Sorry to be late with this but I love the WWII stuff too. When I was a kid we found some books in my friend's attic. One was called BUDDY AND THE VICTORY CLUB (by the same guy who wrote Uncle Wiggley) and the whole book, published in 1941, was about how this group of kids collected cans and bottles and grew a "victory garden." You actually may be on to somethint -- maybe we should go find all those old pamphlets and get some ideas.!

Thanks for sharing... yes it is funny to me how suddenly it's patriotic to spend. Bush told Americans to shop after 9/11 as if that was the best way to respond to the tragedy. Yet previous generations valued thrift, resourcefulness, and having a bankroll, not debt. ;) Carrie's last blog post..Frugal Friday: .25 Day at the Thrift Store

Does anybody know about this site ( http://www.earthlab.com ) ? I have seen other environmental sites with carbon calculators like yahoo and tree huggers, but I am wondering what the deal with earthlab.com is? I saw they also published a list last month of the top ten greenest cities ( http://www.efficientenergy.org/Top-Ten-Green-Cities-in-the-United-States ). Does anyone know if this site is better than the others? Fill me in!

I took their carbon foot print test and it was pretty interesting, they said that I put out 4.5 tons of carbon, does anyone know about any other tests?

Thanks for the link! WWII and homefront has been on my mind a lot lately. I love Wardrobe Refashion too. I'm going on my second stint there. That is really scary about Walmart, but not surprising. Jenny's last blog post..How to Act Like an Ass on Vacation
