I'm just getting up from being sick in bed most of last week. My plan was to do at least my Green Living Q&A blog but when I opened my blog admin page and took a look... Yikes! You all were busy this week! Ninety-four questions and comments! I went back to bed. I'll get to these this week, plus whatever else you post. Being sick, I did find a brand new organic product, so new, it's not on a website yet. It's Organix Organic Cough and Sore Throat Drops (by the makers of Cold-Eeze). The contain vitamin C, organic honey, and various organic herbs, in a base of organic evaporated cane juice. I found these yesterday at Walgreen's in San Francisco, when I finally ventured out. So if you've got this whatever that's going around with the cough, these are organic, tasty, and really work. There are a couple of great videos I want to share with you today (both sent to me by my friend Louise Goekel--thanks Louise!). Please take a look.

In a very easy and entertaining way, this excellent 20-minute animated video shows how our consumer choices affect the environment through each stage of the lifecycle--extraction, production, distribution, consumption, and disposal. I wrote about product lifecycle in my new book Really Green, but this video really brings it all "alive" and gives lots of statistics about environmental impacts all along the line. I highly recommend it as a backgrounder for WHY we all need to buy green as much as possible, and encourage others to do so as well. Watch this video, then email the link to friends and family along with a link to Debra's List. Together they give problem and solution.

I just want you to see...living things do appreciate when we take care of them... Several years ago a woman found a sick, malnourished lion cub in the jungle. She took the cub home and fed him and brought him up until he was too big to keep anymore. She then made arrangements with a zoo in Colombia to take the lion. Here's a video of what happened when she went to visit him in the zoo for the first time: www.telestereo.com/Archivos/video.swf
