+I was just reading the latest issue of 
+<a href="http://www.homepower.com/">Home Power</a> 
+magazine, which is celebrating 20 years of publication with this issue.
+One of the articles, by Kathleen Jarschke-Schultze, talks about the value of
+reusable cotton bags for shopping instead of accepting the usual "paper or 
+plastic".  It caught my eye because my wife Karen is an avid cotton-bag user.  
+Kathleen ends the article with an idea that I think is worth repeating:
+
+<blockquote>
+<p>
+So how about this new etiquette:  Conservation in everything except courtesy
+and generosity.  Seems like that would be a refreshing change.  We all need to
+just put one foot in front of the other to keep moving forward on conserving
+global resources.  Even if it is slow or small, take that first step.
+</p>
+</blockquote>

+I like that.  Conservation, courtesy, and generosity should never go out of style...
