Every six to twelve months I attack the garage. It's mostly my fault for not putting things away when I'm done with them. This last round started off pretty bad but after two weekends I've turned things around. But this time I was highly motivated since I had put away the Halloween stuff so well...

Tenho duas malas de viagem. Uma vermelha, enorme, que comprei no ano passado em Abril antes de ir para Bath. Usei-a duas vezes: quando fui para lá e quando voltei para cá. Na viagem para cá a mala perdeu a "tampa" daquela handle que serve para nós a puxarmos tipo trolley. O sistema funciona, só...
Does it matter why Global Warming is happening, or even if, to see that the changes we are asked to make to our lives to prevent it are a good thing overall / in the long term? I mean, doctors see patients with unidentifiable illnesses and (hopefully) will treat the symptoms to the best of their...

I never use the bulky, paper phone books we receive in the mail each year, so I always recycle them. If you don't use the large and cumbersome Yellow Pages and/or White Pages phone directory...
I walked my usual five blocks to the grocery store. I've been carrying reusable bags ever since moving into the city and feel so happy that we're working toward being plastic bag free. It's cumbersome - for some reason, my grocery store will not bag your groceries if you bring your own bags. And...
The word inspirational is over-used but there is no other to describe the film Garbage Warrior and its hero, Michael Reynolds.
