Hello Everyone,
Well today is Earth Day and if you remember I posted some things that we could do to help our environment. I hope that many of you took the time to read through and check out some of the links I posted. Everyone should also check out the Google (http://www.google.com/) logo. I was listening to Y-100, which I listen to every morning, and they were talking about it. Google is definitely creative when it comes to their logo.
If you guys want to donate or just check out some things for today go here: http://ww2.earthday.net/.
I will now leave you with a funny joke and I will be updating you guys tomorrow on Dancing with the Stars and American Idol.
KFC: Our Daily Chicken
A salesman from KFC walked up to the Pope and offers him a million dollars if he would change "The Lord's Prayer" from "give us this day our daily bread" to "give us this day our daily chicken." The Pope refused his offer. Two weeks later, the man offered the pope 10 million dollars to change it from "give us this day our daily bread" to "give us this day our daily chicken" and again the Pope refused the man's generous offer. Another week later, the man offered the Pope 20 million dollars and finally the Pope accepted. The following day, the Pope said to all his officials, "I have some good news and some bad news. 'The good news is, that we have just received a check for 20 million dollars. The bad news is, we lost the Wonder Bread account!''
Later!

Other Ways to help the world!
Anything that helps the planet is always a good thing, and lately I've been trying to be a little bit better about contributing, so I want to share a few things that I've been doing.
I get the hgtv newsletter and they sent me a reminder on their new show 20 Ways Your Home Can Save the Planet. It's going to premiere on Sunday, April 20, 2008 at 8pm. Click here to find out 20 ways you can make your home more Eco-friendly:(http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/pac_ctnt_988/text/0,,HGTV_22056_67487,00.html?nl=HGIdeas_v282_7).
Another link you may go to where you just have to click to help other causes is http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/home.faces?siteId=3&ThirdPartyClicks=ERA_041808_ARS. If click here you will notice it's the animal rescue site, but if you look at the top you also have Hunger, Breast Cancer, Child Health, Literacy and the Rainforest. Also, you may buy gifts and with every purchase, you are contributing for the cause. For example, on the animal rescue site you are providing a certain amount of food per purchase. Also, you may receive a reminder everyday to click. I totally do this, sometimes though, I don't check my email so I click like 10 times in a day. :)

You may also want to check out this other blog called ideal bite at(http://www.idealbite.com/tiplibrary/archives/pulling_out_your_hair). I receive their newsletter as well. They have some interesting things that are very Eco-friendly and give you many ideas too. You should check it out.
Hopefully, all of you, my readers, will take the time to do some of these things to be more "Green". Take the time to give back.
Helping the world one bottle at a time...
Well...yesterday I was talking to a co-worker of mine who is into environmentally safe products. She has this super cool water bottle made by Sigg. This is what it looks like...
So yesterday I went to their site and this is what I found out about their product (http://www.mysigg.com/index.asp?PageAction=COMPANY):
SIGG: The Product
SIGG, "The Original Swiss Bottle", is recognized world-wide for Swiss quality and craftsmanship that comes with nearly 100 years of heritage and experience. Produced from a single component that is seamless and has no comparable weak points, SIGG bottles are tremendously durable and virtually unbreakable. In June 2006, Backpacker magazine conducted a relentless field test of leading water bottles brands. With the services of a 100 pound cannon packed with golf balls, they were able to destroy all of the targeted bottles – except one! Following the bottle barrage, they dubbed SIGG "The World's Toughest Water Bottle."
As tough as they are on the outside, it's the inside of SIGG bottles that make them so special. Due to SIGG's special, proprietary internal coating, these high-tech bottles are resistant to fruit juice acids, energy drinks, alcohol and virtually any consumable beverage. Because the liners are taste and scent neutral, you can enjoy any beverage you'd like – without any lingering smell or taste of the last beverage you drank. The composition of the liner also reduces the chances of bacteria build-up. And because the liner is virtually baked into the inner walls of the bottle, it will not flake or chip even if dented on the outside.
Recently, there has been a lot of press concerning Lexan plastic water bottles (Polycarbonate #7) leaching harmful chemicals into the container's ingredients. It's extremely important to note that SIGG bottles exceed FDA requirements and have been thoroughly tested to ensure 0.0% leaching – so they are 100% safe.
Combining function and fashion, SIGG bottles come in over 100 unique, eye-catching designs. Utilizing 30 independent artists from around the world, SIGG Switzerland introduces new, cutting edge styles every year. And the leak-proof caps are interchangeable creating over 1,000 possible combinations – so you can find the SIGG that meets your needs and expresses your personality.
SIGG bottles are manufactured in an ecologically-friendly environment and are 100% recyclable after their very long lives. In fact, most SIGGs in Europe are still being used 10-20 years after purchase.
You may buy this product on their site or even on Amazon.com. Don't forget to buy the cleaning brush as well, so as not too mess up your bottle. It's a purchase you will have for a lifetime. Here are a few more styles that I found on Amazon.
