Although we will always have people who aren&amp;#39;t on the green bandwagon, I am astonished (&amp;amp; excited) about the changes taking place in today&amp;#39;s country.  With people choosing to bring their own cloth bags to the grocery store instead of using plastic bags and water drinkers using reusable water bottles instead of purchasing water for the bottle to wind up in a landfill -- We can see that the times are a changin&amp;#39;.  Even industries like banking are beginning to think of the environment, with banks like e3bank offering a triple-bottom-line... incentivizing people to install eco-friendly features to their homes for better interest rates.  I&amp;#39;m actually pretty excited for the startup of the bank -- there&amp;#39;s a great article I read on the NY Times website.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10032227/4327258811428906847/comments/default/8501120368972108786'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10032227/4327258811428906847/comments/default/8501120368972108786'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.theurbancountry.com/2009/04/sustainable-living-celebrating-earth.html?showComment=1240433644560#c8501120368972108786' title=''/><author><name>RM</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.theurbancountry.com/2009/04/sustainable-living-celebrating-earth.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10032227.post-4327258811428906847' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10032227/posts/default/4327258811428906847' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
