President-Elect Obama gets it, what about you?

Sorry it's been awhile I've been busy with a work project, then it was my 20 year high school reunion (yeah I'm old), and then I've been busy gearing up for the holidays. So this is a short post, I just wanted you to know I haven't forgotten about you and Happy Thanksgiving.



President-elect Obama recorded a message for the Global Climate Summit, promising "a new chapter of American leadership on climate change." Learn more at Change.gov.

So what are you gonna do?

Please help!

There are no system currently in place to recycle water filters in the United States. The Clorox Company, the manufacturer for the Brita Water Filter systems, are doing nothing about it. They are the industry leader in the market of "pitcher" filters and 2nd in the market for the filters you attach to the faucet. However they want you to throw out the old filters and let them sit in landfills for millions of years. As you may have read in previous posts I have asked you to stop buying bottled water and use filtered water. Now the lesser of two evils can get better. Please visit the site and and read more about where you can send your old filters, or sign a petition, or just track who is recycling where.

Visit the site, Take Back the Filter

Please sign the petition, send in the old filters, send them to me I'll send them in for you. So I ask now, what are you gonna do?

50 Cent And Bette Midler Team Up To Restore Community Garden

(Wind beneath my wings playing in the background) I had to read this article when I saw the headline. Yes it's true Bette Midler and 50 cent together at last and at the end it was reported that no one had a "cap" in their a**. As I blogged about in a previous post Bette Midler's New York Restoration Project restores community parks and gardens in New York City. But they do it as green as possible. I know how cool is that! So the New York Restoration Project and rapper 50 Cent’s G Unity Foundation got together and collaborated on a park project. On November 3rd the Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson Community Garden in Jamaica Queens had their dedication service. “It’s nice to be able to give back to this next generation of kids,” said 50 Cent. “This is the first of many projects I’m going to do in this community.” I think it's great when celebrities give back to the areas in which they grew up in. I know what you're thinking and I'm thinking the same, I hope they get together and make a few albums out of this. Rappin' Bette Midler.
