We're quickly approaching the holidays . . . some would even say we're already into it with Halloween just past us.  Have you thought about what you can do over the coming couple of months to be good to the environment?  How about this:

1. Step 1

   When you go shopping, whether for groceries or gifts, bring your own bags. Plastic bags often end up endangering birds and paper bags are expensive to produce.

When did you last check out the Environmental Protection Agency's webpage?  Never?  Well, you are seriously missing out!  They have an entire section on living green and how to make a positive impact on your environment . . . check it out!  http://www.epa.gov/epahome/citizen.htm

My co-worker and I noticed we were using a ton of disposable cups by pouring canned beverages from the can into a cup before drinking it!  How silly is that!?  We always recycle the can but we're just creating more trash by putting it into a new container when the can was designed to have someone drink out of it!  Now we just wash off the top of the can (because you just never know what has crawled/run across the top of it) and then drink from the can.  One less cup in the trash every time we do it!!  It's awesome AND simple!

A while back I read an article about Justin Timberlake.  Fabulous singer, dancer and writer, restaurant(s) owner and now golf course owner!  Amazing what that much money will get ya.  And smart decisions.  I'd say one of the smartest decisions he ever made was dumping Britany.  Okay, I'm getting off course..... (hahahaha)

Justin Timberlake's newest venture is an ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY GOLF COURSE in his hometown of Millington, TN.  It is set to open to the public on July 25, 2009.  (Dang it all, I wish my brother-in-law would get a job there.)  The golf course name is Mirimichi which means "place of happy retreat."    JT invested $16 million to make this course E.F.
