Mother Earth


Happy Earth Day, Readers! I know you are all excited to reduce, reuse and recycle today.

In a related obsession, I've become a member of freecycle.org. It's AMAZING. Like eBay, only free. Basically people clean out their garages and basement and offer up their goodies for free to others who might be looking for a 10-speed bike or an ice cream maker. I'm convinced that I'm going to find some sort of wonderful find, like a hidden Monet or maybe the Declaration of Independence on the back of four dogs playing poker.

I'd highly recommend it---not only is it free, but you get that warm fuzzy global warrior feeling. Like what Al Gore must feel like all the time. No wonder he gave up on the political gig. He gets to have way more fun doing this.
