So you’re not into the iPhone. You’re not alone. While I still consider it to be my dream phone, I do realize that it is not the only phone out there. In fact, Google’s Nexus One seems like it’s going to give Apple a run for its money. For those of [...]
I am supposed to be camping in this isolated island right now. I had been planning this weekend trip with friends for about a month and it really is a pity that I had to pass out on the trip. That does not mean that I will not go camping again in the [...]
Halloween is around the corner! Have you taken steps to make sure that this holiday is an eco-friendly one? If you didn’t know this already, fun holidays like Halloween are some of the most wasteful times of the year – think of the amount of new costumes, decorations, candy, and pumpkins consumed…..then the waste [...]
You’ve heard these people – they say that global warming is NOT real. That it’s all a myth created by alarmists, by people with vested interest. Even when Al Gore came out with his popular documentary, many people remained unconvinced that global warming is a real issue.
Those people should sit up and pay [...]
How often do you buy hair products at the supermarket or drugstore? Do you even check the labels to see how these products impact the environment? The average person rarely does that – usually, the most important thing is for the products to “do the trick,” right?

One of the mantras in my household is “Wash your hands please”. When the kids get home from school, before mealtimes, before cooking, after playing, after touching the pets and so on. But when you’re out of the house, using water and soap obviously isn’t the most convenient thing. And the solution a lot of [...]
I think its wonderful that Earth Day is getting big around the world. Just a few years ago very few people even knew what it was, let alone celebrate it, but today, as early as March, I have been getting emails from people and groups to start planning for the event.
In my community, [...]
Surrounding your home with chemical-fighting houseplants is a wonderful thing to do for your family – not only does it rid the air of some major toxins (like I mentioned in my last post), but it also makes the house much more attractive.
Just one large houseplant produces enough oxygen (through photosynthesis) to clean about [...]
