Rising Gas Price Are Fine By Me...

I was talking with a nameless family member last week who voiced his dismay over rising gas prices. Although I wanted to tell him he had no one to blame but himself for voting for "W," who has sent our economy into the crapper and is spending billions of dollars on a so-called war - I took the green approach.

"I love rising gas prices," I said.
"What? Are you kidding me?" he said.
"Nope," I said. "Think about what rising gas prices mean. Less Hummers, less yachts; more high-mileage compact cars and more public transportation."

I read a statistic today today saying that Americans drove 11 billion fewer miles in May of 2008 when compared to the same month last year. 11 billion fewer miles! And all because of rising fuel costs.

You know, the little things we do each day - composting, using canvas shopping bags and reusable coffee cups - help. But really, we need big changes.

An Intro to the gDiaper

So one of my good work buddies, Jackie, is pregnant with twin girls! She's due in a couple of months and is having the moral dilemna of sending thousands of diapers to the landfill. Although I've never used the gDiaper (since I don't have kids), I've heard others rave about it.

The concept is simple - gDiapers consist of a washable, cotton outer layer and a plastic-free flushable insert. The outer layer is made of washable material, and the inner layer can be flushed down the toilet.
