Green It! Carnival

I like carnivals because they are a great way to share ideas, generate community as bloggers, and offer the world our combined perspectives. I like to think it might be one more way I'm making a difference. As a token of my support, and as a favor to a woman who I think is doing a fine job with her blog, Green Me, I am hosting the this week's edition of Green It! Carnival.
