If you feel like doing it, I'll be happy to read it whenever you manage to get around to it. <BR/><BR/>On a "no car" day, I could most definitely get around by bike. Anything I might really need (and what do I so desperately need on that particular day anyway? I'm not sure, but maybe I'll discover something as I experiment) is within five miles of my house.Emily Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971084813206845680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-87994290048870422902008-02-26T17:46:00.000-05:002008-02-26T17:46:00.000-05:00Hi!

Otherwise I would have known you tagged me for this meme, which is a great thought provoker.<BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed your energy crisis meme and your ideas for it. Consider when you are having your "no car" day how you might be able to get around without a car. I don't know what your situation is, but it is entirely possible that you could do much of what you needed to do on a bike, or on foot.healingmagichandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03785882461027155830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-77089758454680888382008-02-21T19:02:00.000-05:002008-02-21T19:02:00.000-05:00ZM, okay, you're counted in.Cam, your answers will...ZM, okay, you're counted in.<BR/><BR/>Cam, your answers will great, and I'll comment more fully on your blog in a minute.<BR/><BR/>Charlotte, but you already do so many great little things for the eco-justice cause, you shouldn't have any problems. And I'm still waiting (not very patiently) for that book you described.<BR/><BR/>MFS, thanks for the helpful link. And the novel is a work in (long) process, but don't worry, you'll be one of the first to read it when it's done.<BR/><BR/>Mandarine, yes I'm already coming up with some quite challenging stuff. Suggestions from you are welcome. Maybe that will be part of the blog, once I set it all up.<BR/><BR/>Dorr, it sounds like my blog, doesn't it? I'll count you in, too, for the environmental challenge.<BR/><BR/>Ms. Make Tea, hope you enjoyed the post on the wonderful night. It WAS fun (although we didn't go in costume. I found out about it too late to do that. Maybe next time...).<BR/><BR/>Litlove, well thank YOU for the inspiration. It was a great meme.<BR/><BR/>Stef, oh yes, of course I have the perfect fountain pen!Emily Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971084813206845680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-78680600580346938342008-02-20T22:24:00.000-05:002008-02-20T22:24:00.000-05:00Hi Emily!

And I'm always up for an eco-challenge. <BR/><BR/>I hope you have lots of south facing windows at your house so you can have warmth and light enough during the blackouts to write your book. I'm sure you have the perfect fountain pen with which to do it :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-1185995562477039212008-02-17T16:00:00.000-05:002008-02-17T16:00:00.000-05:00I am just so impressed by the way bloggers keep co...I am just so impressed by the way bloggers keep coming up with clever ideas for helping the environment and cutting back on energy usage! Yes, I'd be up for that. Rationing is an excellent idea. We have two computers here and we ought only to switch one of them on a day, I think. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for doing the meme, Emily, and coming up with such brilliant ideas.litlovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952927245186474480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-59489604027143283992008-02-17T15:48:00.000-05:002008-02-17T15:48:00.000-05:00I am so jealous of you going to the Victorian Sean...I am so jealous of you going to the Victorian Seance thing.

I mean, not the 'change-one-light-bulb-a-year' or the 'drive-1-mph-slower-when-traffic-is-fluid' ideas, but the real amish thing. I love your monthly blackout. How about giving up meat for lent? Now not only do we have the religious reason, but the ecological footprint and justice reasons too.mandarinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18413240094728405118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-53394484769966511392008-02-16T07:15:00.000-05:002008-02-16T07:15:00.000-05:00Emily - check out http://www.dothegreenthing.com/T...Emily - check out http://www.dothegreenthing.com/<BR/>The site challenges users to do one easy, environmentally friendly thing every month. <BR/><BR/>Now, hurry up and write the novel so I can read it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-42791443359284708962008-02-16T02:03:00.000-05:002008-02-16T02:03:00.000-05:00Aw, your Valentine is sweet.

Wonderful!<BR/><BR/>As for the energy crisis meme, I think I haven't done because I can't face thinking about it.
