eco umbrellas for spring 08

Love the rain but hate getting wet? Grab a green bumper shoot and go for a lovely stroll instead of darting frantically from one awning to the next.

That’s funny I just bought one of those totes umbrellas. It worked great in the rain the other day. I got the green colored one and thought the price was reasonable!

Hey thanks for the great blog, I love this stuff. I don’t usually do much for Earth Day but with everyone going green these days, I thought I’d try to do my part.

I am trying to find easy, simple things I can do to help stop global warming (I don’t plan on buying a hybrid). Has anyone seen that http://www.EarthLab.com is promoting their Earth Day (month) challenge, with the goal to get 1 million people to take their carbon footprint test in April?… I took the test, it was easy and only took me about 2 minutes and I am planning on lowering my score with some of their tips.

I am looking for more easy fun stuff to do. If you know of any other sites worth my time let me know.
