Street Books - Madame Bovary Gustave Flaubert

Found - Central Park, NYC
Picked up because - Its a classic

In the days of high speed Internet and cable T.V. its hard to realize how monotonous life was back in the 1850's. In France at the time there was a big difference between everyday life and the popular novels. Gustave Flaubert wanted to point out this fact in his first novel "Madame Bovary." In this story a young Doctor marries an older widow his mother picked out. Then he becomes a widow himself, ah such is life. When he meets the young Miss Bovary she marries the Doctor. He moves from one small town to a slightly bigger town in northern France, near Rouen in Normandy to please his new wife. The book is told through his "eyes" till this point. Then the reader gets into Madame Bovary head. She wants luxury and romance, but gets bored with her not so sharp husband. Walk with her down the wrong road of infidelity and debt. This bestseller of the 1850's was put on trial when it came out for "offenses against morality and religion." The story of longing and seduction is considered a masterpiece. Reading it now over a century latter the themes seem to echo forward. After all life might be different but the struggles of love are the same.

Greedaid -- Change for Change

Here is a great idea on how to bring the green back into our inner-city neighborhoods. This company makes "Seedbombs" that are dispensed by candy machines. This is a way to use your change to make a real difference. This mixture of clay, compost, and seeds will take that vacant lot and bring it back to the green side of the spectrum. By anonymously throwing this green explosion one can make what was gray and empty green again. This is as much about awareness as it is plants. If some of these derelict urban site's become randomly green it makes people think. Maybe we could be using this space better. If this does not help support public gardens and green space, what does? They will send you a "SeedBoumb" Vending Machine anywhere. The best part is that they are all ready out there. From the street and all you have to do is put in your change and make a change in what surrounds you.

D.I.Y. Shower Curtain

Using fabric to decorate will soften and add texture to any room even the bathroom. Here is a quick and easy way to add color to even the smallest of bathrooms. It is not hard to find scarfs around. They are in abundance at Thrift stores, in lost and founds everywhere, or maybe an old closet. Just pin together Scarfs that match in some way. Then use big safety pins to connect the scarfs to the rings of a plastic shower curtain. This can be any plastic shower curtain.Like the ugly ones they sell at dollar stores. No one will know because the outer layer is beautiful fabric. Silk scarfs work well, they dry fast. If you would like to change the look just find different scarfs. One,Two, Three and your done.

CouchSurfing

You can not take a couch into the ocean so just put that out of your mind. No, that's not what CouchSurfing is all about. To be a couch surfer one does not even have to know how to swim or be close to the water. This is a internet sight that helps traveler's get around the world by staying on couches, in extra rooms, on floors and sometimes camping in front yards. This is the green way to travel. No extra energy used to cool/heat a hotel room. No mass amounts of linens to wash every day. No electric signs or all night lights. No small plastic shampoos and extra soap. Just nice people that want to share their culture along with their homes. Why would you give your money to big corporations or strange motels. Hostels are one way to travel and most of them are as green as they can be. Most hostels leave you with a nice bed and a small breakfast, but no more outside help with checking out the city then a map. Some hostels are great but booked. With the help of this site you can stay with locals and they know the skinny on everything worth seeing when you are short on time. The important thing to do is have a full profile and join your city's group. Then you get to meet fellow surfers when you go out where you live. Make connections, friends, and get a good sense of the world by meeting surfers from all over. Hosting is fun and pretty safe because of how well the site is put together. If you don't get to see other countries then bring those countries to you by hosting someone from that side of the globe. This is a new and greener why to see the world.

Grub - A Community Dinner

One way to be green and promote the community is to have a Grub. This is kind of like a potluck/gathering that is good for you and the environment. Some people that have them now are active in other community projects like Food-not-bombs and Really Really Free Markets. You can join them at their table or set up one of your own. Just collect food that is wasted, or bring together ingredients from everyone's kitchens. Some food co-ops could help with this kind of neighborhood dinner. Volunteers can be asked to show up early to help cook. Others can stay and clear the plates with full bellies. This is a way for people to meet and have a easy going good time. The whole DIY approach is refreshing. Small gatherings can bring lots of people together in a big way.
