Alameda celebrated Earth Day at Washington Park. Earlier in the week I saw an ad in the local paper stating that the electric company would swap your energy grubbing halogen lamp for an energy saving floor lamp. Well I happened to still have one these halogen lamps- yes I know...anyways Mara and I headed down to the park (I rode my bike and Mara walked- we are serious bout saving energy!) and in return received a nice looking floor lamp. I'm really happy to have gotten one of the lamps since the electric company had stopped giving them out years ago. I'll say one thing, it was really alot of work putting that lamp together and squeezing the white cord into the narrow post!
There were all kinds of displays and handout about being more energy efficient, responsible recycling, and I even traded in some batteries. Happy Earth Day! Let's all do our part and be kind to mother earth and perhaps ride your bike or walk today! Besides gas is inching up on $4/gallon!!! Who can afford that?

That lamp was hard to put together, but it's worth it! I love having a nice bright light in the living room so I can knit.
