Our spare room/guest room/home office/craft room is a windowless cave and will soon be a nursery. My thought is that other than sleeping, the baby will be spending very little time in the actual n...

1) your choice to use energy wasting bulbs directly affects me by contributing to green house gas emissions 2) coal power plants produce more mercury to power incandescents in their current f...

From what I understand, the process of making products other than bottles is different, which means that even #1's and #2's melt differently when they're not in bottle form. the #1 and #2 deli con...

I don't know if vaneers are more environmentally responsible than solid wood with all the glues and what not. Follow Elissa's suggestion for FSC certified wood or, even better, Michelle of Montrea...
