Don't you dare throw in that proverbial towel. You are doing a great service to the earth just by doing what you do every day. A little bit makes a big difference if all of us do a little bit. So you do yours and i'll do mine and i'll bet we're being joined by myriad others. YOU do make a difference, and i'm proud of you for it!KleoPatrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15870163086087701279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195595.post-82765885421949610512007-07-26T10:39:00.000-05:002007-07-26T10:39:00.000-05:00Catherine - you do such a great job and are very a...Catherine - you do such a great job and are very aware of your footprint...even if a website doesn't realize it.<BR/><BR/>I just got Animal, Vegetable, Miracle from Amazon last month. I kinda have a book buying addiction, so there are about 10 books before it for me to read, but I'm eager to see what happens! <BR/><BR/>-CrystalCrystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116685291056531223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195595.post-68557941043003868202007-07-25T22:16:00.000-05:002007-07-25T22:16:00.000-05:00I totally understand your rant.

I don't get plastic bags. I don't buy water in plastic bottles. I recycle like a maniac. I buy local and organic and non-processed and non-packaged food when I can. In the winter, I set the thermostat to 66, 67 at the highest. I don't spray my lawn. I don't have a gas powered lawn mower. And, oh yeah, I'm a vegan. Think how much it says our footprints are. And then think how many people don't even come close to caring that much. It's enough to make you scream in frustration!bazuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07020880461667324114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195595.post-65566939586293803962007-07-24T07:49:00.000-05:002007-07-24T07:49:00.000-05:00I share your frustration! but i have hopes.sending...I share your frustration! but i have hopes.<BR/><BR/>sending you good wishes that your property tax return shows up quick!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195595.post-6885050445693862062007-07-23T23:33:00.000-05:002007-07-23T23:33:00.000-05:00Just remember, every little bit helps.

Anyhow, he's been very outspoken on global warming and got called out on eating meat & diet's effect on the issue. He took the challenge, stepped up to the plate and is now eating a vegan diet! If only Al Gore would do the same. He's much more visible and it would do so much. *sigh*Carrieā¢https://www.blogger.com/profile/03326682699231189746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195595.post-2266032154861241882007-07-23T21:49:00.000-05:002007-07-23T21:49:00.000-05:00On the positive side, even though the calculator s...On the positive side, even though the calculator still says we would need two earths if everyone lived like you, I believe that if everyone lived like the 'average' westener, we would need over 4 earths!Freedomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04161195753297828148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195595.post-7529197572831573342007-07-23T21:19:00.000-05:002007-07-23T21:19:00.000-05:00I share your frustration, Catherine.

It took a lot of time to follow each company's procedures properly. At first I was skeptical that it would reduce the junk but you know, it actually has. I get very little junk mail now. I love it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195595.post-79492277720849240772007-07-23T16:19:00.000-05:002007-07-23T16:19:00.000-05:00I just finished reading "Animal Vegetable Miracle"...I just finished reading "Animal Vegetable Miracle"! I meant to tell you about it when we met last week--it is interesting. Certainly worth reading. I borrowed it from a co-worker or else I would lend it to you...<BR/><BR/>I DO, however, have a copy of Harry Potter you can borrow in a few days when I am done!<BR/><BR/>CourtneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
