I just discovered These beautiful Pixar’s Little Golden Books! and at 2.99 a piece, I am buying all of them! I will justify this purchase by saying that I am buying these for my daughter…and we will just leave it at that.

Despite my best efforts, I am starting to go green. Recycling, carpooling, CF bulbs, etc. I have concerns about carbon emissions, and ground water contamination. But most importantly, I am concerned with the effects of deforestation. We only have so much land on this earth, and we are quickly using it all up. Wooded areas [...]
