Welcome to the January 5th, 2009 edition of All Things Eco.
Be sure to Stumble the posts you like, or submit them to other social bookmarking services. Let's promote each other, as well as this blog carnival.
I'm back from CT (unfortunately), so I apologize for the lack of attention paid to the site the past couple of weeks, and hope to get more into the swing of things again. Hope that everyone's New Year went well and would love to hear your resolutions! Mine is, obviously, to figure out a way to move home to CT... ASAP.
Hopefully with the holidays done and over and the new year started, the blog carnival will also pick up again and start receiving more submissions! Unfortunately for this week, a few of the submissions I received had not a thing to do with anything eco!
Astrid Lee presents Eating Organics Heals Our World; a How-To article posted at We Are One World Healing. Astrid Lee says, "Heard about the connection between red meat and the deforestation in the Amazon??!! Read up how you can make a difference in the world by eating right. Easy..."
SimplyForties presents Lower Gas Prices, A Mixed Blessing? posted at SimplyForties. From the article:
Regardless of the current prices, oil is a non-renewable resource and its reserves are finite. There is no question that, at some point, we are going to run out. If not in our lifetime, then in the future of a not-too-distant generation. If we don’t face it and get prepared, it’s going to be a disaster. The high price of gas was forcing us to get ready. Will we now slide back into complacency?
RecycleCindy presents The Green Shopping Bag posted at My Recycled Bags.com. RecycleCindy says, "What better way to start the new year than to recycle plastic bags into a wonderful reusable green shopping bag. I offer a free pattern and picture tutorial on how you can create a handy shopping bag from recycled plastic grocery bags. The free crochet pattern is found here."

Here's our list of picks for the top 5 electric scooters of 2008."
