Make a Simple Green Resolution and Win!
| Meet the Blogger | More Posts by Betsy Becker Earth Day is Wednesday, April 22. In celebration of our planet's big day, why not take a moment to make a simple green resolution for the coming year?
Here's mine: Bike to work at least once a week.
Full disclosure: The last time I owned a bike, it was a blue Schwinn with a hot pink basket and I was 10. Sadly, I've outgrown that bike. But now, after months of bugging my friends for bike recommendations and visiting all of the bike shops around town, I've narrowed down my choices and am finally ready to invest in an "adult" bike at last. By this Earth Day, I am determined to be a proud bike owner/commuter/road warrior at least once a week. Why not every day? After years of making (and always breaking) grandiose New Year's resolutions, I've learned that the simple, realistic changes are the ones that really last.
Now it's your turn. Tell us one simple green change you're planning to make for Earth Day. Everyone who enters a comment on this post between now and April 30th will be entered to win a $25 Whole Foods Market gift card and a FEED 100 bag. The winner will be announced the first week of May in our Whole Story blog, so stay tuned!
And even if you don't win the prizes, your green resolution efforts will be rewarded with a cleaner, greener, healthier planet for many Earth Days to come. Here's to wishing you and yours a Merry Earth Day and a Happy Earth Year!

When you are trying to charter an apartment, what are the main things they are looking for on your credit history in order for an approval? Are they concerned in all of your credit card invoices and other payments or are they mainly interested with your rental history and bankruptcy backcloth? How do flat building complexes look at your credit when approving you for an apartment?

We have really been looking into solar energy for about a calendar year and as a result the two of us eventually made the decision based mostly on upon the pairing of the governtment incentive programs combined with extremely cost efficient financing. The two of us have actually already been researching into solar power for around a twelve months and as a result the two of us last but not least made the actual commitment based mainly upon the blend of governtment incentive programs coupled with incredibly economical loans. I literally could not imagine how inexpensive everything ended up being and therefore my partner and i have been a new solar household for about one month and consequently almost everything seem as if it all is undoubtedly working out excellent. We are able to actually observe how very much electrical energy my spouse and i aer saving each night and it is simply really amazing. I alway considered that solar power appeared to be backed through a good deal of media hype nevertheless My partner and i can certainly convey to everyone the fact that the product is undoubtedly the authentic deal. We wish we had implemented it a long time ago.

Very sad to think buying full spectrum fluorescent bulbs is your contribution to ecology. They contain mercury and cost more energy to dispose of--not to mention if you drop a bulb the danger--and any neurologist will tell you they cause migraines --even seizures in susceptible people--and some researchrs will tell you they cause retinal damage in susceptible people due to the increased blue spectrum uv's in the full spectrum versus conventional bulbs---the best way to contribute to the saving of our planet is to have less children!!!!!!!!!!!
