		<description><![CDATA[End of summer. Back to school. Big sale at the mall. Labor Day has come to mean something quite different from what it was originally intended. The holiday was created in the 1800s by a New York labor union as &#8220;a day off for the working man.&#8221; It became a federal holiday in 1894 and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don&#8217;t hate me for saying this, but I think the ungodly high prices of gasoline this summer just may have had a positive side-effect. I know, I know. It was hard, painful even, to pay upwards of $5 a gallon. Maybe you even canceled a vacation, a weekend road trip, or a drive to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I grew up in the &#8217;70s, with hippie parents who made regular trips to the local recycling center. I remember it as a treasured time spent with my dad, who always let my sister and I jump into the dumpster filled with magazines and rummage for good stuff. So for that reason, recycling is not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whoever says bananas are the perfect fruit, I have to agree with them. I love bananas. I love everything about them, their taste, their smell, that cute little package they come in. They contain every single one of the eight amino-acids our body cannot produce itself, in addition to being a good source of fiber, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I knew it! OK, I didn&#8217;t really know it in the sense of knowing it. But I definitely knew there was something really bad about granite and now I know what.
You might remember a previous blog I wrote about granite kitchen and bathroom countertops, the gist of which was basically that they don&#8217;t rock. My [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have this one cloth grocery bag I got as a freebie at last fall&#8217;s San Francisco Greenfest that I like a lot because it&#8217;s sturdy, with a good shape, good handles, and it&#8217;s a pretty shade of green. But I don&#8217;t necessarily like using it because of what it says on the side: &#8220;My [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Corn-fed beef raised in the Midwest. This was proudly printed on the menu for a pretty nice restaurant I was having dinner at the other day. The claim puzzled me.
