Yep, I did it again, and this time I got caught red-handed. It’s ok though because I was caught by a friend who would have done the same thing if she had seen it first. This morning there were 2 pink Pottery Barn Anywhere Chairs out with the trash across the street. WHAT!?! Who throws [...]

Posted by jen on August 12th, 2010
This year, send your students to school with supplies that have been reincarnated. That’s right ”green” your back-to-school shopping with products made from recycled plastics using “green” manufacturing processes. Once limited to smaller, more expensive brands, name brands are jumping on the bandwagon and offering your favorite supplies made from recycled materials. Check out these green supplies I found while [...]

Posted by jen on May 28th, 2010
I am a huge advocate for carrying reusable bags. I carry them everywhere — the grocery store, Target, the mall, the outlets – any time I shop I have a shopping bag with me. It is such an easy thing to do, I talk about it all the time in hope that others will adopt [...]
I am a Trash Picker…
Posted by jen on May 21st, 2010
Ok, it isn’t as bad as it sounds, but I did feel really weird about it. You may remember my previous post about how much my neighbors toss in the trash, and my rant about how much of it could be donated or recycled. This time I decided to do something about it. When my [...]
Recycling isn’t just a Buzz Word
Posted by jen on April 30th, 2010
On a walk with my daughter the other day, I became increasingly bothered by the trash lining our streets. It was trash day, so to be expected there was a trash can at the bottom of every driveway – that wasn’t what bothered me. What bothered me was a peak inside my neighbors’ trash. Now before you [...]
Seventh Generation Review & Giveaway
Posted by jen on April 9th, 2010
“No, I will not clean my house with harsh chemicals that trigger my asthma and pollute the air my daughter breathes.” I made that pledge to myself and my family when I became pregnant with my daughter in 2007, and it has become increasingly easier to keep that pledge as more products come on the [...]
Free Bag of Sun Chips
Posted by jen on March 5th, 2010
Last night my husband brought me a page torn out of a magazine he was reading. It was an ad for Sun Chips and its new 100% compostable bags – he knows how much it means to me to buy things that are good for the earth, so he knew I would love this movement. He [...]

Posted by jen on February 2nd, 2010
When you are married to a tech guy, such as I am, gadgets have a short shelf life. We go through new gadgets, cell phones, TV components, faster than I can learn how to make them all work! But one thing we seem to stick with is printers – maybe that is because I am [...]

Posted by jen on January 19th, 2010
When was the last time you used a traditional phonebook? Can’t remember? Me neither. But I can tell you the last time I got a new one, just a couple of weeks ago. What did I do with it? Straight to the recycle bin. But what if I could stop the cycle before it started [...]
Making Our Home Green
Posted by jen on November 23rd, 2009
I have been part of the “green” movement since I was in elementary school. Even back then, I decided it was cool and necessary to recycle and pushed my family do adopt the practice. (I am happy to report that after much prodding, my dad finally puts his cans in the recycle bin!) While I [...]
