<description><![CDATA[Looking for alternative ecologically friendly gifts this year? Consider purchasing a set of large, sturdy square bottomed reusable bags. There are a lot of varieties to choose from, but may I suggest those that are created from recycled plastic bottles - these are fantastic, very strong and a great way to support the waste-to-resource system that feeds a sustainable planet. Plastic litter is a huge concern. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Christmas is responsible for more waste and consumption than any other holiday. North American's trash contributions to the landfill increase by 25% during this time of year - which equates to a minimum of 25 million extra tons of garbage going to the landfill.

<description><![CDATA[When I received my copy of Making Drums for review I knew at first glance that I had come upon something great. As a drum maker and photographer myself I could really appreciate the work that obviously went into the collection of images for all the drums discussed. I believe it would make a great coffee table book based on the images alone!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[For many years, my family has been dedicated to preserving rare and endangered garden seeds. We tried the hybrids, but after a while we realized they were just not performing like the old varieties. Whether it was small yields or poor tolerance to heat waves there always seemed to be something wrong with them. About 22 years ago we became members of Canada's Heritage Seed Program - now known as Seeds of Diversity Canada - and have never looked back.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Frustrated by the over-commercialization of the holiday season? It is easy to feel annoyed when we see people "into" the spirit of being a nice person for this short period of time only. A lot of talk and a lot of noise along with the pressure to buy, buy, buy - others find the holidays a time of additional stress because they are alone. Many of us dream of attaining a simpler lifestyle and we can see the demand by all the information posted online and the newsletters on living a more simplistic or sustainable life...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There is no hope that humans will give up the pleasure and convenience machines provide us with - neither should we be asked to do so. But with all the work towards reducing consumption, to increase wild lands, to protect bio-diversity, and to decrease global warming,  it is just crazy to allow any of our machines to be manufactured in an environmentally damaging state any longer. Thankfully, manufacturers and governments have been listening to consumers, and as a result, our machines and industries are being improved. However, we must not release the pressure on them to continue improving their policies and help create a healthier planet.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Imagine that if at the grocery store the person bagging your   purchases left empty, unused spaces in each bag causing   you to carry 10 instead of 5 bags out to your car then into   your home.
