~~~~~~~~~~Paper or Plastic????~~~~~~~~~~~
Each year, at least 10 MILLION TREES are cut down to produce the 10 billion paper grocery bags used annually in the United States alone.
The US goes through 100 billion plastic shopping bags annually. And estimated 12 MILLION BARRELS OF OIL are used to make those bags.
~~~~~~~~~~REUSE~~~~~~~~~~ Take a canvas or mesh bag to the store with you. Keep it by the front door, always grab it on the way out. It will become a habit very quickly.
Get off all those annoying catalog mailing lists. Billions are wasted every year on those things that go straight into the trash bin. Billions of trees, billions of dollars, billions of hours in creating them. Get off the catalog lists!

I'm happy to announce that my new album "Songs From The Films Of David Lynch" is out now.
"Truly unsettling and perplexingly brilliant... testament to both the quality of Lynch’s soundtracks and Truax’s talents" - The Skinny
"Truax is paying homage to a kindred spirit with this album. It's the best kind of tribute – affectionate and respectful, but with its own quirks and imaginative leaps and its own distinct identity." -The Scotsman
Merci pour l’amitié ! Je vous souhaite une radieuse année 2009 pleine d'inspirations et de réalisations ;-) Moments magiques & douces joies, Le génie de la liberté
