Are you into green design or know someone who is?
The very popular Holiday and Spring Fair events at the Grand Central Terminal in New York are going green. The competition judges — world-renowned designers and architects — are looking for a green design that incorporates and highlights the historic integrity of Vanderbilt Hall.

First I show you a cute bag, then I tell you it’s only available at Whole Foods stores in northern New Jersey, New York and southern Connecticut until the end of April.
But hey, if you live there, you can help out MillionTreesNYC, a citywide effort to plant and care for one million new trees […]

GreenBiz News has a cool story about plastic bags, or rather the cease and desist of plastic bag use by some companies.
Turns out that IKEA will be halting plastic bag use by October in their U.S. stores. Good news since plastic bags are one of the worst items ever in terms of recycling. People simply […]

The United States Postal Service recently launched the pilot program of Mail Back, allowing customers to send small electronics and inkjet cartridges to recycling heaven without charge.
That means you don’t have to pay postage for a change. Has the post office ever allowed us to mail anything for free before? I can’t recall that. You […]

Even if you only go to the Environmental Film Festival website to see the cute frog logo, it’s worth it. If you need more motivation, you can watch some film clips on the site.
If you are going to be in Washington, DC between March 11 and March 22, consider catching some green flicks. I […]

I can’t get these Smurf-blue eating caps out of my mind.
I saw them first on Inhabitat a couple of days ago. It seems that these babies aren’t really for sale yet as far as I can tell, but they did win a prize in the Dining in 2015 contest by designbloom.
I understand and applaud the […]

This week in, “Why are they even discussing this news” - some people would just love to allow loaded and accessible guns in public national parks. (insert cussing if this was not a family blog). Seriously people; this is unbelievable. I don’t know about you, but at least 95% of the time when I’m at […]

I don’t remember the last time I got excited about a colander, but this thing is just sexy. And it’s not just sexy because it is made of recycled plastic. Oh, no. It was designed by Evo to look like a strawberry.
Also notable is the super-curvy food-storage container that was inspired by a Granny Smith […]
