Virtual Jobs for Green People

Guest Post by Lori Stewart - http://greengigs.blogspot.com/
I am a SAHM, former science teacher, current freelancer, and work-in-progress green being.  One day last summer, as I was filling my none-to-eco-friendly minivan with $4.34 per gallon gas, while thinking about the load of laundry I had to get off the clothesline before it rained, and listening to [...]

Farm Fresh Tips and Dip

One of the things that I miss when fall comes and winter is on the horizon, the fresh veggies from the local CSA and farmers market. Last year the local CSA provided a weekly newsletter with recipes and tips, it was so helpful. Through these newsletters I have learned:
Eggplant is a relative to potatoes, [...]

What does organic, romantic and bathtime have in common?

Bathing my children, it’s a nightly routine. It’s calming for the children and for me, I like to have the children smelling clean. Sorry, I just do. I always took a bath nightly and so do my children. They bath together and we don’t use very much water, so were conserving. Using a non-toxic, [...]

Plastic Grocery Bags: Everyone has some!

I know that the proper green phase is “reduce, reuse, recycle” and that they are in the order of importance. So the best thing would be to use less plastic grocery bags.  And we do - a lot less.  However, I do not think I will ever get my husband to take a cloth bag [...]

BPA FREE Giveaway from The Soft Landing

Giveaway has ended! Congrats to comment number 42!
The BPA and plastic issue…it’s too much. The information is right in front of our faces and we still have a ruling from the FDA backing it, despite the flawed reports. The Smart Mama just wrote a post all about the FDA and whether science and the facts [...]

My Tap can Make a Difference

All week long it has rained. I’ve sat at the window watching the water, that I could be collecting in a rain barrel. Wondering more about the water rights and the Utah law on not being able to collect rain water. Wondering about my own conservation and the difference I can make. If I were [...]

Gratitude, Trust and Listening

Listening. Some of us hear what others are saying but we don’t listen. Do you hear the wind and listen to the sound it makes? I usually don’t but listening to nature and the natural environment around us, it should be the same as listening to people. Not just hearing but listening. If I don’t [...]
