Saw This And Thought Of You

My cousin sent me this by email and I thought it was pretty sweet. I don't forward chain mail, I usually just read then delete them. This one made me think twice so I'd like to share it with you. I've edited it slightly for punctuation and word usage, but for the most part, have left it intact.

If you happened to show up on my door step crying, 

I would care.

If you called and asked

me to pick you up because something happened, 

I would come.

If you had one day left 

to live your life, 

I would want to be part of

that last day.

If you needed a shoulder 

to cry on, 

I would give you mine. 

The relationship is between two eyes are: 

They blink together,

They move together, 

They cry together,

They see things together,

And they sleep together, even though they never see each other.

That's what friendship is.

Life isn't about how you survived the storm.

It's about how you danced in the rain! 

Pretty, isn't it? 

Being Eco Friendly

We've all tried to keep up with the fashionable trend of eating organically, counting our carbon footprints, and keeping up with the forever unfolding ethics of holding global warming at bay. Most of the people I know never leave home without reusable shopping bags. We're all doing our bit t lessen the heady heights of our local landfills. 

But how about dressing organically? The general public has had a lengthy chance to make up their minds about just how trendy this new wave of organic, ethical fashion is. Many designers nowadays incorporate at least an element of eco-friendliness in their new lines. 

The textile industry has been one of the major polluters in the world, and is now endeavouring to work towards creating an awareness of how disastrously fatal the use of pesticides is to the third world farmers.

Around a quarter of the world’s insecticides are used in the growth of conventional cotton. Ten percent of its pesticides, and at least 8,000 chemicals are used to turn raw material into clothes, towels, beddings and items which come in to close contact with our skins every day. This is a scary thought when we think that we use things like towels on new born babies.

These days we’ve gone further than just our shopping bags, food and clothes. And have found ways to produce across-the-board eco friendly products. Things like home insulation and outdoor lighting are amazingly green and good for our environment. If we could bother to look, we can build and furnish our homes completely on the green side.

Have you found new ways to go green?
