Kangaroo is becoming more popular in Australia lately - it's more eco-friendly than beef, etc. It's not hard to cook, exactly, it's more that people want to treat it the same as other meats but it ...
My main problem with famous chef/restaurant recipes is that they often forget that home cooks don't have a kitchenhand to do all the prep and wash all the dishes for them! So you end up with very f...
Just wanted to say thanks to passionflower for bringing up the "meat is seasonal" thing. I've been cutting back on the amount of meat I eat for a while now, based on recommendations from Pollan and...
My first ad complaint: On my laptop, in the see-all-pics page, the ad is so huge that it partially covers the first row of thumbnails. On individual picture pages, it pushes the next/back thumbnail...
I've visited a winery where their salesroom was built from wine bottles filled with water, for similar reasons. They had vents that could be opened and closed to circulate the air, and it was very ...
Thumbs up for entering! What a tiny place, and it's clear you've made a real effort to turn it into a home instead of a little box to live in. That said, I think it'd really help if you grouped the...
I feel a little of all three, at different times. I do think my quality of life has improved since I started going green - I'm certainly eating better food, at any rate! I'm also spending less on p...
amynyc, I was about to suggest the same thing. I got the idea from the Discardia website (scroll down to the heading "How do you let go of a souvenir...
Wow, that's a lot of non-profits to choose from! I honestly didn't look through the whole list, I just looked through sections I have an interest in. But I'd agree with Habitat for Humanity, becaus...
suziegoombs, I would think that a fatter spiral would help with larger-sized needles (or maybe a lever-arch file?).
I was thinking that this would be good for organising all the little...
I liked the idea of the book club, but would like a shorter schedule. Or as an alternative, AT Green could post when they start reading a book, giving us notice to either read it too or refresh our...
Even an eco-friendly material can still be turned into a non-eco-friendly product. I love bamboo fabrics, but I'd like to see some kind of certification label to show that the manufacturer hasn't p...
I was also pretty surprised by how easy she found it to make cheese - I'm going to have to give it a go myself, I think.
And I agree with everyone else here: eating out or getting take...
That first photo is gorgeous, exactly the vibe I'd like in my own home. I'm so jealous of the fantastic green homewares shops in the US - here in Perth, Australia, I haven't been able to find a sin...
I've been buying local milk for a while now - I haven't been able to visit the maker yet, but am hoping to do so next time I'm in the area. I'd be very interested to see what their operation is like.

Clever idea, but I don't think I'll ever need to find storage for 17 hand-towels!

I'm in - I should be able to get hold of a copy by the end of March.
That was really good, thanks for the link. Poor Scooby! He could have been given to a charity, or a hospital, but ended up in landfill.
