Happy Earth Day

It's Earth Day 2009 and by now everyone has heard the term "Going Green". We've been told that we should recycle items that we are no longer using, reuse items multiple times and reduce our energy consumption to change our "carbon footprint" on the earth. So, in honor of earth day let me take this opportunity to provide a few tips on applying the "three r's" to your life and add a "fourth r" RENEW: 

1: Recycle your old books by passing them on to a friend who loves to read and then tell them to pass on the book when they're done. It would interesting to see where the book ends up.
2: Reuse plastic bags for trash, beach outings or dirty laundry.
3: Reduce your consumption of new goods by recycling or reusing items. You'd be surprised to find out how many items have multiple uses. Use your imagination!
4: Renew your attitude for life with 15 minutes of meditation, prayer or exercise. It will make such a big difference in your perspective and your interactions with others.

I'm sure you have something that you can add to the list. Let me know what you think.....
