Some individuals are participating but it's hard to find the info on their blogs.<BR/><BR/>So, if you are participating in Low Impact Week, are blogging about it, and are not already listed under my co-sponsor list on my sidebar, let me know and I'll add you!<BR/><BR/>And Piddler, you and your genius horses are not alone!

One of the things I find most inspiring about the green community on-line is discovering I'm not alone (which I've long felt living here in conservitopia). As many of us will be posting about Low Impact Week on our sites, it would be neat if we had a place to send folks to check in (folks who are participating and folks who think it's a great idea?). Anyway, my two cents worth.Piddlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12056865331170868231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-72721878240067920312007-05-29T18:36:00.000-07:002007-05-29T18:36:00.000-07:00april - I'm so proud!

It's very wasteful to throw away a lightbulb that's working, even if it isn't energy efficient. I'm all for switching the lightbulbs, but wait until you have a burnt-out bulb.<BR/>Good luck! I'm so excited about this! Most of my friends think I'm crazy, but I've inspired a couple of friends to do this with me! Yahoo!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
