Average Jane — Interesting program! Was there no glass recycling program in place before?

Thanks for the hopeful links, Scott and Pascal :)

Robert — Green City on a Blue Lake’s a great slogan :)

Anne — Why are you a slave to your car during the day? Any way I can help unslave you? :)

Hahaha! Sounds like Morford is to you what Colbert on my laptop over breakfast is for me. I’m getting my MSW (social work) so I really need to laugh it off sometimes, too.

Really funny post! Thanks for giving us the head’s up.

I’ve noticed more people on bicycles recently, which is awesome! Plus I just moved closer to downtown Culver City. While I’m still a slave to my car during the day, I can’t wait to walk to the theatres, restaurants and Farmers Market. Plus I hope to influence my new roomie on making green choices!

Thanks for the laugh, I will have to find this article! The comments about Obama cracked me up the most! I did put my first political bumper sticker on our car for him-I read in a poll after the election that the most popular figure in history was Obama, followed by Jesus….

I live in Ohio and you just can’t take life that seriously when you live here, or you would never stop being angry. I have high hopes for Cleveland being the Green City on a Blue Lake, and we are gonna make big strides in 2010-or else!

I try to look on the bright side of green life instead of freaking out over the newest danger science has discovered. We’ll fix that new danger but it’s not going to take overnight. The skies of London are longer filled with air pollution that we called “fog”.

I get excited when I buy a couple of items in the store and the clerk asks, “you don’t need a bag do you?” Most of the time that happens it isn’t in a store that sells green/organic good.

I count my blessings frequently. I don’t complain about petty shit when I realize that other people have it much worse.

Oh, I forgot to add a thank you to you Siel for a great article. I believe we have a lot to be hopeful about. Thank you for highlighting a bit of it.

I get super excited when I see someone pick up a piece of litter off the ground and put it in their bag or car to recycle later. Silly, I know but I find it terribly encouraging. Also, when people who would never have cared start (sincerely) asking how they can greener. Finally, at the great reforestation works around the work. I have become real fond of http://www.edenprojects.org/ and http://www.plantwithpurpose.org/
