some neat facts from the Art Of Being Green Website http://artofbeinggreen.ca/

The average child who takes a disposable lunch bag with plastic-wrapped food and single serving items like pudding to school each day generates 30 kg of garbage every school year.
 
Even when turned off, home electronics use standby power to run internal clocks and memory settings that accounts for 40% of their total energy consumption.
 
Idling for more than 10 seconds uses more fuel than restarting your car.
 
The Art of Being Green Festival is on in Lanark the weekend of July 11.  Will we see you there?
