		<description><![CDATA[One part of me is nervous as hell about making this commitment but another part of me loves the challenge.  I have no doubt that it will be challenging.  The biggest challenge will be getting to work because I live 22 miles from work.  I try to take public transportation a couple days a week but it is more like a couple of days every couple of weeks. It really is convenient to drive. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday (Friday, October 9, 2009), I watched (via hulu.com) Colin Beavan on the Stephen Colbert show which originally aired Thursday, October 8, 2009.  He talked about how he made no impact on the environment for a year in New York City. From my vantage point, it was extremely painful for me to watch because my theory and reality of going green were not meshing.  I want to be green, really, I do. Yet, I want convenience out the yin-yang.  </p>
<p>As I continued to watch,  Colin said that about 1500 people are going to do the no impact project for a week.  Immediately, I thought I should do this and just as quickly dismissed notion.  So, I compromised with myself and decided to sleep on it.  This morning I went to the website and decided to sign-up for the No Impact Project.  Registering for it was a bit confusing because I was routed to Huffington Post&#8217;s website.  I discovered that Huffington Post will host the No Impact Week and the projoect will begin on October 18, 2009.  I received an email that stated information about the project is forthcoming (Please hurry before I lose the courage to participate.)</p>
<p>One part of me is nervous as hell about making this commitment but another part of me loves the challenge.  I have no doubt that it will be challenging.  The biggest challenge will be getting to work because I live 22 miles from work.  I try to take public transportation a couple days a week but it is more like a couple of days every couple of weeks. It really is convenient to drive. </p>
<p>This will be interesting and I am sure I will talk myself into and out of the No Impact Week Project a hundred times before October 18.  However, I encourage you to take a look and participate as well.  The find out more go to <a href="http://www.noimpactproject.org">www.noimpactproject.org</a> and let me know if you will participate.</p>
<p>Finally, for the record, I will not be giving up toilet paper during No Impact Week.  </p>
