http://www.greenphonebooth.com/2014/05/unpaving-paradise-starting-wildlife.html

Wednesday, May 21, 2014. Unpaving Paradise: How to Start a Wildlife Garden. From the bean of Green Bean. I make my home on the San Francisco Peninsula - on the crust of Silicon Valley.

The Green Phone Booth: Replacing your face wash with raw honey

http://www.greenphonebooth.com/2013/02/replacing-your-face-wash-with-raw-honey.html

Wednesday, February 27, 2013. Replacing your face wash with raw honey. It's true. I wash my face with honey. Although I am in my 30s, I am frequently frustrated by skin that looks like it belongs to a highschooler. Over the years, I've tried pretty much every wash on the market and haven't really found anything to help. If it cleared up my skin, then it dried out badly. I didn't dare use a moisturizer, though! Moisturizer brought the breakouts that "necessitated" the face wash in the first place! I keep ...

http://www.greenphonebooth.com/2012/08/when-rain-took-on-new-dimension.html

Sunday, August 19, 2012. When rain took on a new dimension. In which raindrops falling on Truffula's head became a (re)discovered resource. Back in the day, I loved to read. I read on the couch. I read in the car. And in the summer, I read. out on the driveway. in the rain! What I didn't know then was how I'd also learn to (re)love rain in the forecast. It's not "bad" weather (except when I'm in the midst of my public transportation commute! I'm also more in tune with the seasons. Before the winter f...

The Green Phone Booth: Droughts and the Water Crisis

http://www.greenphonebooth.com/2012/08/droughts-and-water-crisis.html

Tuesday, August 14, 2012. Droughts and the Water Crisis. Most of the US is currently under a drought, including my state, Oklahoma. Oklahoma is mostly under an extreme drought. With a tiny bit under a severe drought left and a growing area under an exceptional drought, which is the highest level. Oklahoma is currently under a state of emergency as well a statewide burn ban, due to the drought. That summer we had to be put under a water emergency at one point, yet people still didn't follow the rules.

http://www.greenphonebooth.com/2015/05/what-not-to-do-in-drought.html

Thursday, May 21, 2015. What NOT To Do In a Drought. From the bean of Green Bean. I'll bet when you clicked on this link, you thought it would be full of overly watered lush green lawns, hosed off sidewalks and water sprinting down the gutter. Here is an obligatory photo. Please do not do these things in a drought - or at all, ever. There are a number of measures taken in the name of water conservation, however, that you really really should NOT do either. 1) Turn Off Fountains and Empty Birdbaths:.

The Green Phone Booth: Water Conservation, Green Phone Booth Style

http://www.greenphonebooth.com/2015/07/water-conservation-green-phone-booth.html

Monday, July 6, 2015. Water Conservation, Green Phone Booth Style. A hot, dry summer and a hazy, smoky sky have got the Climate Crusader thinking about water. Yesterday evening, as I was making the 45 minute drive home after dinner with my in-laws, the air was filled with hazy smoke. There are wildfires burning nearby, following a hot, dry June and even hotter, dryer start to July. Here in the Pacific Northwest we're more known for our 'liquid sunshine' (a.k.a. rain) than actual.
