And 3rd, put the lid on the pan so that it boils quicker

It’s amazing how many people still waste gas by using the wrong size pan on the wrong burner.

Great post! I think the media (and regular peeps like you and I) need to push the candidates to address more Green issues during their campaigning. Clearly, I’m taking a page out of Al Gore’s book here, but it’s true: the future of our planet is no distant second to the economy and war in Iraq - they’re all topline issues.

OK, off soapbox now…

Hey Allen!

Yeah - the composter is on the list for sure. I’m angling for a self-rotating composter for Christmas this year, we’ll see. I guess I was just disappointed to find out the cold hard facts behind biodegradable items. BUT, once we a composter in place, we’ll be able to start throwing some of those items in with our compostables. Well, except for the doggy-doo-doo bags!!!

So why not compost the leaves? Leaf compost is awesome mulch: will save water, add nutrients to your soil, protect against the cold winter. You guys have room, maybe you could build a box out of 4×4s and chicken wire. Then you don’t need the bags, even. Just pile em in a big trashcan, shove the weed wacker in there for a few secs and voila: your leaves are now helping make your yard nicer.

I LOVE Gaiam! You don’t know how many times I’ve tried to start using bags like that to shop for groceries though. I ALWAYS forget to take them in and no matter what I do I just can’t remember. Besides, we repurpose the plastic ones for trash bags in the office and bathroom (and for dog poo)… but maybe that’s just an excuse.

I am a big proponent of the reusable shopping bag when at the store. I bought a few of these babies about one year ago. In the cool stores, I get compliments for my chic bags. In the not-cool stores, I get a look from the cashier like, “I really am more comfortable using one plastic bag for every two items you purchase.” I often tell them to “stuff it” - well up to 25 lbs. anyway. I love these so much that I thought I would share on Erin’s web site! Here is where they are and where you can get them: http://www.reusablebags.com/store/acme-bags-workhorse-style-1500-p-1.html
Happy shopping!
