OK, this really has nothing to do with Astrology but I found it to be just plain cool as can be, and besides I like to knit. As you may know, if you read me regularly or subscribe to my Accurate Horoscope Newsletter - the Environment is my #1 political cause. Earth really needs us to pay attention to her needs. My brief glimpses into 2009 Astrology trends only confirm this and point out the problems that I see coming. But every cloud has some kind of silver lining, and right now, the silver lining is that the way OUT of current financial crisis will come from an ECO-BOOM of green business. All kinds of green business.

So I found this cool blog with a great pattern for knitting a grocery bag. You see, those plastic bags that we get at the store don’t bio-degrade, and they choke and kill wild animals, especially in the ocean. They are truly one nasty little piece of work. So, the alternative is to carry your own. That knitted bag is really cute - way better than what we usually see out there. And if you want to take it one step further, you can actually knit yourself a bag out of old plastic grocery bags! you use the bags themselves as the ‘yarn’. Now that’s creative. And GREEN. Maybe someone out there is enterprising enough to make this idea into an Eco-boom green business?! You’d be smart if you did.
