For many years I have been anti-plastic bag - not only do I carry my own trendy re-usable bags, but I also annoy shoppers by showing them off and suggesting they also become... 'Bag-ist'! Organizations like conservingnow.com are successfully and quite rightly making plastic bag users feel very naughty!

We have all heard about the devastating effects on our planet from plastic bag waste. Now there is help! ConservingNow.com has taken my passion for recycling and reusing into an incredible website. You can learn about green living, buy unique reminder products and find the tools to teach your friends and family to say good bye plastic bags and hello going green. If you look at one website today (besides mine!!) make it ConservingNow.com!

As its back to school time, and I have already begun to notice the number of people idling their cars. This is a terrible practice for the environment and has no benefit for your car. Modern cars are built in such a way that they do not need to idle. It is not hard on the engine to turn your car on and off. It does not save gas to idle. Here's a great rule of thumb: "The recommendation is: If you are going to be parked for more than 30 seconds, turn off the engine. Ten seconds of idling can use more fuel than turning off the engine and restarting it. And when you start your engine, don't step down on the accelerator, just simply turn the key to start."
If you are interested, here is a great site about the myths of idling your car: http://www.consumerenergycenter.org/myths/idling.html.
