Christy Aune Have an "Eek-O-Friendly" Halloween

Nowadays Halloween is big business. Almost $6 billion a year is spent on costumes, candy, decor and other accessories, most of which are made from unhealthy, unsustainable materials, by people who may not be paid living wages or treated fairly. Most of the stuff – what isn’t consumed – winds up in landfills. It is time to get back to basics and have good clean fun! GreenHalloween is a non-profit, grassroots initiative striving to crea… Continue

Heather Earth Prommise: Paperless Stationary: A Sophisticated Alternative

It takes a giant leap for some to go completely paperless. At work, some may begin to scan all their colleagues’ buiness cards into their computer; others may invest in an electronic records retention system. What about at home?

Although many of us tote around some great reusable cloth bags and there are countless anti-plastic campaigns for us to partake in, we still need to put pressure on the plastic bag industry.

greenandhealthy 10 Easy Eco-Crafts for Kids

I love to craft and my kids love it even more, but I’m not particularly fond of the kits you can buy at the store. On top of being kind of pricey, they also have far too much packaging and leave far too little to the imagination. I prefer to use materials we have on hand like from our recycling or our backyard. It’s easier on the pocketbook and easier on the Earth. And, I love how it’s transformed my daughters’ definition of trash. Actually, my youngest one has become quite the collector and I… Continue

Heather Earth Promise: Think Twice About That Pizza Box

When people see me at birthday parties or holiday gatherings, they think I’m watching their every move when it comes to recycling. (OK, maybe I do cringe a little when they have a stack of Styrofoam cups on the counter). It is a delicate balancing act between educating a… Continue

Heather Earth Promise: Reuse What Mother Nature Provides

Living in south Florida, it is the norm to have a downpour at some point during the day in the summer months. I leave my watering cans out so they can catch the raindrops, giving me ample water to quench the thirst of my plants. This, then, allows me to reduce my consumpt… Continue

Diane MacEachern Marmoleum, the Eco-Friendly Flooring: Awarded 3 Green Purses

When it comes to choosing flooring for your home, you might not even know eco-friendly options exist. But for over 100 years, Forbo has been manufacturing Marmoleum, an all natural linoleum.

Heather Earth Promise: Cosmetic Recycling Helps Our Landfills Look Prettier

Here’s the scenario: you finish your moisturizer, eye-shadow or lipstick and look for the chasing arrows to see if it can be tossed in with your other recyclables. You find nothing (most of the time) so unfortunately it ends up in the landfill. An earlier Earth Promise post on Aveda’s recycling cap program advised you to bring solely bottle caps to your participating Aveda. “This includes… Continue
