from the crow's nest

I'm going to start compiling a list of ecological-friendly steps people can take to reduce energy consumption, recyling, or better management of our planet. There are the obvious steps which I may or may not reiterate - haven't decided but, for now, here are a few thoughts.

1. When using a clothes dryer, just heat up the articles and then remove them to line dry or dry flat. Reduces winkles, eliminates ironing, and saves electricity.

2. Telecommute one day a week.

3. Live closer to work - reduce driving.

4. Assess business travel and create more efficiencies.

5. Avoid prepackaged food.
