In the time that the Holy One created the first human, he took him to all the trees of Gan Eden and said to him, "See my works, how lovely and praiseworthy they are, and all that I created, for your sake I created it. Put your mind [to this], that you don’t ruin or destroy my world, for if you ruin there is no one who will repair after you.” — Kohelet Rabbah on Eccl. 7:13

All who wound God's works wound God's image. — Zohar

I'm buying a drying rack that can sit over our floor heater to use in place of our gas-heated clothes dryer.

Six months ago, after my car was in an accident, I replaced it with a biodiesel.

I have decided that I will no longer use the dryer to dry my clothes but instead I will dry my clothes through line drying.

I have also decided that within the next six months, I will have become really good at riding my bike and be able to do city riding. My eventual goal with bike riding is to be able ride it around town and use it more for transportation and use my car less for transportation.

Within the next six months, I am committing myself to use energy efficient lightbulbs instead of the incandescent lightbulbs. I will no longer buy incandescent/energy wasting lightbulbs.

Also, my plan is to buy a drying rack within the next six months and use the drying rack to dry my clothes rather than the dryer.

Our commitment: re-kindled by stepitup2007.org, we're organizing for greener town building codes,
buying and recycling...keeping connected thru movies, discussions, all-ages beach pick-up-picnic-parade, -- personally aiming to walk, bike, bus and carpool more.
gut yontef!

I'm on my second tank of waste vegetable oil! I did the conversion at Lovecraft just before leaving LA, and have now pumped two full tanks into my 300D at Greasecar in Easthampton!

Next dream idea up: a bicycle generator for T.V. watching.

For Chanukah I replaced all 14 of the bulbs in our new house with CFLs, and it felt great!
