making it alarmingly easy to be green…

I will stick with the theme of thinking about your garden this week-always a nice thing to think about in winter.

Thinking Green:

Think Green: Going out to eat, which is a nice treat to stomp down the winter blues, make your trip out a green one

Suggestions: >eat at a restaurant that uses local produce-?CO2;
eat at an organic restaurant-? the use of -cides (pesticides, etc. whatever you argue about the use of >cides they are still poisons, and the less poisons used the better);
>eat vegitarian-?CO2-raising meat produces more CO2.
All green choices-enjoy time out and feel even happier by making a green choice.
