Earth-Friendly Friday

BLACK FRIDAY is a time for shopping - but this year think twice before you go out and overspend. Don't buy needlessly. You'll be wasting money, time and hurting the planet.

This year, instead of buying so many presents, think of giving time to your family and friends. Maybe babysit for an evening for your sister or friend, take the kids to the zoo, or take their dog for a walk. People need time and you can give it to them. You'll be saving money and helping your family or friends at the same time.

Happy Holidays aren't about giving gifts, it's about spending time with family and loved ones.

TECHY TIP - WORD

If you're in a critique group and reading a friend's story, perhaps you print out the page and hand write your comment on the paper. But did you know, all you have to do is click on Insert, then click on comment and type your insight "write" there.

This way you can critique the pages without printing them. This will save paper, money and help protect the planet all at the same time. These are all good things. So try it, you might like it.
