In our area you aren't allowed to put solar panels on your roof because it would ruin the look of the neighborhood!

For example, in Virginia, only a small percentage of your electricity may be supplied by natural resources. If you want electricity then you have to use the big power companies for the majority of it-by law. You are right, though, it takes dedication and a commitment to change on a small level and a belief that that commitment will snowball.Whitney Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766231420593480962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809185710327113434.post-64585217044923442732013-01-11T21:55:00.419-05:002013-01-11T21:55:00.419-05:00Erin I agree, thought, word and deed.

It is interesting to see how excited people become when they encounter them.<br /><br />Jinksy, I will see what I can do about the WV.<br /><br />Steven, I agree with your dad. Everything that I bring back from Nepal goes through archeology and is stamped before it leaves so that we know that it is not something that really belongs in a museum. We do not want to create a market for stolen artifacts. I would much rather create jobs for craftsmen living now.Butternut Squashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14703748547994069092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809185710327113434.post-35739831146579113742012-10-19T20:44:56.143-04:002012-10-19T20:44:56.143-04:00i've always wondered about thse bowls . . . my...i've always wondered about thse bowls . . . my dad visited tibet and nepal several times and spoke about them but was reluctant to bring back "artifacts" as he called them . . . i know why and it's no judgement on anyone else who treasures and cares for objects from those regions . . . thankyou for this enriching story butternut!!! stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809185710327113434.post-13610461455296847022012-10-18T10:41:58.041-04:002012-10-18T10:41:58.041-04:00I love my singing bowl, whatever it's made fro...I love my singing bowl, whatever it's made from, and wherever it was 'born', and can understand how a whole warehouse full of them would make you take your time! :)<br /><br />But could you not be kind to comment leavers, and remove that bothersome word verification?
