This past week I did quite a bit of flying. From Boise to Spokane, Spokane to Boise, Boise to Salt Lake, Salt Lake to Dallas... you get the picture. And while I normally love a good Internet read, most airlines still aren't friendly to in the air Internet. So, as many travelers do, I purchased a magazine. The magazine I picked up was body+soul - a great read on living life in balance. The pub focuses on good living, from being green, to eating well. They had a great list of Easy-to-be-Green Ideas that I wanted to share with you. (for the full list of 31, visit their website... it's worth it) 1. Farm Fresh - get to know a local farmer 2. Reuse - drink water from a reusable water bottle 3. Get outside - skip the gym and exercise outdoors 4. Unwrap - reuse your Ziplock bags 5. Go Fish - eat sustainable fish (visit the Blue Ocean Institute for more information) 6. Eco-Chic Bag - bring a reusable bag to the supermarket 7. Go Vegetarian - Eat a meal or two without meat 8. Save Power - remember to unplug your electronics 9. Cut Paper Use - cancel the phone book delivery 10. Go Digital  - sign up for online banking and stop receiving paper statements And there are 21 more where that came from! These items seem so simple, and they are. So if you are already doing all of the above, way to go. If you aren't, why not start today? Have additional ways to go green with ease? Let us know! We want to hear from you.
