Garage Sales & Car Rental - Two Unrelated Tips

Just a note - since it is garage sale season, make sure you go and check them out. Guthrie and I needed a little radio/CD player for the kitchen since we can't really hear the news while we're cooking. Stumbled upon one in working order for $2 and I found a wonderful house dress for $5. We also got our garden rake from a garage sale. Though we didn't find the TV antenna and someone else bought the desk chair out from under us, it was fun and a great way to keep things (that you need/want around the house) out of the landfill.

Also, Guthrie and I just had to rent out first car for our anniversary trip to Austin, TX. Though very liberal by Texas standards, they did just get their first train. We got the smallest car we could and are also trying to offset our carbon footprint through this program offered by Enterprise. Here's what they say at Enterprise:
-----------------------------------------------

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Offset

Enterprise Rent-A-Car is pleased to offer you the opportunity to benefit the environment by offsetting greenhouse gas emissions generated by a rental vehicle.

For just $1.25 you can offset emissions produced by the average rental. The money will go to TerraPass to fund certified offset projects that work to remove carbon from the atmosphere.

What's more, we will match these customer contributions dollar-for-dollar up to $1 million dollars.
