International Day of Climate Action! 10/24/09

October 24 is the International Day of Climate Action, and if you haven’t heard about it (where have you been?), it’s time to start getting involved.
The global talks taking place in December in Copenhagen represent an opportunity to save the planet from… ourselves. But it looks like participating governments are still a little hesitant to [...]

Organic Farming Could Stop Global Climate Change

Organic Farming Could Stop Global Climate Change

I have to tip my hat to farmers. The work they do is HARD. They wake up before the sun rises and hit the pillow long after it sets. They find sleep somewhere in between worrying about their business and trying to live life. I’m especially inspired by farmers who have taken the extra step [...]

Green Your Halloween!

Green Your Halloween!

These are some great ideas I came across while searching on how to green our Halloween this year.
It’s really not about the candy. Kids have fun when their parents get involved and have fun themselves. Part of being green is focusing on people instead of things, so try to reduce the amount of ‘things’ you [...]

OMG TDI FTW!

OMG TDI FTW!

Too many acronyms for you? In plain English I’m saying that my new Jetta TDI is everything we hoped it would be… The debate on hyrbids vs. clean diesels will go on forever. Nothing I say here will change the way hyrbid owners think and nothing will make me feel differently about the diesel.

The Earthbox Chronicles (part 2)

In some of my previous posts, I’ve talked about some of the steps we’re taking in our home to get more “green”, eat better, and get ourselves off the grid one step at a time…
The Earthbox arrived just a few days after placing the order. I did buy a “ready to grow” kit but since [...]

Long live the queen!

Long live the queen!

I’m not an expert on honey bees but I have seen Bee Movie so consider my shock when I found out these little hysterical bees are vanishing. The crazier thing about it is, we don’t really know why… What we do know is that our entire food system relies heavily on these bees to go [...]

So remember when I was all like “I’m never eating again”?

So remember when I was all like “I’m never eating again”?

I made a big step today and I’m pretty excited to talk about it. I just placed an order for my very first Organic Earthbox and some Organic Seeds!
My family has replaced as much of our diet with organic food as possible but I’ve always wanted to try and grow my own veggies. If that [...]
