Eco Recap 9.2.10

by nan on 2010/09/02 · 0 comments

Cool, cool morning of 43 degrees! The days are still in the mid-80s – good thing… There was lots of fun news this week! Follow me on Twitter and Facebook to read the stuff I didn’t have room for!

> I love my bicycle! I’d like to live where I could ride year round, but for now, I’d be content to move into town so I could run errands on it instead of using the car. Bikes are becoming very popular for practical use and good health.

> I grew up outside of New York City. The Empire State Building was a fascinating and grounding element for me as a kid. The architecture was incredible, and its status as the tallest building in NY was almost god-like. Remember, I was really little! I was not happy when the twin towers were built and took away that status, and I had this sick sense of joy when the Empire State Building’s rivals fell. This building was a big part of my childhood, especially since we scaled its stairs to and from the observation deck more than once. Now this favorite building of mine is undergoing a major green retrofit. Yay.

> I am anti-stuff. Anti-unnecessary stuff, to be more precise. I am horrified at the storage units that keep getting built. How much unused stuff do we have?! Get rid of it! But if you can’t, here are 10 eco-friendly ways to store it.

> Mmmmm…. ice cream…. I guess I won’t be buying Ben & Jerry’s anymore!

> If I had to live in a city, it would be San Francisco. I fell in love with it as a kid and visited several times as an adult. It’s on my radar for a visit or maybe a move in the near future. San Francisco is a progressive city, and they are working hard to be as eco-friendly as possible as quickly as possible. One more reason to love it.

Look deep into nature and then you will understand everything better.
