P.S.

One more thing. Kudos to Whole Foods for taking a stand.
As of Earth Day no more plastic bags available at checkout in their stores!

Another Earth Day is on its Way!

April is literally just around the corner! Which means its Earth Day time again.

And in the last 9 months i have been tickled "green" by all the GREEN talk in the news and main stream media. My inner hippie is jumping for joy! Must be all those years in Eugene and near Berkeley. Even better is that the media has already exclaimed that the topic is over done - but we want more - so they oblige.

San Francisco Magazine had a great cover story in February called Green with Worry. My favorite line was something about having slips of paper in a pocket and holding onto them until you could find a recycle bin. I will admit to having that happen before!

I like the fact that i can fill my recycle bin to the top each week but can't claim the same for the trash. Maybe this is all a little too little too late. I have to think positive and hope there are enough of us out there doing good to offset all the bad...

March is here

I am still trying to figure out what resolutions to try and keep this year and all of a sudden it is March? I apologize for not being good about updating. I just don't have anything exciting to talk about right now.

We aren't all ok In the world

I read Dooce a few times a week. Mostly because Heather Armstrong says funny things that make me try my hardest not to spit out my morning coffee as i laugh.

Sometimes though she eloquently writes about the tough things in life we don't want to talk about and i commend her for doing it so well. Things like depression, medication, miscarriage, you name it.

I wanted to link all of you to this post in particular because more often than not we have friends and family that could use some help via medication but don't think they should ask for that help...

And i love her dog chuck. What a ham :)

Another set of Candles

Yesterday added another digit to that thing we call age. I certainly don't feel any different but the weight of the ones i love getting older does close in on me.
I think i'm starting to fear having to think of death.
Natual i'm sure as our grandparents and parents age.
But diffucult to comprehend as those my age pass on or even the younger ones.
It makes me sad :(

August

Happy August.
This happens to be one of my favorite months of the year.
Various birthdays to celebrate and the fresh cut grass memories of summer.

If any one does happen to be reading this i'm sorry i haven't posted in a while.
Life gets busy and then before you know it half the year has passed us by.

This may drive some people crazy but i'm going to start posting random recycling facts and links here that i find interesting. I don't know if it's the oversatuation of "green" in the media today or the 07/07/07 Live concert last month but the health of our environment has really (i hope) started to get peoples attention.

As we get into the politaical swing of things as candidates are narrowed down i'm curious to see if its the same old song or dance or are we lucky enough to have someone out there in the field that will act on what he or she is promising.

I hope i live to see the day when universal healthcare of some form and the environment is put ahead of money, money, money and the big companies profits.

This was advertised last night during a SF Giants game on one of the rotating billboards behind home plate : www.letsgreenthiscity.com

While reading the newspaper today it suggested i check out this site and so i did. Seemed interesting about a Stay at Home Mother in Utah.
Too funny! I have only skimmed it and i was laughing out loud!

I especially like the sarcasm of item number 6 on her FAQ.
