This morning, after dropping of my kids at school, I saw my son's  classroom notebook sitting on our dining room table. My first thought was to zip back over in my car. Then I thought, "No way! It's a nice day -- I'll take my bike!" So I did the 2 miles each way ...

I thought this was a pretty good article from the LA Times. It's from someone writing a column under the heading "Realist Idealist" and has their experiences as to what worked for them, and what did not, in their attempts at living more ecologically friendly. Here's the link: http://...

Eating less meat has been a vague goal of mine for some time now. I don't want to become a vegetarian, because, well, I like meat! Maybe I'd be healthier by being a vegetarian. But I'm just not ready to take that step. But here's a project that I think can nudge me in the right direction ...



So far, our number of meat-free days is 70.

I took a moment the other day to really look at what's on offer in my favorite grocery store's bulk aisle - so much! It's a great way to both save money and decrease the landfill load, but somehow I'm usually on auto-pilot when I'm shopping, short on time, and so I grab my stand-by packages of h...

Figure out how to recycle a dead laptop so that the parts are not just dumped in a landfill or sent to another country. The EPA has some serious stats on this issue: Only 15% to 20% percent of retired PCs, TVs, cell phones and other electronic devices are being recycled in the United State...
