My sister and I are two totally different types of people and we live crazy-different lifestyles. However, we both like to be green and we do talk about all kinds of personal things, like feminine products. So when I told her that Lunapads.com had approached me about reviewing their eco positive period products, she told […]

Review: No-Spill Insulated Kids Food Container by Contigo
Posted on November 17, 2011 Written by 2 Comments
We have been using inexpensive reusable plastic containers in our kids lunches for a number of years to be as waste free as possible. We have generally been using Ziploc or Glad snap together containers to send food in for their lunches. Now we love (and they demand) the Contigo Kids Stainless Steel Scout Food […]

We have been on the search for good reusable water bottles that don’t leak and that we like for a long time. Last winter we discovered the Contigo 17 oz.

Do-It-Yourself Halloween Decorations
Posted on October 27, 2011 Written by 2 Comments
My neighbors put out a number of Halloween decorations and my children wanted some too. I politely explained to them how I don’t believe in using electricity to shine lights on decorations or to blow fans to make decorations stand up. I also explained that it wasn’t good for the environment to go buy a […]

Posted on May 7, 2011 Written by 4 Comments
Do you do a lot of dry cleaning? The most “Green” thing to do if you do a lot of dry cleaning is to stop. However, if you have a very formal workplace and wear suits a lot, that’s probably just not possible. In that case, my suggestion is to find a green […]

Greening your Camping – Reusable Utensils
Posted on March 22, 2011 Written by 4 Comments
Camping is one of those times when you commune with nature, so why would you be less environmentally conscious when camping than at home? Unfortunately, a number of people use disposable plasticware while camping and then throw it away or worse, burn it in the fire. People argue about the health implications of using plastic […]
No Spill Reusable Coffee Mugs
Posted on February 25, 2011 Written by 2 Comments
We drink coffee every day, but we don’t regularly buy it at coffee shops. To be honest, we avoid the coffee shops more because we can’t stand to spend $3 on a cup of coffee than because the environmental impact of all those single use coffee cups. I especially hate those styrofoam cups that our […]
Calming the Wrapping Paper Madness

This morning I read a blog post on Practically Green about how to avoid mountains of holiday trash. It’s a good article. You should read it and take the quiz on Practically Green. Love the site.
