Getting Greener?

A lot of talk has been generated about "going green" but really what does it really mean? I find it very confusing at times, however an article I read in the Sunday New York Times also found "going green" to be equally confusing but they gave a few useful tips. One of the tips was to check out this website called Simple Steps. It breaks down things you can do in a minute, a week or a month to save energy and conserve resources. I was inspired to make this ATC after reading the article.....

On another related note to the environment (it's been on my mind a lot lately) I was thinking about honey bees and why I haven't seen as many this spring in my flowers and I've heard they are dying off at an alarming rate. Here is a video which tells why, if you'd like to watch it. I love bees! My name is Melissa and it means "honeybee". My all time favorite fictional novel is 'The Secret Life of Bees'. It is the only book which I ever kept after reading and have read it again 2 more times. After each time I read it, I say to myself and my friends, "this should be made into a movie!" And guess what, it has been!!! I'm so excited, I hope it's as good as the book. The movie is scheduled to come out in October. Here is a clip of it! If you've never read this book, you need to get it and read it before seeing the movie.
