In the past two years of serving on this book award committee I have read enough environmental nonfiction to convince me that we are bad, bad people who are killing the planet.
So, I have been making a conscious effort to start taking baby steps toward living in a more environmentally responsible way. To help me with this I have been reading several environmental blogs and have signed up for several newsletters. The Sierra Club http://sierraclub.typepad.com/ puts out a newsletter/blog that you can either subscribe to or do as an RSS feed. Yesterday, the tip was something I can do on my cell phone (now permanently attached to me) and since I thought it was interesting I decided to share.
Be an informed eater: If you're torn between the trout and the halibut, text 30644 with the message "FISH" and the type you're considering to learn which is the more sustainable choice (fishphone.org).

Being green can get addictive. I went on a environmental retreat and just pledged to recycle my aluminum cans (I was a terrible soda-drinker at the time.) No we religiously (and I mean that word almost literally) recycle paper, plastic, cardboard and glass. My town does not have curbside recycle, so we have to haul it a little way, but hey, we're doing our little bit to help, I hope. Thanks for the tip on this service.
