How green is your school, office, or home?
Sponsored by One Million Acts of Green brought to you by Cisco.

My daughter and I have recycled for years, but recently she has been reading a lot and studying up on ways to do more. So, we have bought us several reusable bags, for grocery shopping- and we no longer use the store bags. We have started using cleaners in our home that are "Green" cleaners, We have new reusable water bottles, that hold 20 ounces each, we fill these when we go out for a walk/ jog and this helps. We reuse plastic containers from the store, the come in handy for storing rubber-bands, paper clips, loose change, etc. You can even save yogurt cups and start seeds in them, and get your garden off to a start in the house, we did that this year- yogurt cups are just the right size for this. We are growing some tomatoes, basil, parsley, and sunflowers this year- We'll have to work out a built up garden space for more things next year, since we live in a townhouse. We buy locally grown produce from a neighbor across the road from us and at local Farmer's Markets, I think we should all do that or try to grow some of our own produce. My sister and I call each other and try to arrange to go places at the same time,

so we can go together, that way we are saving gas. We usually cook enough dinner at night that we'll have enough for the next days lunch, so that cuts down on electricity. And we use those compact Flourescent spiral energy saving light bulbs all through the house now. We keep the lights off during the day, keep the air filter in the house changed once a month, and all of us turn the water off while we are brushing our teeth, until we're ready to rinse

We also use a water saving shower-head in the shower to cut down on water use & have water saving toilets LOL!!!

There's probably more, but it's getting late and I'm going to turn in for the night.

Have a great weekend everyone!

What are you most looking forward to this week? What are you least looking forward to?

My nephew is having his "Christmas Music Show", tonight at 7pm at his school. I am going to have my daughter drive me, and we are going to go see it. I am looking forward to seeing him perform in the show tonight.

I am least looking forward to - still getting adjusted to my new medications, and having to force myself

get up and get out of the house at this point, it's still a struggle- but- I'm doing it.

What do you see yourself doing on this day next year?

Which color do you think best represents you and why?
Submitted by hocuspocus88.

Green, because it's my favorite color- and I think it is has a peaceful and calm effect on people- and that is how I

am with people, especially, those that I take care of.

While walking in a winter wonderland can be fun in theory, it makes shopping a big of a drag. Do you plan on doing your holiday shopping online or in-stores this season? Why?

In stores, because it's so much more fun- my daughter & sisters & I usually go together, and we take our time enjoying the malls, have coffee while we're there & make it a fun and enjoyable time that we spend together.

What's your favorite thing to eat for Sunday breakfast/brunch?

What would you attempt to do if you knew you wouldn't fail?
Submitted by Beautifully Broken

I've always wanted to open a coffee shop/book store that had tables where people could sit and read, play chess, play backgammon, play checkers all while enjoying specialty coffees and relaxing.

I also want to serve desserts, such as muffins, pie, and cake also.

I would also serve all kinds of smoothies in all kinds of flavors for non-coffee drinkers, Hot chocolate, &

iced tea- sweetened, and unsweetened.Of course we'd offer hot apple cider, too.

I would like to have internet access at each table for those who would like to bring their Laptops in with them to use, while they enjoyed their coffee and dessert.
