I personally prefer to use home-made wheat paste glue. I use pastry flour and not only does it hold well and not get sticky, but to remove it you just need to soak it in water and scrub. Book resto...

I almost never use a disinfectant for anything. I tend to rely on the soap and water method. However, on occasion, I feel like I really need something like this. For instance, we're l...

I don't think Whole Foods came out on top. I think they just listed the brands alphabetically. As 365 is a number, it was listed first.

I use a piece of scrap paper. I roll it the long way, use a working burner to light the end of the paper on fire, and then use it to light the burner that's gone out. I like to keep my hands away a...

I was under the impression that a lot of the rainforest clear-cutting was for animal agriculture. I'm sure it's both to a degree. I'm a strict vegan for animal rights reasons, health ...

the FTC is suing a number of bamboo manufacturers because the chemicals used to turn hard bamboo into something soft and cloth-like is not Eco-friendly, like many of the producers of bamboo fibers ...

I need to go visit my grandparents in San Diego later this month. There's not much I can do to lessen the footprint of the trip, but I bought a relatively eco-friendly swimsuit, and am bringing my ...

I've been digging on those EarthLust water bottles for awhile now. I like the designs much more than other water bottle companies.I just ordered one from another store, and I'm so excited to get it.

I think you could have a pattern so long as it was monotone. IN your price range, I bet you could find a ton of great chairs at ikea. I'd suggest nothing too bulky, and something with clean, elegan...

I think it depends on the type of fly. In a house I recently rented, they had an indoor planter that got infested with fungus gnats. You can do a search online and see if these little guys are the ...

I shop at etsy, because I prefer giving my cash to someone who needs it and deserves it. I also like to be able to talk to the people who are making the things I buy, to ask questions about materia...

New Belgium also makes an organic beer called Mothership Wit. I've had organic beers I've liked better, but it's still pretty good.

Well, I just used some borax and sugar syrup to kill ants. It is supposed to be pretty safe for cats, unless they eat a ton of it. Other than that, it might be irritating to the skin if you get a b...

I'm vegan, so no chicken for me, but my organic valley soy milk has the same feature. Type in the code on the carton, and one gets back all the farms the soy beans came from, often with bios of the...

Also, one of the active ingredients in dryer sheets is animal tallow -- also known as animal fat. Not what I want on my clothing. I control static with a light mist of water.

I went and I read this post, and the original "frittata incident" on the kitchn. I wish I had seen the original post, because I worked in a higher-end culinary store for years. ALL no...

I try and buy only sustainable and organic clothing when I'm replacing things. My shoes are all from Simple now, and my clothes come from a variety of places -- local sustainable stores and the int...

Well, I like it. Our cats go crazy for cardboard boxes and paper bags. I could try and make it, but I think it would be harder than it looks. It's the most sustainable, affordable cat...

How about a mix of the ideas above? I think the cord cover up it kind of ugly, but I like the idea. I'd say buy a new chain (I don't think it would look that bad even if it was silver), and then ma...

re-nest / AT / Unplugged: Buy some of these in bulk with your logo on them (maybe just the red squiggle?) and then sell them on your site. As a graphic designer, I rely on these someth...
