Virginia, Sexual Healing and New Shirts!

First things first, check out our new shirts! (all organic, btw)



While we are tooting our own horn, look at this rockin' f-bombs that we are selling in Virginia (red columbine, purple coneflower, and lupine bombs, because Glenda in a hardcore research mode found out the best native flowers for each region we travel to. She's pretty swell like that)



Now that Venus is direct again, some of you may still be waiting for your love life to straighten out. If this is you, then take inventory--are there things you want to do for you? Dunno? Well, you should check out a couple of these websites. Your wish list and your Venus will thank you.
We love everything that's good, clean and fun...check out the good, clean candles and reselling sex toys (!!) geez, talk about good for the gander! Here's another site if you don't believe us. Maybe you are looking to invest in a more sustainable sex gadget. If so, check out Sola, a solar powered vibrator (and you don't have to do your business in daylight for it to work, we already asked). If you and your honey wanna have a more ethical kind of sex, check out French Letter condoms at Ethical Superstore. A percentage of the proceeds go to ensuring that runner plantation workers receive fair wages, so as Alec Baldwin's character in Outside Providence says, everyone gets their cookies. Or, check out vegan condoms (by Glyde) that are made without milk protein and are not tested on animals. (Condom-testing on animals might be amusing though...)



All right, we are about to bounce out of C-dale. Harrisonburg, here we come! ....Virginia is for humus

Want Past Playlists? Then you should post....

Hey faithful friends and listeners to "The Composters" (previously known as "Take a Look at What Mother Nature's Wearing") on Carbondale's community radio station, WDBX. Glenda and I are finally hip to the times and using the mixer on our radio show, so no more clunky non-green CDs for us.

So, we have playlists on CDs from the past two years of our radio show. Do you want one? If so, you need to respond to this blog by stating your name and three of your favorite artists and we will try to give you as close to a custom-made mix as we can muster from our binders of over 100 CDs (or mixes, if you write a sweet note we will definitely take that into consideration).

We will be giving out our mixes for the rest of the month of April.

Hop on it!

Musically,
Mary Mercury

Climate Change--in Plain English--April 7

This week, just a month after 12,000 people demanded a Power Shift in Washington DC, Congressman Henry Waxman and Congressman Ed Markey introduced a landmark climate and energy bill: the American Clean Energy and Security Act.
------
Today (as in, Tuesday April 7th, 2009) Americans can get a plain-English debrief on the Waxman-Markey draft bill from 4-5 PM. Call 1-888-299-4099 Verbal Passcode (to be given to the operator): VB32555. Once we are in Q&A mode Press *1 to ask a question. Press # to remove the question from the question queue.

I (Mary) got this email yesterday that promoted this phone call as a way to provide break down key pieces of the bill to make it easily digestible and develop a shared understanding of how to talk about it moving forward. This call is being set up for organizations, organizers, and top volunteers working on climate, green jobs, and energy. This briefing should be understandable even for people who are relatively new to the climate issue.

Please pass this info on to anyone you think could benefit from the call.

Prevent the Worst of Global Warming: Climate Bill NOW

The U.S. Congress just passed a stimulus package that includes strong provisions promoting renewable energy and energy efficiency – an important down payment on our country's transition to a cleaner energy future.

As Congress turns to critical legislation to set a limit on our global warming pollution and make polluters pay for their emissions, we need your help to tell Congress that effective climate policy must:

* Reduce global warming emissions swiftly and deeply, and ensure a rapid policy adjustment in response to emerging climate science;
* Make emissions cuts affordable and achievable by investing in clean energy, energy efficiency and programs to protect consumers and workers;
* Fund programs that reduce global warming pollution caused by tropical deforestation, which accounts for 20 percent of global emissions; and
* Exclude loopholes that would let polluters delay or avoid emissions reductions.

Comprehensive climate policy can curb global warming while breaking our dependence on oil and putting Americans back to work. Please tell your lawmakers to pass a strong climate bill immediately.
