The answer...HECK YES!

It's Goodwill Industries Day at Summerfest tomorrow; just drop off a donation to Goodwill by tomorrow, and with a qualifying receipt, you'll be able to redeem that for a free Summerfest ticket between Noon and 3pm tomorrow.

Of course, donating to Goodwill not only helps people get jobs in our communtiy, it also supports sustainability and the re-use of quality goods that you might not need anymore.

For us guys, pulling out the lawnmower is a almost a ritual each year; the sign that we can (hopefully) pack up our shovels and rock salt and say HELLLLLLLLO to summer!  And although my lawn on the east side is very small, it still needs to be taken care of -- and I've found a greener way to do it -- I'm using a self-propelled lawnmower!

Yes, gas lawnmowers are fantastic...but there are so many reasons to leave yours in the garage this summer.  (Most importantly, they emit toxic gases, and use fossil fuels.)  Instead, look around for a self-propelled mower at a garage sale (I found mine for $7.00!).  Take the extra time, burn a few extra calories, and you'll be making a green choice to help keep your lawn green all summer -- and for summers to come!

We all hear how we should shred and recycle our old bank statements, credit card applications, and other junk-type mail that could compromise our identity…and this weekend, Kard Recycling in New Berlin is taking care of all of it  Drop off up to 100 lbs. of recyclables, and they’ll recycle it for free, while they take donations for the Hunger Task Force.  Not only is this a great way to get rid of all this old junk, but it's a GREEN way to get rid of it too!

Here’s a may to where they’re located at 3600 S. 163rd…and happy Spring Cleaning!

Hats off to Hamilton College and Colgate University in Upstate New York; their colleges are competiting in a new program called RECYCLEMANIA! 

It's exactly what it sounds like -- they're seeing which University can recycle more.

If you're a teacher, there's probably a project here for your students, even between elementary school classrooms, to teach them the importance of recycling.  Check out how its going for the New York schools, click here!

If you're anything like me, you've probably seen your heat bill jump a few notches since winter began.  Good news though; not only are Kidd & Elizabeth from 99.1 WMYX going to help you with the bill, but WE Energies is out with their new energy mapper online.  It lets you look at your energy use, and make some smart choices to conserve energy use and better insulate your home during the winter months.  Take a look and see what you could do for your home!

Remember the hottest selling cars 10 years ago?  They were the Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, and the newly-released (and "pimped out") Cadillac Escalade.

Times, they are a changin'.

The Detroit Auto Show rolls out later this month, and EVERYONE is downsizing their cars to go greener!  Here's a preview of what we can expect in 2010.

My mother is a bag lady.

No, not that kind...she's the kind of person who gives gifts in BAGS.  And why?  It's GREENER than wrapping paper.

If you give gifts in bags this Christmas, don't be afraid to re-use a nice bag or some of the tissue paper again.  Chances are, that bag and tissue paper are in fine shape, and unlike re-gifting, RE-BAGGING is less likely to be noticed by someone you're giving a gift to.
