His name is Paul and he has been a big part of getting me to think more Green. He is passionate about making a difference and he has even started an environmental group at his school. He is the one who made me watch "An Inconvenient Truth," Al Gore's documentary about Global Warming, in fact, I borrowed HIS copy of the movie! He's just an amazing kid.
I tell you this because I'm really proud to say that now I have been able to give a little something back to his cause...I guess he is reading my blog now and his mother tells me that it has sparked an interest to do even more at school. He read the post about plastic bag recycling, and now he's working to get it set up through his environmental group.
I'm so excited that he's reading my blog (as you know, I get excited when anyone is reading my blog...I'm silly, I know!)...I'm even more excited to know that people care when I get on my Green Soap Box. Sometimes I feel like it might come off kinda preachy or well, soap-boxy...to some people, but I have heard from others of you who also appreciate the info. (If I do get preachy, let me know. That's the last thing I want to do! I really just want to make some sort of impact.)
So whenever I find something, I guess I'll keep sharing it...Maybe I can make a difference in some small way...and Paul, if you're reading this, you ROCK! Keep it up! And thank you!
P.S. Visit KARE11.com for their segments on "Earth KARE" They are pretty interesting and give info on how to reduce your junk mail, what plastic can be recycled and why, and more!

And if you want to know ways to help Animals there's a link on Rachel Ray's website to WWF (World Wildlife, not wrestling!) She had an episode on purchasing fish that was caught "responsibly" meaning it wasn't done in an over fished area to prevent killing the population.
Oh yes and then there are cloth diapers:) Very environmentally friendly:)
Yikes, we don't have to do everything at once, do we? Baby steps! There are more environmentally friendly disposables too.
