my stomach churns at the thought of today's environmental issues. the first experience that i recall about this issue was in the 3rd grade reading a large book with big glossy pages of photographs of the amazon rainforest and its people describing how we are cutting down this rainforest at an alarming rate.
some simple steps that i live by to help the environment:
1. think creatively to drive less and walk more. if driving is necessary consider the bus or carpooling. trains are spectacular. commuting for a generous amount of time is out of date and if you do this, so are you.
2. recycle religiously. plastic, paper, glass, magazines, etc. see to it that your garbage is reduced. if your community does not have a recycling facility, this is archaic.
3. use environment friendly cleaning products; i.e. detergents, soaps, toilet bowl cleaner, etc. water goes into the gray water drain system and cutting back on any chemicals in any water system good. eventually any water cycle finds itself back into our environment. reduce the use of chemicals for cleaning.
4. any task using water should be cut back. time yourself at a task that involves water and the next time you do the task try to beat your time. conserve, think of it as investing, save now for more later. lack of water is a crisis waiting to happen.
5. displace water in your toilet tank by inserting a milk jug full of pebbles.
6. plant something.....anywhere.
7. don't just think of yourself- think of what you want to leave behind.

yesterday was an absolute amazing day for weather in seattle. sun, mountains, water, skyline. now i'm watching 'murder she, wrote' on the hallmark channel and "george" pleads taking the lottery ticket for murder. the main story was really the town sherrif sleeping with the entire small town, including the nurse! parry mason 'case of the glass coffin' (magic) started. today at work i made sale tags with a new format in microsoft office 2003 and sold $2,600.00. yesterday was $11,000.00.

it's the Miss America pageant tonight. i am not a hater but nothing has frustrated me more in pop culture as of late than heather mills. she is a judge tonight on the pageant. i have no idea why anyone would support a woman who married Paul McCartney for 4 years then divorce him and get over 48 million dollars from the ultimate pop star of The Beatles. this pageant is surley tainted- although a new pop star is Christian from Project Runway this year. he'll probably cancel her vote. on another note the news continues to report fear of an economy slump- it's spring, things are coming up roses!

it's snowing right now in seattle, wa! we just had 3 weeks of sun and 2 weeks of rain! now it's snowing? environmental actions are in dire need- it appears we are killing the ozone layer and heating up our world by the pollution- cars are a major culprit. we've known this a very long time- at least 31 years and it's time to get things written into law for people to act!
