High Environmental Hopes Riding on Obama's Green Promises!

Congratulations to President-elect Barack Obama and his team with messages of hope and pledges of support rolled in today from environmental and sustainable business groups across the political spectrum. The Sierra Club said in a statement, "If the Obama administration is as smartly, deliberately, and thoughtfully run as his presidential campaign, our country and our future are in very capable hands." Obama declared in his victory speech, "We cannot go back to the old way of doing things." The groups agree and each organization - from the investors of the Ceres Group to the grassroots members of Defenders of Wildlife - has words of advice for Obama along with their congratulations and compliments.
Many groups are reminding Obama of his pledge to make clean energy his top priority, to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil, kickstart economic recovery, create millions of jobs, and curb climate change. (To read the full article, please click on image)

It's the End of the World as we know it but don't run for the hills, Curby's here!

If the $700 billion financial rescue plan is meant to restore investor confidence, so far it isn't working. The Dow Jones industrial average at one point fell as much as 800 points on Monday before paring those losses by the end of the day. The Dow ended down 369.88 points to 9,955.50 — the first time it has closed below the 10,000 mark in four years. Stocks in the U.S. have been down in the past four trading sessions and we are defiantly in for some tough financial times ahead. We're all going to have to get a lot more creative about how we live and Curbsidebooty is going to try very hard to find ways to save you money on everything from computers to your weekend entertainment. Just stick with us and we'll see you through this mess ~ Curby
