Monday, March 8th, 2010I stumbled across this neat webpage that non-vegan readers may appreciate: the Where is my milk from? page. I am excited to find this reference, because as someone who tries to lead a more thoughtful omnivorous life, it’s nice to be able to double check and verify where the food I buy at the grocery [...]
Easy Peasy Tip: Don’t waste the Soap!
Saturday, March 6th, 2010Occasionally many of us travel for business or for pleasure, and we may find ourselves staying at a hotel or motel. Now, you’ve probably noticed that there are many complimentary little packages of soaps and shampoos and shower caps and drinking cups – all tiny, cute, handy, and also disposable! If you’ve got favorite toiletries, [...]

I know! so fraught with shadowy grey areas of environmental danger! OK, OK – not to be overly melodramatic about things, but cooking pots are something that I can’t really wrap my [...]
Crop Mobs Descend
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010Have ya’ll heard about Crop Mobs? They’ve been getting lots of press lately. The concept is so simple, so beautiful, and so exciting: From Grist: “The Mob is essentially a group of young people of all ages… who alight upon an area farm once a month and do a whole bunch of work together: weeding, [...]
Power Outage!
Monday, March 1st, 2010We had our share of that nasty weather that’s been going around this winter this weekend – where I live I got about 30 inches of snow from Thursday through Saturday. Which, you know, NO BIG DEAL. Sure our driveway is about 170 ft long, and kind of steep at the bottom, but we’re young [...]
