7 Sexiest Green Stars of 2007
The results are in! Well, not really. This list is based on my humble blogger opinion. Use the comment section to claim which celebs float your green boat. With enough feedback, I hope to compile a list based on “popular,” not personal, opinion. Sheryl Crow 2007 was a great year…
Green Gifts for All the Lovable Weirdoes in Your Life
You know those lists of gifts everyone has now? They’re killing me. So I had to make my own because my friends and family are a motley bunch, and the usual stuff (even the usual green stuff) isn’t going to cut it. Plus, they have high expectations because I am…
Why Greenfest? Here's the Answer
by Guest-blogger Katherine Cure Katherine Cure sipping organic fair-trade coffee from one of the second-hand mugs that were available for use during Greenfest “Greenfest? What’s that?” the tanned middle-aged East Bay native eating next to me asked, as I outlined to him my reasons for coming to San Francisco for…
Mask It Up!
Let’s just say my skin’s been in better shape. Partying (or is it networking?) too many nights, crashing on couches and in random (hey, not THAT random) beds and being a full-time student, blogger and freelance writer (not to mention getting pancaked for TV appearances) means I’m dealing with more…

ECO LQ (Lifestyle Quotient): What life stage were you the "Most Eco"?
It’s often difficult to keep up with the Jonses on all this “Good Green Citizen” stuff. For the majority of us out there, we can’t possibly give all we got, but we can do things in our everyday life to make a difference. Where we are in our life, how…
Blogging and Feminism Panel
The Panel on Blogging and Feminism in NYC was really fantastic! I didn’t make it to the EO Wilson talk, but I know Starre did! So she’ll have more on that I’m sure. [Picture originally uploaded by Liz] Liz, who does regular blogging here, did some live blogging for the…
"Natural" Beauty
It’s always good to be reminded that what the popular media deems “beautiful” is, at times, not only questionable, but false. This film, made by the Dove Self Esteem Fund, shows the ‘evolution’ of beauty at the hands of stylists, photographers, gaffers, editors, and graphic designers…
