Lucky day. As I mentioned in my Paper Towel Challenge Update, I’m adding to my dish towel collection to make sure I’m always stocked up.
I didn’t expect to find organic dish towels at Target, but there they were. They had both organic mop towels and flour sack towels. I chose a 4-pack of the organic […]
One thing that frustrates me about apartment living is that I don’t have control over things like choosing Energy Star-certified appliances. In this post, I’m talking about apartment renting. If you own your apartment or have a special arrangement with your landlord, you may have more flexibility.
Here are a few suggestions to help you live […]
Remember our new semi updated series? Well, this week we have some new cool non-Tree Hugging Family green posts for you from some of the other places we blog.
And a quick note from Peggy: You’ll notice that a few of the links below will lead you to b5media’s Junk Creation. I just started blogging at […]
Real Simple has a nice little list called: 101 New Uses for Everyday Things.
While not everything on their is green enough to be deemed perfect, it’s a pretty nice list, especially the ways to use lemon, newspaper, and coffee filters. Especially if you recently made the switch to a reusable coffee filter, and still have […]
I HATE when people call me “Jen” I usually won’t answer. I don’t know if Peggy hates being called “Peg” but guess what, my title rhymes! Neat-o. It could almost be a song. Now that would be cool. Actually someone did write a song for me once, and it had stuff about squirrels in it, […]
Many of us are welcoming spring today, so I thought it would be nice to go over some nature loving, tree hugging, eco-friendly ideas that will carry the entire family through the better part of spring and into summer.
1. Quit looking at nature through your frosty windows. It’s warming up, so get out there and […]
I’m a bit conflicted about magazine subscriptions. Part of me says, bad — magazines kill trees. But, as a writer who tries to write for these publications, isn’t it strange to not support them? What are my other options?
Currently I don’t have any subscriptions, so I check magazines out from the library, or I cruise […]
One of the best ways to eat less meat as an adult is to love vegetables as a kid.
Look for these books the next time you go to the library:
Oliver’s Vegetables. Oliver learns that there are other foods besides french fries.
A Turkey for Thanksgiving. Well, not really. The book is a fun portrayal of a […]
One resource I chose to help me with my quest to eat more meatless meals is Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything Vegetarian. I have owned his How to Cook Everything for years and have been greatly impressed. I won’t exactly call this a cookbook for dummies, but Bittman explains everything. And I do mean […]
If you want to pick just one day a week to not eat meat, pick Monday because saying Meatless Monday is fun.
Meatless Monday is a national health campaign to help prevent health problems caused by eating too much meat. The website offers recipes, health and nutrition info, tips, recipe e-cards and whatever else you […]
