Save energy by using light filtering blinds,pleated shades

'Go Green! 'we promote a sustainable,healthy,ethical,socially conscious lifestyle causing the least harm to our planet,others.

Can still see out and yet can't see in so have your privacy. Blocks glare of sun and keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter as still get the light. The keep in the heat in the winter and keep in the cool,block out the heat in the summer. Yes they are a bit more costly than other blinds ad shades but you save in the long run as not wasting energy,heat and air conditioning,fans and electricity. yeh. See blinds,shades here.

Got brown man-made flat..

It pays to live green!

'Go Green! 'we promote a sustainable,healthy,ethical,socially conscious lifestyle causing the least harm to our planet,others.

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.

Or how about washing your clothes and then you and then your bathroom Makes a great dishwashing liquid or even a mouth wash! It's concentrated so a little goes a long way too. Can add some water with it to an empty smaller bottle and shake it up and voila have a liquid hand soap. More on castile soap here.

Am enjoying my basil plant for when have pasta and tomato sauce as put sprigs of basil in dish,mm.

All plastic including bags for trash.bottles,etc. need...

'Go Green!'

to be made from recyclable material and biodegradeable so are kind to land fills and planet.  Aerosals should be banned. We should use aluminum bottles full of Brita water and home made drinks like ice tea and lemonade from real tea and lemons instead of soda in plastic containers. Should buy Soda stream to make soda home too.Everyone should walk,bike,take public transportation when can instead of when carry a large load like food or clothes shopping and have many people in car. One should use small cars that are hy bids when alone and not carrying alot. Just makes sense and saves money and gas too!

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.

Not sure why any clay litter is made as can't flush it or toss it in the woods like I do with the one from Cat's Pride. Seems like I talk about kitty litter alot but when have 4 cats,is on the brain often. More wiser,healthier kitty litter options here.

Hydrofacking is dangerous...

'Go Green!' I just pray that they do not approve it here in the catskills as I watched a documentary about this called Gasland that won at the Sundance film fest and it was very graphic showing the atrocities of this form of energy. They have literally polluted the lakes and streams with their disgusting runoff and threaten the drinking water in the reservoirs as well as killing wildlife,farm animals and citizens of many states like Kansas,Arkansas,Texas,etc.

Also COARC will provide someone to assist me with maintaining place like a maid or home health aide so don't end up being evicting in the future and homeless as disabilities impede me from keeping place up. They are coming out Monday to access my needs. Section 8,RUPCO will pay 470 toward rent if she let's me stay and fills out forms and let's them come out to inspect. She needs to do what it takes to pass inspection though.

Do electric space heaters save you $$$?!

Earth Day approaching...

'Go Green!'

what will you do to commemorate this important day for us and our planet,including the many species of animals and plants living on it? I am not sure,myself as nothing going on here as a community sadly.  I suppose will just continue to live as green as I can.

Dig up old glass bottles 4 earth day..

'Go Green!'

Did you know that  back in the old days like up til the 1950's, there were no garbage trucks and people used to bury their trash in their back yards in dumps just out of sight like in the woods.  In fact if you take a walk in the woods, you find several old dumps.  Ugh. I've been digging at some of these dumps,up some of the bottles and selling them for money so am helping clean up the earth as these bottles aren't smashed and glass isn't biodegradable. So what will you do for earth day?

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

Yeh! My page rank went up to 3! Finally.


'Go Green!'

Now I need my other blogs to go up as well! My Alexa rank has gone down though as I rarely drop on entrecard anyomore as I have better things to do. 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.
