		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s an interesting comment I just stumbled across on the Internet recently: &#8220;Carbon offsets&#8221; have for some time now seemed to me to be the same as &#8220;Rape credits&#8221;. Someone like Al Gore guzzles up huge amounts of energy, with resultant huge carbon emissions, for just one individual, but buys &#8220;carbon offsets&#8221; from some outfit, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So what is worse for the environment? Amazon.com&#8217;s Kindle e-book reader, which ends up creating e-waste when all is said and done? Or paper books, which obviously use up a heck of a lot of paper? I&#8217;m not entirely certain an electronic book reader is all that much better than paper books environmentally speaking. I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve avoided bleach for sometime, but there are certain things that it&#8217;s just best for, such as whitening a stained white shirt, or cleaning up dirty grout in the bathtub. Was I bad for wanting a bottle of bleach? There&#8217;s a lot of massive anti-bleach hype on the Internet, but is it really that bad? [...]]]></description>

As much as I love computers, I have never been able to deal with electronic to-do lists. My Hipster PDA fits into my purse and I use it to write random notes, to-dos, and ideas for my business.

With 6 billion people on the planet and growing, we need to start looking at voluntary humane ways of keeping the population down. If we don&#8217;t, mother nature will do it for us in the form of [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ll add one more plus to digital: Not only do you save the environment by not developing so much film, you cut back on clutter. I have an entire box [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, I realize it is a bit ridiculous that I live by myself and own three television sets. To be fair, however, they are older sets, the big heavy behemoths of yesteryear: two 27&#8243; screens and an old 13&#8243; TV with a VCR built in. The 13&#8243; was being thrown out by a roommate years ago, which seemed like a waste, so I snagged it. It&#8217;s now in my office near my computer. The second [...]]]></description>

(You must be careful, however, to not buy bulk items that you don&#8217;t really need.)
