I always forget how satisfying performing is.
Even if you're not ready, scripts falls apart or timing's off, it's an adventure.

happy earth day!

today and everyday i should:
recycle, use less water and energy, reduce plastic consumption, reuse containers, and reduce single serving stuff.

when i get a house i should:
STEP ON BAMBOO. Consider beautiful and sustainable bamboo wood flooring. Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on Earth, with some species growing a meter a day. It takes only three to five years to replenish bamboo, so an acre of bamboo can provide more flooring than an acre of trees. Cutting bamboo shoots does not destroy the roots and
fresh new sprouts grow in their place, according to the American Bamboo Society.

LET THE SUN SHINE IN. Consider going solar, even in small ways. Use solar energy to power your garden lights, fountain and even your computer. One of the easiest and least expensive ways to start saving energy is with lighting. Replace your most frequently used incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent lights. According to some experts, if you substitute just a quarter the incandescent bulbs used in high-use areas, you can cut the amount of electricity you use on lighting by half -- saving money and our environment.

CATCH A BREEZE FROM THE TREES. By strategically planting deciduous shade trees, you can protect windows from summer sun to keep your home cool, but still allow the sun in during the winter to heat it. Join the National Arbor Day Foundation and plant the 10 free trees they will send you. Trees improve water quality, lower air conditioning costs by helping shade and cool, absorb carbon dioxide and emit oxygen -- and even boost your property values.

REMEMBER TO RECYCLE. Recycling glass, plastic and paper is convenient in most communities, with recycling bins often next to trash cans or conveniently located in store parking lots. "Recycling paper uses 60% less energy than manufacturing paper from virgin timber," according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

DON'T REACH FOR THE BLEACH. The 1990 Clean Air Act lists chlorine bleach as a hazardous air pollutant. Chlorine bleach is also the most common household cleaning product accidentally swallowed by children. Inhaled, it can cause respiratory problems including emphysema and bronchitis. To get a safer clean, switch to eco-friendly laundry products.
