We all know that the first step in helping the environment is to reduce waste. This means buying and consuming fewer products when you can, and saving energy in every possible way. However, when you do go grocery shopping, buying more can sometimes help the earth more than if you bought less. What I mean [...]
One of the most interesting home products I’ve found on the market today are Eco Balls (also called Washballs or Aquaballs). If you have a large family like mine, the amount of laundry soap and energy used by the washing machine is pretty huge, and obviously not good for the environment, as well as our [...]
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 bet that shopaholics never thought that they would ever hear this, but yes, shopping online is something that is GOOD. I am talking about something more than saving money and being able to shop at great convenience.

On thing I know is that kids love flashlights, or torches, as they say in England. They like to play with them, especially under the sheets, in the dark. The regular flashlights we’ve had throughout the years have been victims of my kids abuse, because when one of my kids get their hands on them, [...]
In changing your ways to greener living, the key thing to remember is: “little things mean a lot” Meaning, you don’t have to go out marching in Washington or move your family to a yurt in the wilderness to save the earth. Take your weekly trips to the grocery store, for instance. Just by being [...]
For years, my spouse, an anti-technology dinosaur, has been preaching the danger of cellphones.
