Over the years I’ve been consolidating my stuff. As appliances and computer peripherals have died I haven’t replaced them unless they were an absolute necessity. My mircrowave died and now I just cook things that don’t require a microwave (which is healthier anyway). Another piece of machineryI haven’t had for years is a scanner/fax. With [...]
This week’s #ecomonday suggestions come from one of last weeks green Twitter stars, @SheaGunther. When Shea tweets, you listen, so check out Olivia Zaleski and Karl Burkart, two prolific Green tweeps…
If you venture deep into the rain forest of Cherrapunji you’ll find these amazing examples of natural architecture, root bridges. Cherrapunji is one of the worlds wettest places covered with rivers and streams.

Gardening is one of the most rewarding home hobbies you can do. It’s fun, sustainable and you get healthy, tasty results. A lot of people like the idea of gardening but find excuses like it’s too time consuming, it’s too expensive, they don’t have enough space, blah blah blah. There’s no room [...]

It Means nurturing locally owned businesses which use local resources sustainably, employ local workers at decent wages and serve primarily local consumers. It means becoming more self-sufficient and less dependant on imports. Control moves from the boardrooms of distant corporations and back into the community [...]
I was reading some comments on an organic gardening post in which apartment dweller were lamenting that they don’t have the room to garden. Don’t tell that to Mike Lieberman (@CanarsieBK), the force behind UrbanOrganicGardener.com. Actually, I’m sure he’d be happy to hear from you and he’d share some great tips, like these upsidedown hanging [...]
If you’re on Twitter you are probably familiar with #ecomonday (if you’re not, check out the Twittervore’s Dilemma) a Monday tradition of recomending good eco-friendly tweeps. The problem is that the list of good green tweeps is long and people just blast out tons and tons of suggestions which is hard to keep up with. [...]
This video is the most bizarre way to say “respect nature” and “live and let live.” Personally I hate bugs, they creep me out. I realize this isn’t rational and I respect nature so I generally suck it up and live with them. When it comes to particularly offensive looking spiders and wasps (I hate those [...]
