While we normally bake additional items, you can get what you want if you order early. 972.644.2000. Green Tip: Go to work on the season's falling leaves with your trusty yard rake, and your emissions are limited to a little sweat. If you use a gas-powered leaf blower instead, you can spew out as much combustion emissions in an hour's work as a car puts out while traveling 350 miles. What's more, the car spreads pollution over a wide area--but the leaf blower puts it right in your yard.

Green Tip: Many shampoos, including some billing themselves as "natural" or "organic" contain suspect chemicals: parabens, coal tar, sodium laureth sulfate, and many others. Some of these substances are carcinogenic, and though their small doses may have been proven safe, the cumulative drainage is harmful. Look for shampoos that are genuinely free of these ingredients. Some sites to check out for shampoo: www.terressentials.com (no synthetic ingredients or detergents), www.burtsbees.com (a bar of rosemary-mint-scented hair wash is all natural and also eliminates bottle waste), and www.aubrey-organics.com . It will be December until we know all of the election results. There are two senate races that will be decided in the next fe...

Do Your Part: Some funds to consider: Calvert , Domini , Green Century , and Walden . [Brought to you by Page-a-Day calendar.] I've got my Halloween costume on today, it's not a political statement.

Come in and get some great buys on all items on the sale rack. We just reloaded it over the last few days, so you'll find some new things on there. Green Tip: "Cradle-to-cradle" is a design paradigm that keeps products out of the landfill permanently. It's great to buy furniture made of recycled materials, but in some ways it's even better to buy furniture that can be recycled. The Celle work chair from Herman Miller, for example, is made up of 99 percent recyclable materials, and can be disassembled in less than five minutes. Do Your Part: At www.hermanmiller.com and www.steelcase.com , check out two furniture manufacturers who have embraced the cradle-to-cradle idea in much of their office furniture. I managed to survive the Thursday night workout session. I think that I am starting to get a litt...

Green Tip: Ask your mechanic about special tires with low rolling resistance to substantially improve your gas mileage. Auto makers put them on many cars as original equipment because the tires help them meet CAFE mileage standards. Find information (including a product list) at www.greenseal.org . On a Ford Focus, fuel-saving tires can cut gas consumption a cool two miles per gallon. In California alone, a statewide switch would amount to an annual gas savings...

Green Tip: Phosphates in laundry detergents can easily find their way into waterways, where they promote algae growth. This flourishing plant life consumes the oxygen in the water, leaving none for other plants and animal life. Look for phosphate-free detergents and dishwater soaps. (Both Costco and Sam's carry great options.) [Brought to you by Page-a-Day calendar.] Happy Birthday Wishes to David Lee Roth . Diamond Dave is 54 today.

(If you want to do even more, make sure that you tires are properly inflated and that your air filters are cleaned.)[This fact brought to you by Page-a-Day calendars.] The great thing about playoff baseball is that it never seems to go as scripted.

Green Tip: A steak might be an American institution, but it comes with a side of environmental costs. Central and South American forests are being cut or burned down to provide pasture. Effluent from feedlots pollutes land and waters, and each cow produces 300 liters of methane-a greenhouse gas-every day. Consider reducing the amount of meat you eat; while cows aren't problematic in and of themselves, modern mass-farming methods take a toll. [Brought t...

GM announced its newest car yesterday at its 100 anniversary celebration. The Chevrolet Volt is going to probably end up being on of the most talked about cars over the next two years. Scheduled for a 2010 production date, it will have time to become a household name. Already, there has been much anticipation about the project. At first look, I think that the car has a nice overall design. Although, the design does appear to follow the recent models from the Japanese automobile industry. It is supposed to be the most areodynamic car that GM has ever designed. It will be interesting to see what people think of the looks since it does not even resemble the c...

Green Tip: Around 17% of the cars on the road have gas caps that need attention, and the evaporation from the tanks for those autos accounts for 147 million gallons of wasted gas a year. If the gas cap on your car is damaged, loose, or missing, take time to visit the auto parts store and fix it. Evaporation wastes gas and adds to air pollution.

However, there are some opportunities for consumers to purchase products identifiably manufactured from recycled glass. Try these websites for dependable and useful products: www.greenfeet.com (mugs), www.abundantearth.com (tumblers), and www.williams-sonoma.com (wine glasses).

Besides saving gas and greenhouse emissions, carpooling reduces the wear on cars and helps them last longer. [This tip brought to you by Page-a-Day calendar.] Senator Obama finished out the convention last night with his acceptance speech. While I was not completely wowed by the speech itself, the spectical of 70,000 plus people filling Mile High Stadium was quite neat to see.

Green Tip: Think your electronics and appliances are turned off? Probably not. Hair dryers, phone chargers, TVs, computers and other devices use energy for display clocks and memory chips all the time. These hidden energy drains account for 5 percent of total domestic energy consumption and send 18 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year. Unplug them-or make it easier on yourself by connecting them to a surge protector and flipping the switch off.

Green Tip: Sooner or later, all batteries, even rechargeables, bit the dust. When they do, you'll want to keep them out of the landfill, where they may leach acids and heavy metal pollutants into the soil and groundwater. Look for centers that recycle them instead, and buy only the types that you know your center handles. Do Your Part: The Earth 911 website includes an easy-to-use locator for batter recycling sites. You can search by town or zip code for a location near you. [This fact brought to you by Page-a-Day calendar.] We finished season two of Doctor Who last night. It was sad.

The Chevy Aveo, VW Rabit, Honda Fit, Dodge Caliber, Toyota Yaris, Nissan Versa, and Mazda5 are stylish little numbers that get around 27-29 MPG in the city and 35-40 MPG on the highway, compared to a big SUV, which gets about 15-18 miles to the gallon on the highway.
