President Obama {yay! Four more years!} mentioned global warming in his acceptance speech last night, and immediately I saw my Twitter feed light up with excitement from all my greeny friends- cries for the government to finally take notice and action on this serious issue. I hope that Barry’s second term succeeds in being more aggressive on matters of protecting and restoring the environment, but regardless, we all need to keep doing what we can on a micro scale, everyday.

This couple is making a difference in a really beautiful way. I would love a couple of their colorful prints for my walls- as a reminder to not let my life be consumed by “stuff” but to value what is really important, to continue working hard to find new uses for old things even though it’s so much easier to just go buy what I need, and to think hard about things before tossing them in the trash.
