Things to hug
In the latest installment of things you could be hugging (e.g., trees, your local Ben and Jerry’s ice-cream artiste), how about hugging Mother Earth on Friday? Of course, we all know that every day is Earth Day, but here are a few suggestions for things to do.
How about taking the footprint quiz over at Earthday.net? Ever a sucker for punishment, I do this every year, and every year they tell me that if everyone lived like me, we’d need 6 planets.
How about evaluating your trash needs? Thanks to Seattle’s mandatory recycling rule I’ve moved down one trashcan size, which will end up saving me almost a hundred bucks a year. Be kind to the Earth and it will be kind to your wallet.
What do you do with all that free moolah? How about taking an organic holiday? With organic guesthouses in Clinton, La Conner, Olympia and Bainbridge Island, it’s a quick getaway on a sunny spring weekend.
Can’t afford to get away that long? Need an excuse to go to a beach anyway? The grass roots garbage gang could sure use your help this weekend to clean up their 30 miles of Peninsula. Just imagine, hugging a loved one, watching the sun set, and dragging a huge bag of garbage behind you. What could be better than that?

Great post Skye. Excellent things to think about! It can be confusing for those that live ‘in the city’ to decide the most efficient way to recycle.
