This week we are out on the patio and Val thinks it's a little chilly. She even wore a sweater. Besides tasting beer and organic chocolate chip cookies, we also taste water that's packaged in a bottle manufactured from a 100% renewable resource, corn. We share green choices for Halloween treats, and talk about some extremely interesting dog items. We get down to business with xeriscaping, choosing quality materials, and incorporating salvaged or reclaimed materials for green building. We finish up with some of your great listener emails.

Biota Spring Water: This water is great, doesn't taste like plastic. That's because of its great bottle.

Beer of the Day: Monty Python's Holy Grail Ale - Find this great Ail at Eurobrews

Chocolate of the Day: Ok actually a cookie with chocolate in it... Chocolate Chunk Cookies from Back to Nature.

For the Dogs: The Wow Car from Honda - built especially with your dog in mind and artificial testicles for dogs, really.

Green Halloween: Green Halloween Treats that kids will really enjoy.

Programmable Thermostats: A great easy way to reduce your costs during the winter. With a programmable thermostat installed, you will decrease the amount of energy used to heat your home, by keeping your home cooler during the hours no one is home.

Lighting: A great way to save money on your Electricity bill is to use Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs as an alternative to traditional light bulbs. Very Hip.

Cool Music: Our very cool music today was by Johnny Rome. We played part of two of his songs - Sail and Green Girl. You can get information about his music and his podcast at JohnnyRome.com.
