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...

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.
That article is silly - the Grinch thought he could stop Christmas by taking away everyone's toys and decorations, but people realised they could have Christmas without them. I think greenies are m...
In Australia we have the double-button system, but I really like the diagram above the handle for this lever system. The number of drops makes it quite clear what will happen :)
Great idea, chenoameg! It looks lovely and simple.
We actually got quite a lot done on the weekend, but aren't finished yet. The new desk is in place, with a lamp and all cords tidied ...

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.

There's some easy wins in that list: I don't own a Hummer! I don't have gasoline bonfires! Some are much harder though :)

The microfibre dust mops don't send the dust flying... give them a try sometime.
