We know more plants save the planet, but some of us need an expert opinion on greenery, an idea for getting the most from your landscaping or garden supplies. There's the two-day 2007 Green Industry Conference & Trade Show, which begins Wednesday at the Blaisdell Exhibition Hall, with speakers and panelists from Hawai'i and across the nation, as well as demonstrations. (Admission: free. Parking $4 before 5 p.m., $5 after 5 p.m.; www.lichawaii.com.) Speakers include Jim Gibbons of Wynn Resort Las Vegas, discussing landscape design and maintenance.

FINAL WORD
"People talk about cravings as if they're a bad thing. I'm not so sure. I think cravings are cool. They're a sign of life. A symbol of potential. A portal to opportunity and change."
