Greenwashing

MSN had a story today on 4 'green' claims to be wary of. Shockingly the first product line on the list was Clorox's Green Works. In Natchitoches there is only a few choices on where to shop and lately actual green products that are made to much higher standards like 7th Generation have been replaced by Green Works! A few stores carry a couple of the products in the 7th Generation line, but not many and not consistently. The article also mentions the website sinofgreenwashing.org. This site has a report that you can download that talks about different aspects of greenwashing. Doesn't really mention any names, but may help you make more informed decisions by telling you what to look for.

The Longest Way

Christoph Rehage planned to walk from China to Germany beginning in Beijinng starting in fall 2007. He did not make it Germany, but did manage to cover about 4,000 km (around 2,500 miles). He has a video on youtube that is a timelapse of his travels. It is intersting and has some rockin' music. It was mentioned on Neotrama today and I watched the video which piqued my interest and I followed the link to his website The Longest Way. What I really got into was the archive of his walk from Paris to Bad Nenndorf that he did in 2003 with his dog along for the whole trip and a friend for part. I totally recommend checking this site out!

I am not sure what qualifies him to offer relationship advice, but this slideshow from his visit to the Oprah show is pretty funny at times!

Another Duggar!?

Another Duggar on the Way!
I mentioned in September that the oldest son of the Duggar family in Arkansas got married to his home schooled sweetheart. Which the marriage brought the family to 20, but then Michelle Duggar was expecting baby 18 which was born shortly after this. So I think with the baby on the way that brings the count to 21. I don't know if the baby should be included in the count or begin a new count, like 2.1 or something.

I Heart Cake Wrecks

I don't know how many people pay attention to the links on my side, but these are places I go at least once a week for some entertainment. Cake Wrecks is AWESOME! I have tried to get her to put up the one I found from my cousin's birthday because it is also awesome. However, I have some showers come up in the next couple weeks and if my cakes look like anything on this site I will cry and beat down whoever is responsible for it.
