The Styrofoam cups in the photo aren't very green? Who ever drinks milk in a Styrofoam cup? But seriously, using these new jusgs saves water, but it also creates waste because of the cardboard and ...

Timely question as an article on controlling carpenter bees was recently submitted to my green it! carnival ! According to ...

99% of the time I prefer real grass; however, I played soccer for the first time on turf this past spring and it was awesome. For some reason I had it in my head that playing on turf resulted in mo...

I resisted plastic bag storage options forever, as it seemed wasteful to buy something to store them; however, I finally broke down and bought one of these (same model by the looks of it) and I've ...

I'd say the article is way off base and that our family and many that I know are experiencing the opposite of green fatigue. The fact that being green is more mainstream makes it easier for our fam...

Well, the lady at our car wash didn't know if they re-claim the water, but I'm glad I went, because there is a fox den by the car wash -- and during the wash I got to watch 3 baby foxes cavorting i...

Timely post -- just vacuumed out my husband's car and was prepping to wash it as a way to start off Father's Day weekend...maybe I'll just rub down the bugs on the front by hand and drive over (jus...

I agree. Totally appropriate to restrict children at certain restaurants or at least certain times. A year ago Valentines we (when I was very pregnant) we went to a tiny intimate and expensive rest...

I agree -- offer to pay the difference. And, invite them over for a "whiff" while you are painting. I bet they'll be surprised!

The catch bowl! So much food ends up falling in his lap and then out the leg holes of his high chair! The catch bowl would be a much easier solution than getting a dog, which has been our other con...

Whichever way you go, you could buy carbon offsets through native energy. Enterprise also supposedly rents hybrids, maybe they have Ford Escape hybrid that you could rent and cut out a few trips th...

I think the counter top and most all recycled glass counter tops I've seen are beautiful (and don't look like nougat), but very spendy. I also like the look of polished cement (recycled). And in ou...

on top of the heat lamp on the lizard tank. Just finishing up for ronzo :) My cat prefers to sleep curled in the crook of my arm or my neck. I got my first cat when I was ...

We have a front lawn area that is mixed with some bushes and rocks and mulch. We live in a drought prone area, so the grass is a pretty hardy mix and most of the plants in the rock/mulch areas are ...

Unnecessary.

Perhaps if you live in a place where umbrellas are a common tool. Around here the grass would die pretty quick!

I wonder if they are really ALWAYS the same thing? Earlier this winter I bought an actual rug mat from Target and it off gassed something terrible. Just recently we got a new rug for downstairs, an...

Oh that article makes me very mad! It is nothing but hogwash. I have used AFM safecoat and some other paints over the last few years with GREAT success. And, I have never had to use extra layers or...

I hope that it works! I just planted some sprouted potatoes (and an onion) in my garden last week. We shall see if any of them yield fruit of the earth!

I use the square/rectangular pyrex containers, which stack nicely and have blue lids, bought mine at target for a good price (bonus -- made in the USA). I also use a set of glass bowls (a large set...
