…of soup, silly!
OK, so in a rare Martha Stewart moment (brought on by the sudden change in weather), I thought I’d share with you a really quick and easy recipe that’s so easy that there’s really no excuse, plus it’s also a great way to use up all those lone veggies that seem to litter [...]

cleaning up our act - a community sets forth…
October 30th, 2008 by lorraine 1 Comment
Whenever I get the chance, I love to get the word out about great people doing great things for the community. It’s all part of who we are, our place in society and on this planet.
I’m also very lucky as I get to live in a great part of the world. Rolling hillsides, just a [...]

Most of us know that making the switch to CFLs can help the environment. But why? And how do we properly dispose of a CFL?
I found a great video today that clearly explains the benefits of CFLs. Check it out:
Let’s say that you’ve now switched over to Energy Star-qualified CFLs in your house and they’ve [...]
do a little dance
October 23rd, 2008 by kristen 2 Comments
One of my friends on Twitter, Steph, is a DJ on Blip.fm. She played a song for me last week that always makes me want to get up and dance (and in general, I don’t dance). Lately it feels like every week is a heavy week, and seeing as we’re rapidly coming to the end [...]
stop with the junk mail, already…!
October 23rd, 2008 by lorraine 1 Comment
Man, I love the green blogging community! I love the way that people with the same goals and aspirations, and who have never met in most cases, can communicate and nurture ideas all for the greater good!
Yesterday we posted an article about the national Do Not Mail petition that hopes to significantly reduce the amount [...]
spook that junkmail and turn your Hallowe’en green!

Cast your mind back about 5 years or so to around the time the ‘National Do Not Call’ registry was created. Public response was enormous and the results spoke for themselves. I’m not sure about you, but the number of telemarketing calls I received went down dramatically and almost immediately, too. It was a triumph [...]

October 15 is Blog Action Day 2008. What is Blog Action Day? It’s an annual event where bloggers come together to talk about an important global subject. This year, we’re talking about poverty. The [...]
KISSing those trees hello
October 12th, 2008 by liam 6 Comments
A few weeks ago, I took a trip to Tahoe to see one of my favorite bands, KISS. They were playing an outdoor gig at Harvey’s Casino. After the 3 hour trip from home, we finally decided to eat. I had been moaning in the back seat of the car for about 2 of those [...]

the holy grail in renewable energy - but is anybody listening??
October 8th, 2008 by trish 4 Comments
If we could just figure out an alternative fuel to power our cars, we could eliminate nearly two thirds of our dependence on foreign oil, but what can take its place and get us standing on our own two feet?
You’ve heard about using corn and soybeans and especially palm oil to create biodiesel but they [...]
