Most companies send a pre paid envolope with there crap so all you have to do is remove anything that has your name and address on it and then mail it back to them. I like to insert other junk mail I get to so they can pay to dispose of that for me too.

I don't have any suggestions for an AC unit, but if/when you find one that is efficient, let us know--I know what you mean about suffering last summer. I don't have AC either, and it was horrible last year!<BR/><BR/>I like your idea about the fluorescent bulbs. I will have to start saving up to purchase those for my apt too.<BR/><BR/>I hope you had a nice weekend with Dan in town!<BR/><BR/>CourtneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195595.post-21053528216905759492007-04-25T07:11:00.000-05:002007-04-25T07:11:00.000-05:00well i already drying clothes outside!i already c...well i already drying clothes outside!<BR/><BR/>i already change the energy bulbs !<BR/><BR/>next resolutions!<BR/>learn to reuse and recycle more around the house.<BR/><BR/>talk to other people abut the importance of taking good care fo the earth!<BR/><BR/>i want to buy cleaning products and self care products that not impact the earth. is just that here is not easy find them. i dont even find one for washing the clothes. so i must looks for them in the internet and save lots for the shipping!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195595.post-23667297101350086142007-04-25T00:14:00.000-05:002007-04-25T00:14:00.000-05:00Awesome post, and awesome comment above.

Wow, it's already been a year since your last E-Day resolutions - I remember that post and how inspired I was by it, and find myself re-inspired this year, Catherine!<BR/><BR/>We only buy compact bulbs now, and are slowing replacing the dinosaurs one by one.<BR/><BR/>I vow to begin composting this summer. There have been a couple practical road-blocks, but the time has come.<BR/><BR/>We are going to sell our too-big, gas guzzling car asap --- and get a smaller, more fuel-efficient car. I Can't wait.<BR/><BR/>and, I really like your idea of drying clothes outside, and may put a clothesline on honey's honey-do list...<BR/><BR/>Happy Earth Day!!! :o)Vicki's Vegan Vicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00786229426003858902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195595.post-10918760368440981062007-04-24T23:31:00.000-05:002007-04-24T23:31:00.000-05:00I'm in Northern CA, and it's been a dryer than usu...I'm in Northern CA, and it's been a dryer than usual winter, so I'm being especially conscious of my water use before they even announce retrictions. <BR/><BR/>I also realize that as important as my individual contributions are, we need changes on a corporate and governmental level, too. Here are four quick ways to make your voice heard for the environment, courtesy of the Sierra Club:<BR/><BR/>1) If water quality is a concern for you, send a message to your Member of Congress to urge co-sponsorship of the Clean Water Authority Restoration Action of 2007. http://action.sierraclub.org/a_cleanwater<BR/><BR/>2) Out, out, dam spots! It’s time to find out whether removing four dams from the Snake River could save the Columbia Basin and threatened salmon populations. Ask your Representative to support the Salmon Economic Analysis and Planning Act http://action.sierraclub.org/a_salmon<BR/><BR/>3) Who doesn’t like clean energy, right? Contact your Senators and ask them to fund new investment in clean energy by rolling back subsidies for Big Oil.<BR/> http://action.sierraclub.org/a_cleanenergy<BR/><BR/>4) Think you have what it takes to fight global warming? Be part of the 2% Solution. Find out if you’re up for the challenge. http://action.sierraclub.org/a_2percent<BR/><BR/>Whatever you're doing to protect the environment, it's good!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
