Happy Holidays!

Ok so I'm obsessed with saving the earth, and one of the suggestions I saw on TV or www.think.mtv.com (I can't remember which) was to send out ecards instead of regular holiday cards to save paper, so consider this your holiday card from me and Jay! I feel very mixed about regular paper cards -- I kind of like the idea of sending them, but it's money and work that I never feel like spending/doing. Plus I kinda feel like store bought cards are not that important really. If I could make enough by hand that would be cool, but whatever, and the whole paper issue would still be there. Anyway! This holiday card post is to show that Jay and I care about you and your family and hope that all is well with everyone.

Yay having my holiday cards covered! Now, let's talk more about the earth. For most people all the recent ads about doing earth friendly things is good, but for me it adds to my neurosis. I think about how Al Gore says that we have 10 years to change things or we're screwed. Ten years people! Eeek!

So I do things to help save the earth all the time, like turning lights off when we're not in the room and not leaving the water on while I'm brushing my teeth. Actually I've been doing those two things for a LONG time now. My latest thing is making sure stuff is unplugged when we're not using it. I read that cell phone chargers are esp. bad when left plugged in. And I hope to get a hybrid car when I go to buy my next one, but that's a long ways off since I only have like 40,000 miles right now.

Anyhoo, one thing that drives me crazy is that I feel like I'm only canceling the damage that Jay does to the earth cause he always does stuff like leaving lights on or leaving a window open when the heat is on, etc. But I know that he will just be like that forever unfortunately. I like doing things that are easy, but still helpful. I'd like to do more, but I dunno how. So what do you people do to make sure that we're not all living underwater in the future? I like where the coastline is now and I'd like for it to stay there. And ya wonder why I have IBS, ha! I'm always thinking about crazy stuff like this. So yea. Let's all gather round a tree and let it know how much we love it. ;P
