Taking Action

Again in the spirit of construction action here is a great resource from the Oregon Environmental Council called "Love Your River." Check out the site, find out what you can do, take a little pledge, enter a drawing for cool stuff. This month features a drawing for a set of REI bike panniers (luggage for your bike, in case your curious). These are nifty enough that they might even get me off my sorry duff in the event I win them. No time like the fall to take up an outdoor sport, eh?

Perhaps it's the weather...

In a perhaps vain attempt to get myself out of the end-of-summer, change-to-grey-and -cold funk, I forward the following in the spirit of "Let's find something constructive to do."

The Washington State Department of Ecology has a new video posted to its YouTube site.

You can check it out at http://www.youtube.com/ecologywa

The message is using alternatives to toxic household cleaners. The format is an infomercial spoof.

Enjoy!
