In addition to unsolicited phone book deliveries, useless items of crapolla, plastic water bottles, plastic bags and Gilbert Gottfried, few things make me more . . . ahem . . . "enviro-mental" than junk mail.

While the numbers vary from source to source, it's confirmed...

Earth Day is tomorrow. I could give you a song and dance about what you should do (install CFLS, bring own bag to grocery store, move to a wind-powered Ashram), but I'll spare the harangue. Instead, here's a list of what not to do on Earth Day. Sure, you won't...

Did you know that the majority of Americans do their monthly banking by snail mail?

Is Valentine's Day a beautiful celebration of love, commitment and denial?

Dating back hundreds of years, the origins of Valentine's Day--and its patron saint--have long been shrouded in mystery. Though little is known about St. Valentine or Valentinus, one thing is certain: Valentine's Day is not so sweet.

It has long been my habit to start the morning in chaos. If I'm not running incredibly late, I'm cursing my messy room, frantically searching for that matching sock or scouring the hamper for something remotely presentable.

This morning's madness, reached an unprecedented level of pandemonium. After wrestling my...

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom started the fire. In March of 2007, Newsom passed the nation's first plastic bag ban outlawing San Fran's supermarkets and large retailers from offering customers non-biodegradable plastic bags.

Greetings from Park City, Utah! Yes, I'm at the 27th Annual Sundance Film Festival and it's 5 degrees. I'm freezing.
