are crazy! Now, why don’t cars run on batteries? A very obvious question to ask when petrol and oil do so much damage to the environment. Well… it turns out a man did invent a battery that would allow a car to travel 300 miles on a single charge! Brilliant! Or so you would think… the manufacturer of the battery was bought out by big car manufacturers and oil companies in the U.S. and the idea was shelved. You humans are lunatics!! What’s that about?! Check it out on this video clip from Brasscheck TV.

You wouldn’t catch dogs pulling those crazy stunts!

Hello humans,

It was really great that the government published their ‘Smarter Travel, a Sustainable Transport Future’, last week to tackle congestion but am I the only one who thinks walking, cycling and public transport aren’t always the answer? When my humans are going to work how are they expected to take me on a bicycle? Cars aren’t all bad, once you’re carpooling or carsharing. I do it all the time. You won’t catch me travelling alone. Never in fact! I’d love to hear what others think. Have you gotten into carpooling yet?

TripMia, the Tripmi.ie dog-blogger

I’ve just joined the Tripmi team and due to my proven dedication to car-pooling and car-surfing I’ve been honoured with the role of resident blogger. I prefer the term dog-blogger as I’m an 8 year old Havanese terrier (I’ll be 9 on April 26th) who moved from Ripley, Derbyshire to South Circular Road, Dublin 8, when I was only 12 weeks old. I’ll invite guest bloggers from time to time but in the meantime check in with me regularly for the latest on car-pooling, car-sharing, lift-sharing and other things green.
