wicked green

Some may think this is a no-brainer but it is a simple way to save energy. A clothes line would have the same outcome and may give you more hanging area if you have the right space for it. We currently don’t have ample space so we use a rack similar to the pictured one. [...]

We got our first box from Suzie’s Farm! I wrote about joining their CSA in a previous post. Saturday was a big day. It started at the farmer’s market picking up our box along with other goodies and went to Ray at Night later, which is in the last post. We decided to get a [...]

A few of us went to Ray at Night in San Diego last night. It’s an art walk in the North Park neighborhood and it’s on, you guessed it, Ray Street. Actually it spills out onto some surrounding streets and about 40 studios, retail stores and cafes  are open from 7-10pm. It’s on the second [...]

I recently got an ebay gift card and discovered Ebay World of Good. There is an eco-positive category of products to shop. Each item lists the positive aspects of the production along with the third party verification. Green America is one of theses organizations- they publish The National Green Pages from yesterday’s post. You can [...]

The companies listed go through a screening process to determine “its commitment to social and environmental responsibility, and significant action in terms of this commitment” (from page 7 of 201o National green pages).

I have been reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. My husband and I are planning a family. My cousin, a mom herself, sent me this book along with a voodoo doll. We’re hoping one of them works! Back to the book, it basically gives detailed methods of tracking your own fertility to [...]

My husband surprised me with an itouch for Christmas. And I was surprised. We set a small limit for gifts, since I currently have no job, but he put some money aside to get me a great gift. So sweet. And it is very cool. Music is something I love and I previously had a [...]

My friend recently told me about a book she thought I would like, In Defense of Food. She told me a little about it and I plan on reading it- it’s on my Amazon wish list now. One thing that really stood out in her description was to the author’s recommendation to only eat food [...]

Wine is good but organic wine is even better. My husband and I were in France last year and drank a bit of wine while we were there. People told me about the “no headache” phenomenon before we took the trip. It seemed to hold true for me. But there is some debate over this. [...]

The idea of a reusable water bottle is wicked green in itself. But it’s choosing one that gets complicated. I am currently shopping for one myself and I knew there were a few different types but there’s more to it than I thought. It involved quite a bit of research. My last water bottle was [...]
