ITHACA, NY - Fifteen local businesses are urging the community to "shop green" this holiday season. Business owner Autumn Newell is leading a 30-day Shop Green campaign to call attention to more earth-friendly choices for gifts this year.
"We're lucky to have so many stores in Ithaca that carry products and gifts that aren't harmful to the planet," said Newell. She and her partner JoJo Alpern recently opened Tuff Soul, which sells organic, vintage, and refashioned clothing. Other stores on the Shop Green list carry locally made, reused, recycled, fairly traded, and organic products, and local foods.

 What's the most prominent thing you notice about mutual fund advertisements?
In most cases, it's the fund's return. Quite often, these returns
are truly eye-popping. But if you look closer at the ads, you'll
see that many of the highest returns are for short periods of time,
such as one year or three years. And a mutual fund's short-term
return is not, by itself, reason enough to buy that fund - so don't
rush to your checkbook.
Actually, a mutual fund's short-term performance may tell you less
about the fund than about what's been happening in the financial
markets. If most stocks rise significantly for a few years, the
chances are pretty good that a stock-based mutual fund is going
to do well, too.

Ideally, our children should learn good behavior from us. But
when it comes to living within our means, and saving and investing
for the future, we're not setting such a good example. Consider
the following:
- Savings are low - The personal savings rate in the U.S. in
2006 and 2005 was negative - something that hasn't happened
since the Great Depression. Thus far in 2007, the savings rate
has crept into positive territory, but it's still anemic.
