Dominique Anderson Living Green in the Real World

I grew-up eating pretty well. My mom was never one to feed us lots of meat and everyone in my family believed in eating lots of vegetables. We also didn’t do the sugary cereals, fast food, or sugary drinks. Of course, as I got older, I fell into the “fast food” crowd. I was pretty athletic and never really worried much about my weight. I carried my new found eating habits into college and into young adulthood, where I was less athletic and did worry about my weight. I toyed with being a vegetari… Continue

Martha.Mele'cio.Designs By Marta Martha's 'Top Three Green-Living Tips'

Martha's 'Top Three Green-Living Tips' I have to say that water and electricity is wasted more than anything else...and in my Top Three Green-Living Tips along with recycling. Water usage is not something we take for granted, and with 6 people in one home its easy to use too much. As a family we have come together on the same page to take showers that are 15 minutes or less, use the stopper in the sink when brushing teeth and shaving. In the back yard we use a barrel to capture rain for wateri… Continue

Liseth Araya Our search for True Health Can Never Stop! Answers will come to us

Having been born within the industrial and technological era has definitively brought many positive things to our lives. Clean water, sewers, roads, access to Hospitals and so much more! But also, looking back into at least the 19th century, I must acknowledge they had a few things that I would rather have, perhaps, less pollution, less toxic chemicals filtering our waters and lands, and for sure, more pure and natural foods. The industrialized world has helped us but has also made us somehow h… Continue

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

ecostilettor Reading, Writing and…Pesticides?

What a month. After desperate, late-night trips in search of third-grades’ perfect notebook and fifth-grades’ essential pencil sharpener (“Not that one, this one!”) and endless potty pleadings with the toddler (only to realize that her new school doesn’t require it), I finally got the kids into school. Part-time… Continue
