Happy Monday everyone.

To get the week started off with a fun distraction, we thought we'd direct you to a lively conversation happening over at AT:NY. The question (in case you haven't seen it yet) is: Are you irrationally attached to your stuff?

And, more of what's happening here this week after the jump ...

We'll be bringing you more thoughts on green escapes -- more destinations and more tips -- as Escapes month comes to a close.

Also, make sure to stay tuned -- we'll have a new green home tour for you later this week.
