FW: Living Green/Saving Green, October-Subscribe

[Guest guest]

I strongly suggest subscribing to this email. I am eligible to be sent a

free 2009 Chinook Book as I am already d to this email and am

forwarding it to 8 people

In future months I am told they will have this offer again. To

use link below. Plus this email contains coupons! I know many of you use

Madison Market. I purposely avoided sending this email to anyone that I

know/thought to be on the RAW WASHINGTON email group as they will get this

since I sent it to the group. Please do the same. Thanks!

 

If you would like to to this email,

 

FYI, I bought 25 Chinook Books in 2008! Don't feel every coupon has to be

used! The PCC, Madison Market, and Whole Foods coupons (each one alone, not

all) pay for the cost of the book!

Sustainability Journal: Week 1! The first home energy

entry.

Personal behavior change is so subtle you don't see it

happening, and can forget how far you've come. There are thousands of tips

for reducing your impact and living the green and good life, but realizing

which you are really doing and what that means can be difficult to pin down.

Your efforts deserve to be recognized, monitored, and charted over time.

We'll even throw in some reader prizes eventually, too!

 

a.. Top action for homeowners to save energy and money

b.. Zero Footprint Seattle

c.. Seattle City Light Home Audit Kit

d.. Links to your utilities for energy tips and tools

Green to the last bite...of zucchini. Tempura-Battered

Zucchini Blossoms.

Around the end of summertime, gardeners start playing

jokes on one another. Neighbors donate apples to each other, and receive

their produce back in the shapes of homemade pies or crumbles. Baskets of

free tomatoes grace office tables, and Craigslist posts about excess pears

abound. The best way to get rid of extra fruit and veg that I've heard of,

though, involves zucchini: put them on your neighbor's porch, ring the

doorbell, and run.

 

 

I didn't know you could recycle that!

Even though it is not one of my favorite things to do,

it's become sort of a hobby to reach into the garbage and pull out something

that should have been placed in the recycle bin. I find myself saying to no

one in particular, " Didn't you know this liquid soap bottle is made out of

low-density polyethylene #4? Hello! Even curbside recycling takes that! "
