PRINTRandom Acts of Green-Ness
You’ve probably heard of the growing movement and organization that promotes Random Acts of Kindness, but what about the idea of Random Acts of Green- Ness.
The other day when we were experiencing a January thaw, I was driving down my road and saw a couple picking up garbage that was littering our street. Wow. I was awe-struck that this couple who didn’t seem to be with an organization (I’ve seen both the Boy and Girl Scouts doing a road clean-up) took it upon themselves to clean up the road. It then him me that maybe Random Acts of Green-Ness should become the next good deeds to strive towards.
How many times have you taken a walk – either on your road, on the beach, or in the woods – and seen garbage strewn here and there. In addition to polluting the earth, it’s also a hazard to wildlife and domestic animals. Next time you head for some fresh air, bring along a garbage bag and pick up that garbage rather than walking by it.
What other Random Acts of Green-Ness could we all do on a daily basis? What about making sure you shut the lights off in your home and offices when they’re not needed. I hate it when I drive by a big office building late at night to see all of the lights on – why? Is it really necessary?
Simple steps do make big differences. Stay tuned for more Random Acts of Green-Ness. If you witness these random acts, please share them with us at our forum.

If you notice a hole in the upper left-hand corner of your Farmers' Almanac, don't return it to the store! That hole isn't a defect; it's a part of history. Starting with the first edition of the Farmers' Almanac in 1818, readers used to nail holes into the corners to hang it up in their homes, barns, and outhouses (to provide both reading material and toilet paper). In 1910, the Almanac's publishers began pre-drilling holes in the corners to make it even easier for readers to keep all of that invaluable information (and paper) handy.
