I have found an online organic store and bought for $200 worth of food, essential oils and hair products. The delivery is supposed to be on the same day...we'll see. The name of the website is organicdirect.com or something like that....This morning, Khalif and myself took the subway to Day Hab. Khalif is the 28 years old mentally disabled young man that I work for. Normally, every morning, Access-a-ride comes to pick us up but this week, I have started taking the subway with him. To be honest, the environment was a concern, but not my first one. I want Khalif to become independent and I want him not to be lazy. Taking the subway was still a good cause for the environment, I know that! I also unplugged the A.C at Khalif's house and the television!!!! God grace! these are good ways to save energy...I just just hope to be able to do more, but I think that the process is very gradual. I would love to become 100% vegetarian b/c meat blocks my chi...(flow of energy) and I do not digest meat pretty well. I usually eat more veggies that meat but when it comes to ordering a burger, I still do it! Next week, I will replace my light bulbs with energy saving ones or environmental friendly ones. I hope they'll work pretty well b/c I do not want to be without light when using the internet or doing my homework.
Right now, to care for the environment, I already recycle my trash, use a lot of organic products like essential oils, hair products, I shop at Whole foods or Trader Joe's when I have $$$$ but really having the awareness about how to treat our environment is what counts first b/c without that, it is impossible to start making the changes needed. Reading Al Gore's book was enlightening!!!! It made me more conscious about the causal relations of our actions and I think that it is time for me to put some of the reading into action.
Well, that's it for this week....See you next Tuesday!

Very nice post!--see if you can make these entries "bloggier" (add links/images/videos to the entries).
Great! I feel the same way about heat waves is getting out of control . It's time to wake up and doing something about it. Go Green !
I like the comparison between Canyon and the cell phone charger. Go Green !
