I dig these bags which I first saw at my local Whole Foods. They are recycled billboard banners in fun graphic prints - no two are alike. Further reading on their website revealed that you can send them your used inner tubes (they have a list of which ones they can use) which are then re-purposed as... read more »

Sometimes it takes reading a local newspaper (thankfully the Reader still prints them!) to learn about a very locally made ice cream that's full of flavor and other local ingredients, some sourced from a bakery I know and sold at the Green Grocer. Why hadn't I seen it when I was at the Green Grocer... read more »

Don't let the silly name or logo fool you, they have a large selection of organic and natural fiber clothing. I recognize some of these items from various other sites, but conveniently here they are all in one place for comparison, which I appreciate. The pricing is reasonable, and I look forward to... read more »

It's nice to find a site w/ more organic and natural fiber clothing options than yoga and lounge wear, and these are fun and fashionable. The prices seem reasonable too. I will definitely be visiting this site when shopping for clothes. They feature mens and womens clothing plus a full range of... read more »

I'm only in the first part of this book, but am compelled to tell everyone I know about it. I already knew that factory farming was bad, however now I'm so outraged and certain this evil machine needs to be stopped. Pollan connects the dots between petroleum, fertilizer, monoculture farming, corn... read more »

I've always been a chocoholic, but when I first sampled this amazingly tasty vanilla ice cream, I was in love! It's organic of course, and though not a health food, in small doses I don't mind the fat or calories. It's just so simple and subtle, but packed with pure vanilla, it's far superior than... read more »

Figs are high in fiber and calcium, and can increase antioxidant capacity, besides their amazingly decadent flavor. They feel somewhat indulgent, but I cannot get enough of this spread - on a sandwich, it adds that wonderful hint of sweetness to an otherwise savory bite. But my favorite use for this... read more »

We all need to be conscious of packaging for the products we buy and consume, including take out food and drinks. Stop and and ask yourself is it sustainable or renewable? Will it just end up in a landfill for the next billion years and is that the legacy we want to leave our children? Thankfully my... read more »

I am in search of a truly sustainable, non-toxic, organic body care and cosmetics company. I think I found one of the best so far. CCC is a California Corporation. Their website includes a thorough list of ingredients they do not use, including % contents, and why. Their choice to use certain... read more » ]]>

While Aveda may seem like a good alternative to conventional (ie toxin-laden) makeup and haircare products, don't let their seemingly plant-based formulas fool you. Google any of the mysterious chemicals on their ingredient list, or better yet check their ratings on the Cosmetic Safety Database to... read more »
