...and away from your food!
When my family and I were in Europe for a vacation last summer, we had a quick hotel breakfast one morning. It was the same kind of breakfast you've probably had yourself in a hotel somewhere in the US: a little pastry, a little yogurt, some coffee -- set up...

This morning, I ran the Jingle Bell Run with my daughter to help raise money for the Arthritis Foundation. It's a 5K run through Seattle, and we had a great time. We donned our Christmas caps, ran next to a few Santa Clauses, and contributed to a good cause.
I'd like to challenge othe...

I've been reading Raj Patel's amazing book about the global food system, called "Stuffed and Starved", and it inspired me to do more research on what I'm eating. I try my best to eat local AND organic when I can, or just locally/just organic when both aren't an option....

Something I've been thinking about lately is how there are a lot of wise rules to live by out there. Whether it's The Golden Rule, advice from your grandparents, The Ten Commandments, or the popular poster called "Life's Little Instructions" -- there's a lot of go...

This project is great to do with your kids to help get them thinking about their impact on the environment -- and to actually make a difference, too!
Did you know that the average student throws away about 67 pounds of waste per year from their lunches? For many kids, that's about how muc...

I was reading news articles about the Occupy Movement -- and realized I really did not have a very good grounding about what social justice even is! How is it defined? What's included in the topic and what's outside the topic?
I suspect there are many others like me. So this project i...

Earthquakes, floods, tornadoes--emergencies can happen anytime, and there has certainly been no shortage of them lately. Will you be prepared?
While visiting my hometown in Pennsylvania this week, I learned the effects of Hurricane Irene and saw flooding from the remnants of Tropical Storm Le...

You can certify your own backyard as a wildlife habitat with the National Wildlife Federation. When you do, you even get an official certificate from them, and you become a member of the National Wildlife Federation, too.
This is a great project to do with your kids, as it gets everyone think...

I've been meaning to get to this for some time -- so I thought I'd start an earthbongo project to inspire me and maybe others, too!
My wife and I have done a pretty good job on our house so far as far as reducing energy and water use -- but we still have a shower that seems to blast o...

Want to trade your big bank for an institution that really knows how to make change? Millions of people have already switched from their "too big to fail" banks to local banks and credit unions, and many more will continue to do so.
Local banks are wonderful for many reasons: they r...

Attract a little wildlife to your back yard, offer a treat for birds, and see a bit of nature up close! Here’s a great project to do with your kids.
PS What kinds of seed work best? Do they like the peanut butter, too?

Hey, kids -- does your day feel filled up with stuff you don't want to do --- chores, homework, stuff like that? Wish you had more time for sports? Playing? Art? Reading? Well, we're going to try a little experiment, so get ready! Take one hour this week, sometime when you would have pl...

So I read an article in Sunset Magazine about a woman in California who, come trash day, has NO TRASH AT ALL. I mean nothing. Zip. Zero. NADA. My thoughts ranged from curiosity, to sympathy (she must have issues), to revulsion, to defensiveness (we have LOTS of recycling, thank you very ...

Craft Centre
(kid-led)
by Isabel S.
Everyone should have a Craft Centre. It is a place where you would put old things that you don't need like cans, containers, used tooth-brushes, toliet-paper roles, old sponges, old chopsticks. Then one day one of these things might come in handy. For example my Mom made an advent calender out...
