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 and [...]
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 [...]

Posted by jen on November 2nd, 2009
I am so excited about CVS’s new program to encourage people to use reusable bags. Not only will you earn ECBs by participating, but every time someone participates bags will be saved from the landfill and energy and resources will be saved because the plastic bag won’t have to be made in the first place.
So, here is [...]
Save Money & the Planet at Target – Use Reusable Bags!
Posted by jen on October 26th, 2009
I converted to carrying reusable bags about a year ago. I started slowly at first because I thought it would be a pain, but suddenly once I was doing it I was all in! Today, I have a whole arsenal of reusable bags – ones for the grocery store, ones for the mall, mini ones [...]
Recycled Plastic Tote
Posted by jen on August 24th, 2009
I once read, “If you aren’t buying products made of recycled materials, you aren’t really completing the cycle and recycling.” That statement really struck home for me. I am huge recycler, I am proud to say that we overfill two bins each week of recyclable materials and not even one full trash can. I have [...]

Posted by jen on August 6th, 2009
I guess I have been a bit out of the loop, since I don’t spend much time in the office any more, but UPS has introduced a Reusable Express Envelope. I love it! I have always hated those 1-time-use packs, bringing them home with me to be recycled. Now you can use them 2xs — [...]
Recycle Your Ink Cartridges for Charity
Posted by jen on July 27th, 2009
I have always been “into” recycling, but the birth of our daughter kicked that up a notch. In our house, we are lucky enough to have great curb-side recycling that picks up all plastics, glasses and papers, but there are still things I can’t recycle (as easily) that it kills me to throw away. I [...]
