We must all begin the work of healing our planet.
Here are some things you can do to begin:
Buy locally grown and produced foods.
Buy organic foods.
Buy products that are Fair Trade Certified.
Wear vintage & recycled clothing.
Look for sustainable fabrics such as organic cotton,
hemp, bamboo and lycocell (tree fiber).
Purchase non-toxic cleaning products. Use natural fiber sponges and cleaning agents that are biodegradable, phosphate-free, chlorine-free, and unscented.
Reduce paper use. Use rags instead of paper towels; cloth napkins instead of paper ones. Buy post-consumer recycled paper and recycle it when you've used it.
Refurbish responsibly. Use water-based or vegetable-based paints, stains, and varnishes. Don't wash paint thinners, household cleaners, oil, or pesticides down the drain or pour them on the ground; use them up, give leftovers to friends or a charity, or dispose at your local toxic waste disposal center.
Repair instead of replace. Reupholster furniture. Resole your shoes.
Replace disposable goods with renewable ones. Buy rechargeable batteries. Use dishes instead of paper plates.
Plant for the planet. Strengthen your garden's resistance to pests by planting resilient plants, by rotating the fruits and vegetables you plant, and by attracting friendly bugs to prey on the pesky ones.
When your appliances aren't on, they're still using electricity. Plug as many of your electronic appliances as possible into a power strip, and turn off the power strip when not in use.

I don't see much TV anymore (it generally annoys the beegeezuz outta me), but I have always been a Trekkie, and love Dr. WHO (I met Jon Pertwee!)... most other sci fi programs, including Space 1999, Firefly, and Battlestar Galactica... and I always seem to park it on the educational channels when all else fails... but I've made time this season for Prisonbreak, 24, House, Bones, Lost, Smallville, and Supernatural.

I will light the match of smiles. My gloom veil will disappear. I shall behold my soul in the light of my smiles, hidden behind the accumulated darkness of ages. When I find myself, I shall race through all hearts with the torch of my soul-smiles. My heart will smile first, then my eyes and my face. Every body-part will shine in the light of smiles.
I will run amid the thickets of melancholy hearts and make a bonfire of all sorrows. I am the irresistible fire of smiles. I will fan myself with the breeze of God-joy and blaze my way through the darkness of all minds. My smiles will convey His smiles and whoever meets me will catch a whiff of my divine joy. I will carry fragrant purifying torches of smiles for all hearts.
~ Paramahansa Yogananda ~
