Shopping...

most of the clothing from NAU is from 100% organic cotton grown in Thailand.

I wonder how it got to the US though? I'm sure that wasn't a eco-friendly process.

Make your own orgnic fly traps using a funnel bought or made from heavy brown paper bag. Any size jar that the funnel will fit into. In the bottom of the jar place any combination of over ripe fruit and yeast. Banana's work great. You can also use spoiled meat as a bait.Flies get trapped in the jar and can't find their way out of the small opening of the funnel.++++++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ ++++==Make organic sticky fly trap strips by cutting a strip of brown paper bag and coating it with molassas or an inexpensive syrup. Hang or place a distance from patios, yards or corrals so you attract flies 'away' from these areas.Deanna in Colorado

This type of fly trap will also draw and trap yellow jackets. You can also make them out of liter size soda bottles. You cut arount it 2/3 of the way up and invert the top into the bottom. Katie

Carpooling

Today I carpooled in with Jim. I'm going to try to do it all week. I'm low on cash this week, so it's motivating me a bit. I think if Jim and I got in the habit of carpooling together, we could save a lot of moolah. plus, ya know.. it's good for the environment and all ;-)
