Ivy is a great plant, but if you want something more sustainable and productive you could look into grapes, passion fruit, or other creepers that produce fruits or vegetables. Also many liittle creatures alot of people dont like take shelter in ivy.

Hi! just wanted to say (although many of you may already know this) that Ivy reduces polution by nearly 90%...I'm currently trying to turn my city balcony into an ivy grove!

wow great group! I agree, if people just change some of their habits even a bit, it helps immensely

I love how easy it is to be green. If every person did just one little thing every day it would make such a big difference. Some things I do is, I make a local, organic lunch and walk to meet my boyfriend everyday. It's about 2 miles each way and that adds up over time. I ride my bike a lot too. I also always purchase organic and eco-friendly yoga gear. I know there are a lot of sites out there that have it, but my favorite is http://www.YOGAaccessories.com They are so affordable for eco-friendly and organic yoga gear. I love my Recycled Mexican Blanket and my Gaia Yoga Mat.

Hi All! What wonderful comments and ideas. Glad to be part of the group. Blessings :)
