Kudos to you! <BR/><BR/>I had a falling out with a blogger who ridiculed the notion of climate change, effectively calling me misguided, brainwashed, and just plain stupid.<BR/><BR/>Also, I recently read a debate on another blog about the US government's keen interest in spending multi-billions on further exploration of Mars for possible future colonization. <BR/><BR/>I was, needless to say, aghast. How could we even remotely consider the idea of spending that much in outer space when there is so much work to be done here?! Recycling programs could be expanded, stricter emission standards could be enforced (without fear of reprisal by powerful lobby groups, like the mining or car industries...)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I suppose I could have said all this on MY blog (*grin*) so I'll just end by saying, "Great post" and keep up the valiant efforts. You are definitely greener than I am in many ways -- but I try, and that's more than I can say for a lot of people.lattégirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428087458207367848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931044857030777009.post-81406987037514358532007-10-16T01:02:00.000-04:002007-10-16T01:02:00.000-04:00WAY TO GO, CD!!Anyway, I just fed the little chick...WAY TO GO, CD!!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I just fed the little chick...he he...he's so cute!! :DChoc Mint Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06258842426940547612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931044857030777009.post-15663871981331897862007-10-15T19:29:00.000-04:002007-10-15T19:29:00.000-04:00great post! i loved the song - did you come up wit...great post! <BR/>i loved the song - did you come up with that yourself? :)<BR/><BR/>i agree with you that this should be a top priority. what will we do if there's no more earth???<BR/><BR/>i love this quote: “We are not inheriting the Earth from our parents, we are borrowing it from our grandchildren.”<BR/><BR/>amyCrunchy Domestic Goddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04546426544439507593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931044857030777009.post-34185019009333848532007-10-15T18:16:00.000-04:002007-10-15T18:16:00.000-04:00Great list!

Hrm,...I feel like I'm not as green as I used to be. Hrm, this is hard to list out. <BR/>- I own a Prius and drive it whenever possible and refuse to buy SUV's. Our next minivan will also be a hybrid.<BR/>- We conserve water, esp as it relates to the lawn. But we also don't do small loads of laundry or dishs.<BR/>- I refuse to wash the car here at home. I use car washs only when necessary but refuse to pollute our sewer system and drinking water by washing here in the driveway, no matter how fun it is for the kids.<BR/>- I recycle, resale and reuse (not as much with the reuse as I should)<BR/>- I try not to shop at Walmart :-P<BR/>- I don't do cloth diaps but I do more or less EC<BR/>- I try to shop the perimeter of the store (fresh, not processed) and shop as much organic as I can. <BR/>- We buy our beef by the cow<BR/>- we don't use chemicals on our lawn.<BR/><BR/>We live in a very extremly "green" community that revolves around conservation and preservation so I feel woefully inadequate most of the time but some things we just can't do because we don't own the house or our "green" community has association rules against certain things (like solar panels!!!)
