Times Square Will Be Lit by Pedal Power
Your focus might be on the ball dropping tonight (and the kiss that follows), but don't forget to pay attention to the bright 2009 sign lighting up Times Square after midnight strikes. That not-so-subtle reminder of another year gone by is extra special this year, because the energy used to power the numerical sign is derived from people!
In a stroke of green (marketing) genius, Duracell invited New York natives and visitors to ride stationary bikes rigged to electric generators.
Ring in the New Year With Black Eyed Peas and Cabbage

Toast 2009 With Dry Champagne
We shall all be ringing in the New Year tomorrow, and for many of us that means a champagne toast, or two, or three. While the average glass of champagne contains 91 calories, I would like to suggest toasting with dry champagne, as sweet champagne is just dry champagne with added sugar. And you all know how I feel about added sugar.
