Yoga, bikes, and blogs…

For you yoga fans out there, I found this great site through an ad in Yoga Journal: –>Yoga Today. Everyday the site hosts an hour-long yoga video for FREE! They also have some back episodes for download. I tried one last night and found them to be of excellent quality and you can download in various formats including HD WMV. Free is good!

May is Bike to Work Month, next week is Bike to Work Week, and Friday, May 18 is Bike to Work Day. I ride my bike everywhere, except to work. Why? Well probably because I only live a few minutes from where I work. But I figure that’s all the more reason I should stay out of my car and make the quick bike ride to work. So today, I rode in for the first time. It takes a little bit of planning; I have to get up earlier, leave earlier, take clothes in the day before, take some toiletries, etc. But the payoff is worth it. I don’t sit in traffic, I get some exercise, I get to ride in the beautiful Southern California sun (sunny and 75 deg at 8am!), and best of all, my car is in the driveway. –>Read up here.

From around the blogworld:

Panda Dan’s –>blog entry today included a nice little list of –>Top Ten tips for lazy environmentalists. Careful when you click over! Looks like Bert has been a bad influence on the other Muppets…

Green As A Thistle.com’s post today has a great tip, –>the green hangover cure. Some of us can use this information once in while, right?!

Geoff –>posts on his The Way We Live blog about Google’s new eco-search engine Blackle. Apparently viewing Google’s homepage (which gets over 200 million hits a day) with a black background instead of the traditional white background saves a bit energy. Add up all those visits and now you’ve got substantial amount. What’s truly amazing is that Google did this apparently in response to a blog entry – ahh, the power of the written word, or is that the typed word

Don’t forget: ride your bike to work!
