http://thegreenbetween.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 21, 2012. Norman, the Eco-Friendly Cat Hero. As cute as this video is, it is also trying to shed light on the state of Canada's seas. The takeaway: Try to buy seafood products harvested using methods that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ecosystem for the future. Look for the MSC label. Links to this post.

The Green Between: How I Shop
http://thegreenbetween.blogspot.com/2014/07/how-i-shop.html
Sunday, July 20, 2014. So, I've been trying to buy almost everything I can from bulk bins to eliminate disposable packaging. This is the system I've rigged up for myself after some trial and error. 1 First, I grab a stash of empty cloth bulk bags. (I've made some of my own from an old ripped bed sheet, and also bought some of these. Note that I've written a different number on each bag with a permanent marker. This comes in handy later. 5 I use an app on my smartphone called ColorNote. Tip: ColorNote all...

The Green Between: Beverage Showdown
http://thegreenbetween.blogspot.com/2011/01/beverage-showdown.html
Sunday, January 9, 2011. Over the past month, I've been making the switch from Mountain Dew to coffee. For those of you who know me, this is a big deal. A Bit of Background. So, what's the problem? I could continue to drink one 20 oz Mountain Dew every morning for breakfast for the rest of my life. There could be worse things in the world. But.I've started to worry about the waste involved and the environmental implications of my splurge. One 20 oz Mountain Dew every weekday morning, and possibly one or ...

The Green Between: October 2012
http://thegreenbetween.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 12, 2012. Sandwich Bag Drying Rack. I decided to start reusing sandwich bags. This seemed like a daunting task, but then I discovered this pin. I decided to make one of my very own, but I was even lazier and eliminated the rice. Voila! One glass (that I can use for other purposes when not in need of a sandwich bag dryer) wooden skewers (that I got in a swap) = Easy peasy. Links to this post. I'll be the first to admit it; the new bike rest stop on the Ohio to Erie Trail. Links to this post.

The Green Between: Green Gift Guide
http://thegreenbetween.blogspot.com/2011/12/green-gift-guide.html
Saturday, December 10, 2011. Everyone else is doing a holiday gift guide, so I figured I might as well throw my suggestions into the mix. These bags are super cute, durable and hold just about anything you need to cart around. I use mine for trips to the grocery store, the library and just about anywhere else. It's a spoon. It's a fork. It's a knife. It's all three in one! I know it seems a bit unromantic, but this thing would make a great stocking stuffer for a new home owner. It works, I swear. I heart...

The Green Between: By Hand: Unplugged Utensils in the Kitchen
http://thegreenbetween.blogspot.com/2012/11/by-hand-unplugged-utensils-in-kitchen.html
Saturday, November 24, 2012. By Hand: Unplugged Utensils in the Kitchen. Using non-electric utensils in the kitchen is not always practical or preferable, but sometimes going old school isn't so bad. Here are my favorite non-electric tools for the kitchen:. Growing up, we always had an electric can opener. Not until I went to college did I find out that opening a can was just as easy with a hand-cranked can opener. Added bonus: it frees up prime real estate on the counter top.

http://thegreenbetween.blogspot.com/2012/11/what-happens-when-you-try-to-reuse.html
Tuesday, November 13, 2012. What Happens When You Try to Reuse, Recycle or Reduce.and Fail Miserably. Somy MacBook (circa 2007) was starting to run slow. It wasn't the worst thing, but I use my computer A LOT and it was getting to be somewhat frustrating, especially when I was trying to edit large images with Photoshop and so forth. I went ahead and shelled out a few hundred dollars and brought it home. Immediately I realized that it wouldn't hold a charge when not plugged directly into the wall....Anywh...
