Going Green by Sign:
Continued
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Become a conscious entertainer, Libra. Use compostable partyware and serve organic wine and cheese. Green your kitchen by switching from toxic, Teflon-coated aluminum pans to stainless steel, and use energy-efficient light bulbs. Stop being a dual-emission family and share one car with your spouse. Wear the latest fashions in natural fabrics like hemp, cotton and raw silk. Buy gorgeous, organic cotton bedding like Gaiam's, sustainably made by Indian villagers.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Be a secret agent of compassionate change, Scorpio. If you're an architect, design partially underground homes that save on heating and cooling bills. Or, become a tuned-in technician creating wilderness corridors for endangered species, or a midwife birthing babies naturally. If you're new to green consciousness, recycling your plastic bags and water bottles is a good place to start. Or, use your research skills to write letters to the editor to demand change.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Green your traveler's lifestyle, Sagittarius, by vacationing locally -- the farther you fly or drive, the more carbon dioxide emissions are produced. You can even camp sustainably with the latest solar oven, hemp backpack and solar cell phone charger. Or, go solar at the homestead by producing your own energy with photovoltaics or wind turbines. Not only will you slash your heating and cooling bills, but you may even be able to sell energy back to the utility company!
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
To reduce the ecological imprint of your business, Capricorn, teleconference rather than meet in person. Fill your home with the antiques you prize instead of furniture made from endangered tropical woods. Make sure your house is super-insulated, and buy more efficient windows and appliances when they need to be replaced. Use natural earth plaster and paints on your walls. And, switch to organic chicken and beef for the well being of yourself and the planet.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Make the most of your community-minded nature by sharing rides with friends. Or, join together to plant trees in urban areas (a mature tree can absorb roughly 49 pounds of CO2 a year). Join a group like StepItUp07.org, which organizes rallies and walkathons to demand action on global warming. Do research on Tribe.com to find a green yoga studio or sustainable-harvested bamboo flooring. Or, make a radical lifestyle change by moving to a yurt.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
You're extra sensitive to contaminants, Pisces. Be sure to use natural disinfectants in your pond, pool or hot tub. And, make your home as green as possible: Use crystal salt lamps to purify the atmosphere and shower filters to prevent toxins from entering your system. Eat only organic fruits and vegetables, and use herbal remedies instead of prescription drugs when possible. Water is your element, so support local efforts to clean up oceans and streams.
