@ la bloggia:

Hé,hé,hé!! Ainsi est l'humain... un être de contradiction! Manifester pour la planète sous les lumières de Noël!
My, my! C'est plus qu'un 12 of 12, c'est un reportage!

Toujours intéressant! ;¬)

recycling comes more naturally to me than watering the damn plants... it seems something always more important comes up...

Watering your houseplants is a good start! I remembered to put the recycling out (in the bin) today...next challenge will be remembering to put the bin out on collection day!

@ dogeared:
i wouldn't agree with them, as i shut off the heating, and opened the patio door, even if it's below the freezing point, much to the pleasure of my kitty. it is after all her first winter. you should have seen her during the snowstorm!!!
as for this month's theme, the original one would have been all of the xmas decorations in the downtown district, but in the light of the current event, i opted to change it, as i felt it was more important.
happy holidays!!

I like Christmas lights, and I like celebrating it, so I think it must be possible to do both that and make a green point to the politicians. I try to keep my energy usage down, but I live in a house where 2 people want the heating on high all the time. I'm scared for the bills...

Thanks for showing me Montreal at Christmas!

Sorry I missed you last month....life got in the way of comments. As always, I enjoyed your view of the day. Take care, and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

@ chris:
well, here in quebec, the environment, as pretty much everything else, is a point of contention between the federal and provincial governments as we have quite different views on the issue and diverging policies. we are more "green", even if not everyone here embraces it, it is gaining momentum. the afternoon rally had a good crowd, but the vigils at night were...discreet?!? i would have hope for a stronger presence, but every gesture counts!! i thought these people were brave to stand there in the cold for a cause.
if i may dare a comment about the lack of interest in texas for the summit copenhagen: the strong presence of the oil industry in your state could be a factor...
i'm just saying.
thanks for dropping by!!

@ jill:
i like to change my blog's header on occasion. gives it a seasonal look.
as for my commentary, i thought it was a bit ironic that i'd like to save the planet, but i'm hard put to remember the bit of greenery i maintain at home...
:D~
happy holidays!!

Yes, we have the LED lights, too -- I know they use less power, but I don't think they're as pretty as the other kind.

Interesting to see all of the protesters in Montreal -- Austin is supposed to be such an activist city, but no one here seems to be talking much about the Copenhagen conference at all. It's very ironic.

Nice 12!

@ eliane zimmerman:
i'm with you on the energy consumption, but these led lights use less energy than the traditional ones, i think...
personally, i keep a low profile as far as these things go. i do decorate but it doesn't involve much electricity nor much space.
now, do you understand my ambivalent feelings? between the xmas fever with all of its excesses, and the fight for the survival of this planet. couldn't find two ideas more opposed to one another.
:D~
season's greetings!!

T - you are awesome! I loved your commentary on the day - protesters and the need to water your plants. Priceless!

Not sure if your title photos is new (new since last month, right?), but it and the other photo with the "electric light" effect is very cool.

Happy Holidays!! See ya in 2010.

Cheers,
Jill
