		<description><![CDATA[The baby and I were at Babies R&#8217; Us at the Irvine Marketplace the other day and I noticed they&#8217;ve dedicated a small product stand for &#8220;green&#8221; products near the checkout registers. Like a mosquito to a flame, I automatically walked over to ooh and aah at the stuff. Most of the stuff was organic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you seen those commercials from Dixie and Bounty lately? The ones that seem to tell you that you&#8217;re a &#8220;better&#8221; mom by using their disposable products? I was reading through this thread on DiaperSwappers and I&#8217;m glad I&#8217;m not the only one pissed off at the angle these companies are using.
Dixie says you&#8217;re a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just read an article on LATimes.com that just chafed my hide. I believe that everyone has a right to their opinion, even if I think they&#8217;re total crackpots (&#8221;opinions are like assholes&#8230;&#8221;). However, I fail to see the point or benefit of demonizing environmental activism.
In September 2007, Scholastic will release The Down-to-Earth Guide to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t travel a whole lot. Normally, &#8220;travel&#8221; to me means a 3,000 mile trip to see my family in New York for a few days once or twice a year. The last time I did this was in November 2006 for my nephew&#8217;s first birthday. (D and I didn&#8217;t even go to either of [...]]]></description>

Laguna Beach is poised to become the first county city to extend such a ban to the private sector. Under a plan to be discussed next month, city restaurants would have to [...]]]></description>

One is Zerofootprint, which I think is another carbon offset company, but I haven&#8217;t checked them out yet. The other is Yahoo! Green, which I did get [...]]]></description>

Anywhoo, since I head down to Irvine every Saturday morning for the farmers&#8217; market, I figure I&#8217;ll go check out the UCI Earth Day festivities as well. Organized by the school&#8217;s Volunteer Center, the event will be held in Aldrich Park from 10am through 4pm on Saturday, [...]]]></description>

This Sunday I&#8217;ll be checking out what&#8217;s going on over at The Camp in Costa Mesa. (I&#8217;ve been fiending for some of Native Foods&#8216; &#8220;Save the Chicken&#8221; Wings!) It&#8217;s a free event, plus you can drop off any recyclables, listen to live music, and all that jazz. I&#8217;m also interested to know what classes they&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I got an email this morning from Gather.com, a MySpace-like social network for the older and wiser crowd, announcing a new contest they have. It&#8217;s called the Go Green on Gather Contest. The idea behind it is to encourage members to make (and hopefully follow) their &#8220;green resolutions.
Entries will be judged by Gather&#8217;s Editorial Team [...]]]></description>
