Spring Cleaning
It's springtime again and maybe time to look into ways we can clean up our own small square of the Earth. My sister sent me a link to CampaignEarth. They offer an easy challenge on how to reduce our junk mail, stop receiving unwanted catalouges, and alternative places to dispose of magazines and catalogues other than the landfill.
If we successfully reduced the number of catalogs produced in this country by 30% we would:
-preserve 16.6 billion gallons of water each year
-conserve over 100 barrels of oil
-keep 3.5 million tons of CO2 out of the atmosphere
Take the challenge. Go to http://www.campaignearth.org/TheChallenge_Detail.asp?caller=C1009 to sign up.
Does anyone else know of other sites that will give us ideas on conservation?

I found another link to good ideas on preserving our enviornment at readers digest .com. The link is http://www.rd.com/channel/the-environment/
I signed up to do it. I am trying to find the right number to call the local newspaper that sends massive amounts of junk mail. I would love to get that cancelled.
I just love the idea of stopping all annoying junk mail and doing something good for the enviroment as well. Stopping the catalogues is harded to do, because I love to get them, but, come on, could Pottery Barn and PB Kids send out any more catalogues?? It's insane.
Wow, my typing has gotten bad...I need to start proof-reading my own posts...
Has anyone seen An Inconvenient Truth yet?
Not yet, Mel... but it is on my "to-see" list. Maybe we should all watch it as homework asap?
