Eco-Rehab!

If you haven’t already seen this video, check it out. It’s from Blue Egg media, “a company encouraging sustainable living without the guilt.” The first episode features a typical Hollywood celebutante as she lets her greed spin out of control, littering everywhere and hitting the bottle — the plastic water bottle. Hysterical!

odd couple

This past month I’ve been lucky enough to have a friend staying with me, sharing my 800 square feet of condo space and helping to minimize my ecological footprint — if we both want a smoothie in the morning, we’ll take turns sipping from the same cup (the one we used to blend it up); if we’re bored, we can play Scrabble together (and I can be a sore loser); and best of all, we’re currently getting much better use out of my wireless Internet connection, book collection and closet space.

As hippies know, living with a group of people in a shared space is far more efficient than living alone. Even just two is better than one. So although I can’t keep my housemate for the rest of this challenge, I will be inviting more people to come visit and, if they want, stay for a while.

P.S. Happy birthday, Emma!
