Goodbye Peggy:

First we’re bidding a fond farewell to Peggy; sigh, if only I hadn’t started that fight about global warming with her - just kidding! It was a hard decision regarding Peggy’s leaving, but trust me, we didn’t have some big soap opera brawl. We’re still thick as thieves (the good kind of thieves, like Robin Hood!).  In any case, if you miss Peggy as much as I do, visit her at her other blogs:

• Light Green Stairs
• Junk Creation
• Lively Women
• Extra special mystery blog Peggy’s starting - no worries it’s coming asap. When it does, you’ll find that link here.

November’s main theme - eco-fitness: 

With New Year’s fast approaching and all those resolutions coming up - yeah, it’ll be here before you know it, I figured we should talk about green fitness.  We’ve touched on this before, but this month we’ll look in-depth (or at least 2-3 times a week) at specific green fitness issues. Such as eco-fitness gear, eco-weight loss, where to find a nature workout, and more. I know, it’s cold outside! All the more reason to get inspired this month. Anyone can work out in the spring - we’ll work out now.

• Join the nature gym: love the planet, get healthy, and save money
• Plant a tree & lose that tummy fat even when it’s cold!
• 5 ways to green your workout
• One small step: spend one mile on nature today

November’s green challenge - Buy Nothing Day:

We haven’t had a green challenge in a while, so why not? This one will be very easy, and only requires you do one thing. Join the challenge: November 2008 Green Challenge: Buy Nothing Day

November’s side theme - green your holidays:
