Today has been designated "Blog Action Day" by an international group of bloggers concerned about the environment. Their website is:

There is a video clip on youtube with some words to say about this movement:

And quite a few bloggers who are art quiltmakers are following the trend. Terri Grant in Portland, OR, has posted a list of blog addresses on her blog:

As for me....
Other than driving wherever I want to go, I make an effort to do my share. I recycle everything I possibly can, so much so that I have only a tiny bag of 'garbage' on trash day and I usually put it in one of my neighbors' overflowing garbage cans. One less stop for the huge, gas guzzling trash truck. I have a reusable bag to take to the market and somehow I remember to take it. Although I have been known to get up to the cashier's line and have to put my basket aside to run out to the van for my reusable bag!! And then get back in line (I think of it as punishment for forgetting). About once a month I take a trip to the toxic drop-off site w/anything that isn't supposed to go in the garbage. That includes a sealed container of discarded pins and needles so workers in the landfills are not exposed to random punctures.
I do what I can and hope that all of you will also.
