The Story of Cap and Trade
I absolutely loved the video from Annie Leonard called The Story of Stuff. Now she has come out with another video I love explaining why Cap and Trade is a rotten deal all around. I have been against it for awhile now since it puts the responsibility for cleaning up our planetary act directly in [...]How to Make Your Own Air Fresheners
Air fresheners can be expensive and many of them are too strong or have a chemical smell that’s just not pleasant. Most of them have a smell that gags me anyway but sometimes I do like to spray a little something around the house to give it a festive smell. During the holiday season I [...]5 Natural Ways to Clean and Sanitize Kitchen Surfaces
Food-borne illnesses often begin in the kitchen. Bacteria that tend to live in kitchens include staphylococcus, salmonella, shigella dysenteriae, and e-coli. These germs tend to proliferate on sponges and cutting boards, but they can be on countertops and other surfaces as well. I am less of a germaphobe since my green journey began and I [...]Healthy Cookbook Roundup and Gift Guide
Attn: Giveaway at the end of this post!! These are some of the cookbooks I have picked up of late in order to cook up some delicious veggie meals for hubby and kids. I have lots of great cookbooks to add to my collection and we have had some really yummy meals. I am not much [...]A Green Gift Tradition – Season Passes
A reader was recently asking me about low impact gifts and what I would recommend for kids for Christmas. Well I certainly have my list of green gifts and all that jazz but probably my favorite gift idea is to get season passes for your local zoo. We have done this for years and it is a gift [...]GREEN AT WORK

SIX DIFFERENT WAYS
Luciano Santelli
Combining baroque style with modern influences, this table is at the top of my want list today. Browsing the internet every day and always on the lookout for great design, I see a lot of things I like and today it’s definitely this table. Designed by Luciano Santelli, it’s made with laser cut 15mm acrylic. [...]Springtime
Plenty of your chairs have springs, but you never really stop to think about them do you? Frank Winnubst changes that with this chair he calls Springtime. Developed through research about the various kinds of springs and which create optimum seating comfort, function in this case dictated form. More of an interesting piece than a [...]Cork!
After coming across the work of designer Ryan Frank and his “Free Range Furniture” earlier today, I knew I wanted to post about it. Not only is eco-friendly responsible and right now extremely in, but with Frank’s designs it’s also innovative and practical. Called the Ipouch, this case is made from fabric backed 100% cork with [...]Lampost
This light by Jaren Goh caught my attention, so I guess today we will continue on yesterday’s theme of innovative lighting. Seeming to randomly sprout from their base, these lights combine clean, minimal lines with sporadic, non-symmetrical placement. Sure to be the focal point in any room in which it’s used, the appropriately titled Lampost [...]Pinch Light
Lighting so versatile it suits your mood. That’s what you get with Pinch Lighting, an innovative new lighting concept that lets you clip electro-luminescent sheets of paper to a hard wire clip. Simply clip on new “lights” to change the look of your space. Fun and practical, I hope this concept comes fully to life [...]Made in Hollywood
Saw this over on design milk today and thought you all would enjoy it. These tables come from Made in Hollywood, an Ireland based design firm that creates unique, custom pieces for its clients. I love the incorporation of words into each of these table’s designs and how the word choices are obvious, yet add [...]DESERT BEAUTIFUL
