Vanity Fair Green Issue

Inside Vanity Fair's current "green" issue is a list of 50 ways to help save the planet. Here is a synopsis of some of them:
. switch to compact flourescent lightbulbs
. ditch plastic bags - use biodegrable or reusable cloth
. do not wash/rinse dishes before putting them in the dishwasher
. recylce glass - glass produced from recycled glass reduces air and water pollution
. buy appliances with Energy Star certification
. use your dryer less - and keep the dryers lint filter clean
. eat vegetarian one day per week
. drink shade-grown coffee

See Vanity Fair's green issue this month for more of the list and other good information.

If we all start changing our habits now maybe we can reverse global warming and environmental decline.
