New Year’s GreenSolutions
Right after Christmas I always start thinking about how I need a serious cleanse from all the holiday eating and drinking, not to mention all the junk clogging up my brain from seeing people I haven’t seen in so long, travelling all over the East Coast and generally ignoring healthy…
ENN: Environmental News Network
For the last few years I have received a daily newsletter from ENN, the Environmental News Network. It is a great resource for those seeking environmentally oriented news, without the slant of corporate media. Covering everything eco-related, from an international perspective, ENN features daily news as well as updates and…
Hug Your Local Eco Blogger
Recently I’ve been noticing a lot of great new environmentally-oriented blogs popping up that are local in focus, a trend that I think is really important for creating change. It’s all fine and good to know what’s going on in the world, but just as we’ve all learned about supporting…
Two More Mountaineers Lost?
As I prep a January climb of Mt. Whitney, I’m hoping that 2007 will be a less deadly year in the mountains than 2006. Just a few days after the search for three Mt. Hood climbers was called off, I heard today that the mountaineering community is raising money to…
Thank You for Not Smoking
While, admittedly, there was a brief time I smoked cigarettes regularly (hey, I was living in Spain, give me a break), I’ve always found it EXTREMELY maddening that not only do smokers foul the air, but they toss their butts all over the damn place. I live next to the…
An Itsy-Bitsy Teeny Weeny Solar-Polka-Dot Bikini
I’m loving this bikini (except for the fact that you can’t wear it in the water- doh!) recently featured on Treehugger. It can keep your beer cold and your iPod running- while you get a tan to boot. Just in time for resort season!
Evergreen Makes a Difference
Evergreen State College in Olympia , WA has taken on the rarely addressed issue of college students with mental disorders. Their facility and program emphasizes another aspect of the importance of a clean and healthy environment. We are all greatly affected by our environment and when one is hyper sensitive…
Tired of Drinking Water?
Especially in the winter, I don’t really enjoy drinking good old H2O, except after a workout. I don’t want to ingest anything too sweet, or milky either, so I drink ridiculous amounts of herbal tea (sadly, I cannot handle caffeine). Now I’ve found a few new additions to my repertoire…
100-Mile Challenge
What cute Turkeys! I like to see them scuffling through the leaves in the woods, not on a plate! Treehugger encouraged folks to get their whole Thanksgiving meal within 100 miles of their homes in the aptly named 100-mile Challenge, and though I’m not entering their contest, I am…
