Went to the BTC elements store; if I bought anything from there I would be shopping in the buff; do you think because we are trying to go green we have money to pay $125 for a pair of jeans. I work everyday plus 1/2 day on Saturday and do not have that type of money to pay for jeans; $26 is my price range. Am I the only person on this earth who doesn't have tons of money; seems like everyone shows these stores with outrageous price tags on their clothes. I am just a everyday individual... maybe this is the wrong newsletter for me. I want to help go green but not if I have to spend tons of money I don't have. Maria

just wanted to share the idea of offering things other than gifts to each other. Not all of us have $$ to spend and maybe we really should be thinking of other ways to connect to each other, in the real sense of GIVING. Here is a wonderful letter from No-Impact Man's website: http://noimpactman.typepad.com/blog/2007/11/the-no-impact-d.html Here also are some wonderful words by Gerald Iverson, National Coordinator for Alternatives for Simple Living: http://blip.tv/file/495735 Here's to a blessed, love-filled holiday with something deeper than trappings. julie www.YERT.com

Maria-you are NOT the only one who does not have a ton of cash. There are a lot of ordinary people who read this newsletter & who want to go green. We also have to be able to afford the mortgage/rent, utilities, groceries etc. I like a lot of the tips in this newsletter but it needs to be aimed at people who earn less than the $80,000 that is mentioned in the press release. A lot less( half or less). We care about the environment,too. We just don't earn as much.:-)

Sorry, but I will ALWAYS need to turn on the heat this time of year regardless of what I'm wearing because I'm just a darned icicle in the fall and winter, and living in New England certainly doesn't help matters in that regard! BTW, I can understand how "Green Tuesday" is an alternative to "Black Friday," but how is it an alternative to "Cyber Monday"? Whether it's "Cyber Monday" or "Green Tuesday," you're STILL shopping online.

A bottom up approach to saving the earth will never work - we need to force companies to use organics, force them to use recycled materials, force them to use green energy. Only that will bring the prices down to where ordinary individuals can truly afford to go all green. The burden of change should not be shouldered by individuals - but individuals CAN force big change through pushing for legislation that actually matters.

Error in my comment this morning: Chlorox paid $925 million for Burt's Bees. I'm pleased to see so many thoughtful comments on this post.

I agree with Julie, reducing consumption is best! And supporting local economies by purchasing sustainable goods is the next best thing. Jenn, there are a handful of companies, such as miessence, that are making certified organic products, using green energy, and offsetting the emissions from transporting their goods, and we should support them where we can if we are buying anything that's not local (and most of us still are). miessence has certified organic products in a variety of price ranges, from $7.95 upwards: https://anniesorganics.mionegroup.com:443/category/3 If you want to find out more about what miessence is doing for the environment, contact me at: https://anniesorganics.mionegroup.com:443/contacts All the best, Annie Independent Representative of ONE Group, makers of miessence, the world's first comprehensive range of certified organic skin, hair, cosmetic, health and personal care products.

Another great place to shop online is abe.com advanced book exchange.....pretty much every book you can think of, but second hand, great prices and good shipping rates from book dealers all over the place. Great for textbooks as well. I saved a tonne of money and didnt buy new, when I bought all of my books for my yoga teacher training course at this site. I highly recommend it.

Actually, the City of Denver did NOT produce the new Local Flavor Guides. There are two organizations whose purpose is to support local business who teamed up to produce them. * The Mile High Business Alliance is building a stronger local business community. http://www.MileHighBiz.org * Local Flavor Marketing Group works exclusively with locally-owned businesses to better leverage their marketing dollars. http://www.LocalFlavorMarketingGroup.com MHBA is part of a national re-localization effort to build stronger local economies. Check out http://www.LivingEconomies.org to join or start a network near you. Thanks for noticing the guides! They just came out this week, and have been a great launchpad for our "Buy Local Week" campaign that the Denver Mayor has supported with his official proclamation.
