It feels good to know that visitors to the site are making use of what they find here. A point about the laundry--I have been musing lately on the fact that frequent washing of a garment shortens its life. Not to mention the fact that washer and dryer use contributes to global warming. So I've been taking a closer look at my clothes before throwing them into the laundry. Do they really need washing? Or are they good for one or two more wearings first?

Rachael Carson sounded the alarm about toxic poisoning, and now we have 1 in 150 children autistic, and I believe there is a link. Now, what do I do this afternoon? I am going to have to halve my carbon consumption. I am already getting education through this website, and I am thinking about how I take a train rather than an airplane. I now know not to haul around cargo in my automobile, and when to use air conditioning (only over 40 mph) in my car. Maybe I can bike to work...I'll look for bike trails on my way home. I'm speaking to my family about reducing the amount of laundry we do. I'll get this book. I’m convinced.
