		<title>&#8216;Green&#8217; Humor To Lighten Your Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jim Carrey is one of my all-time favorite comedians. I love this video of him, poking fun at environmental issues and advocates. I admittedly resemble some of these scenes, but it&#8217;s also pretty easy for me to laugh at myself. Enjoy!

		<title>David vs Goliath Rulemaking for Fracking in Idaho</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been able to sit in on some of the rulemaking sessions that the Idaho Department of Lands is holding, for natural gas well drilling (fracking). Overall, it&#8217;s felt a lot like David vs Goliath and has been somewhat discouraging.
As I sat there and watched the only one real &#8216;expert&#8217;/spokesperson in the sessions that is truly committed to providing protections for our environment battle, it really was a &#8216;David &#38; Goliath&#8217; scenario. A very knowledgeable, environmental advocate, Justin Hayes from Idaho Conservation League has had some assistance in these ...]]></description>

		<title>Have I Been Living In a Bobble?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, I have not!. But, apparently I may have been living in a bubble or a cave. Today, I just discovered via a Green group post on Linked In, that there is this VERY cool, eco-friendly water bottle called the bobble.
The bobble contains a built-in filter, that filters contaminants out of  tap water. The actual plastic bottle is made from FDA approved recycled PET that is free of BPA,  Phthalates and PVC &#38; is 100% recyclable.
Each bobble filter is intended to filter at least 300 bottles, about 40 gallons ...]]></description>

		<title>Payette Commission Lukewarm To Citizen&#8217;s Concerns Over Fracking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last Thursday,  Payette County&#8217;s Planning &#38; Zoning Commission held a hearing for the approval of  a Conditional Use Permit for a fracking company, Bridge Energy.  The permit would authorize placement of a natural gas compression/dehydration plant for fracking byproducts, to be plopped right in the middle of some prime agriculture land in Payette County, Idaho.
Despite the fact, that the proposed plant processes the fluid and gas byproducts from a fracking operation, the audience was immediately instructed that the issue before the P &#38; Z Commission was only related to a ...]]></description>

		<title>Say &#8216;No&#8217; to Compression Station in Payette County, Idaho</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Who will benefit from a natural gas Compression Station proposed on 13 acres of prime agricultural land in rural New Plymouth? Definitely not the neighboring residents, or even the residents in surrounding communities.
Bridge Resources Corporation of Canada has been drilling natural gas wells in the area and must also build a Compression Station to pipe the drilled gas and residual fluids to. The compression station will be unmanned, and its only activity will be commercial tanker traffic, taking the extracted 80,000 plus gallons of oil and liquid waste to undisclosed ...]]></description>

		<title>A Greener &amp; Cleaner Summer</title>

It was last summer that I wrote this post. I found it interesting that one year later, the information is still spot-on and thus, I continue to share this message to anyone who will listen. I hope it will be beneficial to all of you:
For  those of us who defied the Surgeon General’s warning on the cigarette  package for all those years…. We all know,  how valid the warning was  and still is.
And now,  research has proven that many products that families  are using in our homes around their children ...]]></description>

		<title>Recipe For The Yummiest Summer Salad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, I was at a dinner meeting with some other business women. We were served some scrumptious homemade lasagna and green salad.
I haven&#8217;t been able to get the salad off my mind, and was able to score a copy of the slightly modified, Costco Cookbook recipe from my friend, Tina Biggers.
It was of course, made with a lot of love, so that probably didn&#8217;t hurt. But, I have no doubts that you will totally enjoy this salad for seasons to come, as will I.
Baby Mixed Greens with Apples, Pecans ...]]></description>
