GreenDeals Daily

Step right up friends! I come before you this fine day with an idea. A way of summarizing some of the best green blog posts of the past week for easy consumption by young and old alike. I call it the Carnival of the Green, and by gum, it's really taking off! Blog carnivals have helped put cities like Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook on the map! Why, just last week they had a great big carnival over at Eco Joe's and next week, the carnival's demisemiseptcentennial will be celebreated at Green Living Online.

And now, without further ado, I bring you the 174th Carnival of the Green:
