 Canada is going for one million acts of green, meaning the citizens of Canada are being asked to record their green acts, big and small, in a collective effort to make the country greener. The people behind this green movement want to show Canada that it doesn't take a major overhaul of your life to be greener, but that little efforts made by lots of people add up to big change.
Check out the site to see how many acts of green have been reported. As of writing this there had been 223,985 acts of green which has save 11,911,754 kg of green house gases. This is awesome, Canada! Keep up the good work, and hopefully others will adopt the mindset that every little bit counts! -Jess

 After a weekend spent with a few native Denver-ites, I couldn’t help but be attracted to these Colorado-themed, American-made blankets. One look at the cowboys on the covers and you’ll be cured of your hankering for the west.

Ya'll remember that 90's television mistake named Tom Green? Well he's back on television and this time using his obnoxious comedy style for good, by hosting an eco-minded game show on Discovery's Planet Green. Go for the Green is a quiz-type show where 50 audience members compete against each other. For a full wrap up of the games concept and rules, check out the Go for the Green page on the Planet Green site.  Check out the Planet Green site to play a free online version of Go for the Green, and if you have Planet Green watch the show tonight...I'm curious to see how it turns out!

While shopping at my local Whole Foods Market, I stumbled upon some really attractive and functional hats that are made in the USA out of fleece from recycled plastic bottles (known as BottleFleece). I contacted the company to find that, with the exception of their gloves, all of their items are made in America, right in their home state of Oregon to be exact. The company is called Cagoule Fleece and their items are cute and cozy!

So after writing yesterday's blog on Christmas LED lights, I discovered even cooler Christmas lights - solar powered Christmas lights for your decorating! Solar powered Christmas lights use the LEDs, like the other lights I told you about, to provide the illumination. The solar panel just needs a minimum of 3 hours of direct sunlight each day to keep your lights shining all night and many times into the next morning. But worried about an electrical fire? We've been hearing for years about how not to leave your tree on when you're not home or asleep, but solar Christmas lights will not catch fire from faulty power cords. They don't plus in! They also have longer bulb lights, and no wires to worry about. And um, lower electric bills - thats a big plus! Though a little bit more pricey initially, the money you save year and year with solar powered bulbs make them well worth the investment. -Jess
