I do think being green is important. Is that on my list of reasons why I ride my bike to school? And I think that a tanking economy does force us to be more green inadvertently by causing us to repurpose some of our goods or put off buying new stuff if our old stuff can last a little longer.
I’ve always admired my friend Erin, though, who used to have a green blog (and still leaves it up for people to learn from). Now she’s in the New York Times! Check out the article and the cute picture!
