Yes, it's Earth Day. In honor of the day I am wearing about 75% cotton. The percentage would be higher but my shoes and stretchy undergarments skew the average. Outer clothing, sans shoes, I would score a solid 95% OK, moving on... to really help celebrate I should ride my bicycle to work. I only live 2 miles from library. BUT... it is nearly dark when I come home. I suppose if I were squashed by a passing vehicle on my ride home, I would be mostly biodegradable, except, of course for the shoes and stretchy underwear... I'll not ride the bike. I will drive the Honda Civic SI though, which gets over 30 MPG. I've already turned off all the lights around the house because it is 9:30 A.M. and the sun is quite bright today. We will probably have the air conditioning on at library today, so we get minus points for that bit. Last night before closing, I made a display of books about how to live "green" and "green up your lifestyle." For good measure I also displayed a book about living Organically. We just recently acquired new books on the subject of "green" living. That is good since previous to that we had precious few. I personally recycle everything I can in the area of the USA we live in. The four of us who live here usually only produce a single garbage bin (average sized) of trash per week. I think that is pretty good. We reuse everything we can. I'm thinking of purchasing canvas shopping bags for the grocery shopping. I'm really trying. Are you?

I'm glad you do so much, and that if you get squashed by a car you'd be mostly biodegradable! Woohoo!
