A Visit With a "Wildman" and a Quick "Tip"

Patrick and I spent an interesting evening at one of our local libraries meeting and getting to know "Wildman" Steve Brill. The Wildman doesn't shop for his food. Nor does he grow it in his garden. He forages for his food. Read all about it at Patrick's blog, The Hawk Owl's Nest.

As for my quick "tip". Next time you purchase cotton swabs, commonly and universally referred to as q-tips (whether or not they really are Q-Tip brand), look for ones with a cardboard tube instead of a plastic tube. Mine are plastic but I will be switching to cardboard as soon as I run out of the everlasting plastic ones. Cardboard is better because it will break down whereas the plastic will not.

And there you have my green "tip" on tips.

Hello,

My name is Bill Hawthorne, and I represent maacenter.org, a leading web resource for asbestos exposure and mesothelioma cancer information. Our organization is dedicated to increasing awareness of the terrible health consequences of asbestos exposure through the distribution of the best informational materials and public outreach efforts.

I found your site through a search and decided to contact you because of its high environmental and green presence which is extremely important in our movement. Your viewers are extremely savvy and motivated. The promotion of how buildings should now be built using sustainable green products to avoid asbestos and mesothelioma as well as the awareness of past buildings and preventative steps in avoiding asbestos exposure are extremely important. My goal is to get a resource link on your site/blog or even to provide a guest posting to be placed.

I look forward to hearing from you. Please feel free to check out our website at www.maacenter.org. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Please contact me back at bhawthorne@maacenter.org

Bill
