Quote of the Month
"The next Buddha will not take the form of an individual.
The next Buddha may take the form of a community;
a community practicing understanding and loving kindness,
a community practicing mindful living.
This may be the most important thing we can do for the survival of the
Earth."
-- Thich Nhat Hanh
Green Tip: Recycle CFL Lightbulbs
Home Depot has now joined Ikea in accepting unbroken CFL lightbulbs for recycling,
along with many Household Hazardous Waste collections. Since CFLs contain a tiny bit
of mercury (older incandescent bulbs are far worse: coal fired plants producing electricity
put copious mercury into the atmosphere)
recycling is particularly important. More information at
Consumer Reports Greener Choices article on recycling CFLs.
