We ordered our CSA last week and can't wait for the great veggies and berries this summer! A CSA is a wonderful way to support local - healthy - agricultural while lessening your carbon footprint. ...
I have a problem buying these soaps. Yes, they're eco-friendly, but only to a point. Why waste all that packaging (the bottle) for soap? I always go the bar in the recycled cardboard box route. Cer...
This is the best wrapping paper alternative list I've seen! I love the look of nicely wrapped gifts, but can no longer let myself waste all that paper. I'll def be sewing some reusable shopping bag...
I blogged about Verdier's VW Bus yesterday. It is the best camper I've seen! The cute home theater system seems like the perfect compliment to a day full of hiking and BBQing - doesn't that sound p...
I worked on an environmental committee at my previous job and we were campaigning to get hand dryers instead of paper towels in the bathroom. After lots of research, they seemed like the more eco-f...

Installing a faucet pedal will help - it keeps hands free and saves even more water by cutting out the time it takes to turn the faucet on and off with your hands.
I find that if I am hand-washing sweaters, I will start with the lightest (in color) and move to the darker sweaters so that the pigments left in the soapy water don't affect the lighter sweaters. ...
I would much rather use a towel than paper so, the switch seemed easy to me. For guests? I place kitchen towels (a couple of them) around the kitchen so they're easy to get at. I find this curbs my...
But if we NEED to save the emails, is printing them and then deleting them a viable alternative? I'm sad to say that I sometimes print emails I need to save and then delete them from my mailbox.

All of the above Hand a copy of my apartment key & mail key to my neighbor - in case of emergency.
But if we NEED to save the emails, is printing them and then deleting them a viable alternative? I'm sad to say that I sometimes print emails I need to save and then delete them from my mailbox.
I would sleep forever in these sheets. LOVE them!
