Ghoul, Interrupted On Halloween	Umbra Fisk	22 Oct 2007	Ask Umbra
Dear Umbra, We really enjoy the community aspect of trick-or-treating but we don't want to give out candy to the little ones, or toxic plastic Chinese toys.

How did you keep it economical last year? Let's see, if you were to buy a bag of mini Snickers with 70 in the bag, a ...

Dropping the Ball Times Square New Year's Eve ball goes green		04 Oct 2007	News
Posted at 2:02 PM on 04 Oct 2007 The ball that drops in Times Square on New Year's Eve is -- say it with us now -- going green. This year, the 100th anniversary of the tradition, the fifth iteration of the ball will have an aluminum skeleton and be lit by energy-efficient LED lights. With 16 times as many lights, it will use half the wattage of the last ball. That's the power equivalent of 10 toasters toasting for six hours, for the ...

Everything Auld is New Again On New Year's resolutions	Umbra Fisk	03 Jan 2007	Ask Umbra
Dearest Readers, Happy New Year! Welcome to 2007. Who knows what it will hold for us all.

Wrapper's Delight On wrapping creatively	Umbra Fisk	18 Dec 2006	Ask Umbra
Dear Umbra, Due to my procrastinating nature, I once again find myself in the position of having to wrap what seems like hundreds of gifts in wasteful wrapping paper, only to have it torn apart and thrown away the very next day. I'm a proponent of the "reduce, reuse, recycle" philosophy, but during the holidays, wrapping my gifts in the Sunday comics doesn't say "mindful conservationist" so much as it says &q ...

Presents of Mind On holiday gifts for young folk	Umbra Fisk	13 Dec 2006	Ask Umbra
Dear Umbra, I've read Grist's gift guide, but I didn't see very many ideas for youths and young children. On the other hand, I did like the idea of giving The Lorax, which was mentioned in one of your other responses. Do you have any other eco-friendly gift suggestions for my nieces and nephews for this Christmas? I want to encourage them to appreciate our natural environment, and besides, I figured it couldn't hurt if t ...
