Brave New Leaf reminds us to plan for Earth Hour this Saturday.

Frugal Dad has a great post on making a square foot garden.

Petite Planet found a great alternative to plastic teething rings.

The new Dr. Seuss movie gets a morality rating of 3 due to its eco-friendly message. Yeah. You read that right.

Fake Plastic Fish just saved me from buying a compost tumbler. I think I’m going to go the old fashioned bin route.

Neutral Existence says solar power paint is only 2 1/2 years away.

  1. I really, really need to get a compost bin going, and I’ve been putting it off for a while after my bucket experiment failed. I wonder if I can fashion something out of my kitty litter containers, which come in big buckets.

  2. Oh! I was just reading about worm bins! I think you could totally make a worm bin out of a few of those. http://whatcom.wsu.edu/ag/compost/Easywormbin.htm

Noelle commented in regards to Umbra’s post on fans and air conditioners:

“Query about fans, Allie who always has the answer: I’m fan cooled in my house, I have those window numbers that do both intake and outtake.

I thought I was stumped.

One of the best ways to stay cool is not to let yourself get too hot to begin with.  But Umbra is right about the energy use.  But walking into a house full of hot air is going to totally make anyone lose their cool.  But the energy use. . .

Completely and totally stumped.  Then just before I fell asleep last night, I had an idea.
