All food should be taxed so containers are recycled

'Go Green! 'we promote a sustainable, healthy, ethical, socially conscious lifestyle causing the least harm to our planet,others. This would greatly lesson what ends up in trash and land fills if we were made compostable it. All trash cans should be heat activated so biodegrade trash. Should contain separate holes for glass, plastic, metal so just trash goes in can. Compost bins where people could dump their organic waste like veggies and fruits should frequent towns too. Everyone is effected byclimate change and harmful effects to our planet. All should get on board now. People can get money back when return containers. Is an incentive. Also increases mney for people good if trolling for cans and bottles to return for cash too! Will save if pay for garbage pickup or dumping as less visits needed. Win, win!

fresh veggies, chicken, seasonings. Really came out good, tasty(and healthy, cheap to make, green too!)! I used some shallots, fresh string beans, carrots, celery from food pantry, left over broccoli, beans from Chinese takeout the other night, potatoes. Added soy sauce, Italian spices, bread crumbs, and a scoop of peanut butter for a tasty sauce.  yum.

see link here to see what I mean. Yes if  you haul away other people's trash, you can get money for that stuff at your local dump. Yes for things like appliances which are metal and weigh a lot as paid for it by weight. Electronics is another as can go to eco atms and get cash for let's say cell phones or can be very kind and donate them overseas to our service men. learn more on how to make $$$ off of trash here.

killing a real one for a month holiday season. go green guys!

Use window and oscillating fans instead of air conditioner this summer and..

'Go Green!'

live greener as save energy and money too. Also kinder on the joints of self and your furry friends too. MInimize car use as much as possible in favor of walking and biking and go to farmer's markets for produce to support the local farmer,local economy instead of buying oranges from florida and so on..Grow your own garden and veggies preferably organically. Am enjoying my basil plant for when have pasta and tomato sauce as put sprigs of basil in dish,mm.

A greener,easier way of using coupons is..

'Go Green!'

scanning them with our cell phones and then getting coupons off them at cash register. This way minimize paper used and don't have to cut coupons either,saving time which is money for many of us too as why get paid by the hour. What you think? How much is your time really worth? Many of us don't buy news papers anymore but read news online so why should we miss out on saving with coupons?!? Should be able to scan cell phone on buses,trains like do with EZpass over bridges at toll booths in car. Can take money right out of bank account if debit/credit card on record. This way don't have to carry cash,go scrounging for change. Should be able to scan card everywhere,like at laundry mat in washer/dryer. Could eliminate having to cut currency anymore as would have no use for it. I believe cell phones have and are replacing computers,definitely the large desk top ones used to have to sit at desk to use. Even laptops are becoming obsolete for tablets and mini ones.

Download music,videos instead of..

'Go Green!'

buying them and save the planet by not wasting materials and polluting landfills. Also best to email instead of mail,wear yard sale,thrift store finds instead of new,cheaper too.. Uh, what else?!? Make your own coffee instead of buying it out and using cups outside,use brita filtered water bottle and stop buying plastic containers out,filling up landfills filled to exhaustion already,compost your veggies and other organic waste instead of throwing in trash,along with your leaves,use your trimmed hedges for firewood,read the newspaper online instead of buying it,clip coupons online too by printing them,watch tv,use phone online,use free wifi so don't waste by having to install cable,phone lines. What am telling you is cheaper too so money save can go on vacation somewhere camping though,not in hotels. Use youth hostels or elder ones,stay at Y and student dorm rooms which are empty duriing the summer,peak travel,vacation time. Basically folks,use your har earned money wisely so can make a donation to a charity of choice,do something nice from your heart for someone in need or whatever. Capiche? Understand? Don't be like these nouveauriche,boughvois types see on Housewives shows who are new to money and waste it. Also don't act like them,always fighting,so unbecoming. Be kind,have a good attitude,be smart and an example to others,especially your children,and youth who are our future. Beauty is an inside job and if you have a terrible personality noone wants to be near you no matter how wealthy you are. Also wealth is relative as can live well on little if use your brain as I show you time and again.

Happy Earth Day, again...

'Go Green!'

What have we learned, if anything? Are things any better for our planet and inevitably us who live on it?! Saw a documentary about this topic called 'Earth Days' on PBS. We have surprisingly been celebrating Earth day now for 40 years! I didn't know this. at first it started as a grassroots hippie phenomenon with the largest demonstration in NYC whcih brought thousands of interested people in 1970. With the Republican administrations things went south fast after Carter, for our planet whcih is not surprising as republicans have had a long history of bineg disinterested in our environment.

What are your thoughts? What will you do Thursday in honor of Earth Day? Last year I taught a class at the library and I attended a Green fair in Rhinebeck. I make beer bottle cap jewelry as you know and usually do a class. I ran a class at the nursing home in New Rochelle, Ny. My mom is currently in which is why have been scarce here, sorry. She has not been doing well. Prayers Welcomed and again, "Happy Earth Day All!". :) -Ann

In my opinion, I shouldn't have to influence people to read or visit my blog. If they like it they will come. All I need to do is make a nice page that is user freindly and make sure it is well advertised so people hear of it and then the fact it is interesting to others as well as my self and useful and fun will be enough.
