Going green was more than just a theme for us this week — it was literally a way of life for at least one of us. Our bold writer in San Francisco, Steven Leckart, actually went off the grid, cutting himself off from getting power from any wall outlets from Monday to Friday. It was an impressive adventure that answered a lot of questions, like how you jump-start a laptop, whether portable wind power is viable, and if solar-made coffee is in our future.

On top of our powerless experiment, we had tons of information on how you can give yourself some green cred, courtesy technology. Browse our Earth Week features and feel free to chime in with your own green experiences:
