I was recently made aware that the video from Wednesday’s video post did not come through for those receiving updates via email.  If you’d like to see it (and I hope you would) here’s a link to Wednesday’s post. I will now go back to learning how to use the internet.

urban-farmIt’s likely that you’ve heard of a gentleman, Colin, who writes a blog called No Impact Man and spent a year living without most of the conveniences of modern life.

What you might not know, is that he started a project to get you and me to join him for a more palatable week long period.  The next week-long go-about begins on Sunday, November 15.  I will be participating and complaining all week about how hard life is.

If you’re interested, check out No Impact Project and sign up.  If you do, leave a comment or send me an email to let me know and we can provide each other some support along the way.

I know Aldra over at Consciously Frugal will be taking part as well, so you’ll be in good company.

This week, the internet was abuzz with all kinds of awesome stuff that, while not necessarily aimed at the eco-conscious crowd, fits right in without much convincing.

I’m currently in the process of getting rid of all my CDs and moving to a completely digital world of music. Perhaps it wasn’t coincidence that Heather at The Greenest Dollar wrote a post about free online music.  Thanks to her, I’ve been reintroduced with an old college love, Pandora.  In fact, I’m listening right now.

Speaking of love, I’m quite happily courting a beautiful young lady, but I couldn’t help but become intrigued when I ran into a relatively new website, Eco Dater, the other day.  If you’re single and ready to mingle but having a hard time finding just the right organic farmer for you, I suggest you make your way over there for some browsing.  Recycle your scraps at the compost bin after dinner and win your date’s heart for ever.

Once you and your new love have finally tied the knot, you can start your mutual pursuit of the American Dream.  Don’t get started, though, until you read Sean Ogle’s thoughts about the demise of that dream.  According to him, you don’t need to own a house to live your dreams.  As long as you don’t need that, you don’t need to toil away at the same career for 30 years to pay for it, either.  We all know the benefits of minimalism, now don’t we?

Whether or not you own a home, you’re going to have to live somewhere.  Wherever that is, it might as well be a warm, cozy place. Trent over at The Simple Dollar was kind enough to leave us with 10 tricks for staying warm this winter without huge energy bills or, as I like to put it, 10 tricks for staying warm this winter without destroying the planet.

Have a great weekend everyone.  Be sure to check out some of the carnivals that Frugally Green was featured in this week.  They’re a great place to connect with new and interesting blogs:
