Thursday, July 8th, 2010It’s no secret that Team Tiny Choices loves the great outdoors– both Karina and I are huge fans of camping, wooded walks, and s’mores– and I think we’d both agree that we feel more grounded, connected, and calm when we’ve had some good quality time with the trees. Turns out, research is starting to prove [...]
Green while Camping Part II
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010Jenn wrote last week about her recent camping trip where she tried to stay as green as possible, and of course because we are in perfect synergy (believe it or not two bathroom posts in a row was not due to a Tiny Choices Content Summit, but simple good luck!)

Dog Days of Summer
Tuesday, July 6th, 2010Have you heard? We’re experiencing a record heat wave here in the Northeastern U.S.– and I don’t doubt that it’s never ever been this hot before, anywhere.

Friday, July 2nd, 2010Friend of Tiny Choices Mike tweeted us a heads-up to that there photo on the right – how cool! a stencil that asks “Got your bags?” So for a fun eco-DIY project, how about grabbing some cardboard out of the recycling (or non-recyclable plastic out of the garbage) and fashioning your own stencil – you [...]
Green While Camping
Thursday, July 1st, 2010I think it’s pretty obvious by now that Team Tiny Choices loves to go camping, seeing as how we’ve written about it an awful lot. Well, I just returned from a few days in the wilds of New Jersey, where I car-camped with friends. This time, we didn’t even need to bring our tents, as [...]
