I promise to help educate parents about the dangers to their kids, pets and the environment with pesticide use. They are not safe or "less toxic". Consumers can make a choice and say no to purchasing and using pesticides. We can use supply and demand to drastically cut pesticide use!

Obstacles: The 30 second commercial sells consumers on the ease of using pesticides. Somehow, we think using a bottled product is more effective than the old way -- hand pulling. But we are leaving so much behind in our water and where our kids play.

I work for Chocolate.com. With Earth Day and Fair Trade Day coming up, I will work to bring more green chocolate chefs to sell their items on Chocolate.com!

Obstacles: We have many wonderful green chocolatiers, but we can always add more, and make green products more readily available to the general public.

I've been adding to my Stephen King collection via local used bookstores, craigslist and ebay. For anything that's not a collectible, I'm using the local library.

Obstacles: The Stones said it best: you can't always get what you want.

I always feel bad when I get take-out at lunchtime, not just because I usually don't eat the most healthful thing, but because it produces so much waste in the form of disposable containers, so I want to stop doing that and start bringing my lunch in the reusable containers I purchased a while back for that purpose.

Obstacles: I forget to make my lunch, I'm lazy, and I would usually kill someone for a chicken sandwich from Al's. Of course, it's not free-range or hormone-free, I'm sure, so that should make me feel guilty, too.
