I’m very honored to share with you about a new children’s book that was written by a fellow planet lover. It’s called Loui Saves The Earth and was written by Alexandra Gnoske of Recycle Me Organic Clothing.
I knew about Alexandra’s passion for the planet and her clothing business, but now she’s showing her talent in the writing of childrens books. Alexandra has taken her passion for nature and wildlife and turned it into an inspiring story with a simple message: children can make a difference for Planet Earth. As a …

My colleagues over at SoftwareAdvice.com have recently posted a very interesting article and poll on their website. It addresses the impact that printed receipts have on society’s paper consumption.
I have to be honest. I regularly use printed receipts for posting bank debit transactions to my check register and documenting purchases for tax purposes. And, for me personally, it would be a BIG sacrifice to go paperless! But, I truly feel it all boils down to learning a new behavior and knowing that the end result is worth it.
As stated in …

Are you making environmental and ethical choices in your day-to-day activities?

I was recently contacted by Houston Neal of SoftwareAdvice.com. He wanted to share with me, one of his heartfelt environmental concerns. This involves the production and printing of over 37 million, hard-copy blueprints, every year.
Until, I read Houston’s article on this subject, I didn’t have a clue regarding this topic. It excited me to think just how many more ways there are, to take positive steps, in reducing our carbon footprint.
It also saddened me a bit. This being, because it shows how much abundance this planet has had available to …

I was the voice of many last Saturday night in Boise, when we stood in front of the Idaho State Capital, and voiced our passion for a Real Deal in Copenhagen. Now, a week later, I sit and ponder if our voices were even heard.
Honestly, I don’t know the answers. But, I’m not naive enough, not to know, that there’s a lot of ’special interest’ involved in these discussions and decisions, (or lack thereof). In the meantime, I have to choose to believe that COP 15 was a launching pad …

It’s not a secret that I am a Shaklee Distributor. It’s also not a secret that a lot of folks turn their noses up to Shaklee and MLM’s in general, based on past experiences and a lot of heresay.
So, for those that consider themselves environmentally conscious members of society and would choose to continue to be closed-minded about Shaklee and the notion that companies and people can’t change, then please don’t bother reading any futher. But, to those environmentally conscious members of society that believe in progress, change and the …

I don’t think it’s any secret that I have a passion for environmental stewardship. No act is too small to improve one’s carbon footprint on the planet. Therefore, I am pleased to announce a local Recycling Awareness Event that will be held in my Treasure Valley, Idaho community on November 21, 2009.
Motivated by the AmericaRecyclesDay.org coalition, this grassroots Recycling Awareness event will be held at Silverhawk Realty in Fruitland, Idaho from 10 am to 2 pm. The event will focus on recycling resources in the Payette County area. There will …

Previously, I’ve posted about the environmental importance of phasing out the use of regular incandescent light bulbs and moving to more energy efficient CFL light bulbs. But, as progress marches on, so does the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the LED light bulb.
Initially, an LED (light emitting diode) light, was most commonly a little red light that emitted from different products. It was often the illumination of time, but as time also marches on, so does the LED light bulb.
Now that technology has figured out how to ‘cluster’ the LED’s to …

Celebrating its 12th year, America Recycles Day (ARD), will be on November 15th. It’s a day set aside to better inform people about the importance of recycling and buying recycled products.
I am a staunch supporter of recycling and do a decent job at it personally, but I know that I can do much more. So, I’ve taken the ARD Pledge on the America Recycles Day website to try and ramp up my recycling habits.
It’s a No Brainer, that recycling keeps the landfills from filling up so quickly. But, in addition …
