I think you can gauge it to the person and see how far you can push it. A greener alternative doesn't even have to be noticed (say, a picture frame that's bamboo or FSC wood). On the other hand, ...

As with everything green, you have to consider the trade-offs. Lower electricity use, absolutely. Lower footprint? Don't answer too fast. This could work if you're not a cook with a wide repert...

DivaCup. For all you hesitant people out there (sorry if this is an overshare), I am just finishing my second period with it. I was iffy the first month. I took it back out to try it again the f...

Orrismb, I thought the same thing. The reason we sent it in is that most visitors to our house these days seem to have never seen these before! Candice, it does keep the smell in, and...

My dog loves to run and play in the back yard and flower beds, and also loves to jump onto our bed and nap there during the day. Even though we keep a rag by the door and try to wipe her paws, soo...

Triclosan also gets into waterways and can have negative effects on fish and other organisms. As far as that meaning we have to "live with a few germs," the jury is out on whether soap that includ...

For what it's worth, urine is considered sterile--this is because everything in it has crossed cell membranes to get there (that's why Hollie called it "filtered"). It is (except for water), basic...

I have some apothecary bottles I use for display, and partially fill them with dried flower buds or petals. I leave them on a windowsill and change them when the colors bleach out too much. I hav...

Also, triclosan digrades into dioxin. As if it weren't bad enough as triclosan. Like many other chemicals we use with abandon, triclosan can be found in pretty much every river near humans. Scie...

Because 7 8 9!!

Stiletto Cake.

Oooh, twigs! Because I am a forest biologist and love the smell of the forest (especially when a little wet) more than almost anything.

fresh mozarella and tomato panini.

So beautiful!

I have two best friends, and I think the matching bag and two pillows would be split between the three of us (we do cute stuff like this). The notebook? Could we pass it around and write in it l...

Oooh, pick me, please! I have crummy garden shears and would love to actually have good ones!

Corn and Potato Chowder!

I wouldn't know what to choose, but would love to have that challenge!

I love these!
