He's always been good with recycling - better than me, actually. But then we saw 'An Inconvenient Truth" and he was totally sucked in on a new level.
He's feeling guilty about his big V8 Nissan Titan pickup and says he's wants to switch to an ethanol or flex fuel vehicle. He visited the website for ideas on how to reduce our CO2 emissions. He also bought the twirly energy saver lightbulbs this week and agreed that we don't need to eat as much meat. (although we ate less last night and he was hungry a few hours later). I got him on organic milk and hemp seed granola and just added veggie weiners last week.
He draws the line at patchouli smelling things but he likes Sandalwood without knowing exactly what he's smelling.
I think this is huge, especially from a big hunk of Alberta beef, a man from the land of great big oil sucking trucks and no municipal recycling programs and eating animals until you get the "meat sweats". Its all voluntary too.
And last night he was out canvassing for March of Dimes and raised about $200. He's such a do gooder.
Just wait. I'll have him in birkenstocks by spring.

Sounds good what your husband is doing. We've been going that route for years and we think it's the right thing to do... on the subject of flex fuels, we've gone biodiesel with our moving vans and launched an environmentally friendly moving company: MeanGreen Trucking and Transport.
