Beyond Milk Crates: Q&A with Deana Bracken
Not too long ago, Starre asked me if I would do a Q&A with Los Angeles-based green interior designer Deana Bracken. Honestly, I felt a little skeptical at first—if only because I consider milk crates furniture. (As long as I can set my book or my beer on it, what…
Durabook!
I don’t usually just come on and link to things, but this is just way too cool!! A totally recyclable, tree-free book!! I wish there was some sort of way that I could trade in ALL of my books for these ones! I lost an entire copy of Watership Down…
The Complete Organic Pregnancy

The Good Life, Greenified
Danny Seo is usually referred to as the ‘green’ Martha Stewart, but that’s not really true. For one thing, Ms. Stewart is no slouch in the ecologically-conscious department. She always promotes farmer’s markets on her shows and in her magazines, she frequently advocated for organics, is pro-open space, and uses…
On Walden Pond
Walden Pond I was swimming today at Walden, the pristine pond in Concord, Massachusetts that inspired Henry David Thoreau, when another New England nature writer, Pulitzer Prize winning poet, Mary Oliver, came to mind. When I was younger and spent more time at the pond, I liked to memorize and…
Ms. Green Jeans
Check out this interview (from Grist) of Tierra del Forte, the designer behind Del Forte Denim. The questions after the jump are a little more ‘fun’ than the first few shown here, so read on! 24 Jul 2006 What work do you do? I’m a designer and the founder of Del Forte…
