ONLINE:"Medium" creator Glenn Gordon Caron will host a chat Monday at 1 p.m. at http://washingtonpost.com/discussions.

Super Natural

Patricia Arquette, who grew up in a commune, said she began to think more ecologically after a trip to India last fall.

"I came back realizing how much we consume and how much more we're making," she said. "In India, they live so much more environmentally."

Now, Arquette said, she's striving to be more Earth-friendly. "I'm trying to get rid of all my electric clocks, put my computer on a shut-off, [trying to] power down everything."

An admitted pack rat, Arquette said she spends her days off trying to clean her house. "I don't know how much paper a person can receive, but I'd like to cut down," she said.
