How to do this Green thing: March 2008
http://howtodothisgreenthing.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
View the virtual ribbon around the earth at planetfesto.org. Tuesday, March 11, 2008. I just saw this Dallas Morning News article. About the the dilemma American Airlines (and I'm sure other airlines as well) is currently working through about whether to replace its old planes with newer more efficient models or hold out a few more years for the next generation of efficiency. If I started using solar panels now, I would be supporting the industry and I would be able to turn some of that sunshine that I c...

View the virtual ribbon around the earth at planetfesto.org. Friday, February 13, 2009. Great NYT article on health-conscious parenting. Thought this article just about said it all about the balancing act we play as parents as we obsess about plastics for our kids' lunches, and then find out that the air they breathe at school might be toxic. This is by an amazing writer, and fellow parent in Sebastian's preschool class, Peggy Orenstein. Well worth checking out here. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

View the virtual ribbon around the earth at planetfesto.org. Wednesday, April 1, 2009. I just got contacted by these guys. what a great idea! I'm with a nonprofit organization called GreatNonprofits. It's a (badly needed) Yelp for the nonprofit world, with the mission of adding transparency and accountability to a sector that desperately needs it. We all love the hard work nonprofits do, but we think there's a place for opinions and reviews by everyday people! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Why are we here?

How to do this Green thing: BPA liners in cans at Trader Joe's
http://howtodothisgreenthing.blogspot.com/2008/09/bpa-liners-in-cans-at-trader-joes.html
View the virtual ribbon around the earth at planetfesto.org. Friday, September 26, 2008. BPA liners in cans at Trader Joe's. I use canned beans and tomatoes regularly in cooking, but have become increasingly concerned with the BPA liners. So I was researching which, if any, brands don't have the liners, and kept coming across claims that Trader Joe's didn't use BPA liners in their cans. What does that mean for my habits? Singing the praises of reanimating your own garbanzos, which gives me more reason to...

View the virtual ribbon around the earth at planetfesto.org. Friday, May 2, 2008. OK, I know I am showing my elitist, blue-state bias even more than normal.but who ever said that we bloated, eco-centric, short-sighted Americans have a God-given right to drive our gas-guzzling monstrosities as much as we want.WITH THE CHEAPEST GAS POSSIBLE? How many few cents extra would you put in to account for the disappearance of the polar bears? How about the many other species on the verge of extinction? About a yea...

I lamented the difficulty of accurately assessing the true environmental cost of most things, and how tricky that made choosing between options when faced with decisions such as paper or plastic, real or fake Christmas tree, new hybrid car or existing relatively-good mileage vehicle, organic or conventional mattress, and so on. And worth a read. Thursday, February 14, 2008.

http://howtodothisgreenthing.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
View the virtual ribbon around the earth at planetfesto.org. Wednesday, December 12, 2007. How to calculate the true cost of things. I just read this New York Times article. About weighing the true impact of shopping and eating habits. In short, it looks at the ways in which eating locally is and isn't the best option from an environmental standpoint. For instance, I found an answer to the real or fake. Really less than just leaving the old one as it is for now? Is there a true cost website? How to do th...

View the virtual ribbon around the earth at planetfesto.org. Thursday, July 10, 2008. Bridging the gap between farm and table. Just finished this quick read about Community Sponsored Agriculture (CSAs) in the New York Times. The article, titled Cutting Out the Middlemen, Shoppers Buy a Slice of Farms. Takes a look at the growing trend of people finding more direct relationships with their foods and farmers. Really, I think this is going to take a concerted effort on my part to create my own personal seas...
