Stars Come Down to Earth
Not surprisingly, now that environmentalism is ‘hot’, the stars are coming out in support of various green causes. Of course some notable celebrities have long shined light on various aspects of the environmental movement (Leo, Darryl, and Woody, I’m talkin’ about you!) So I was really excited when I found…
Junk Mail— So Much Waste
Although I live in a community whose recycling program accepts 99% of the junk mail I receive, it still amazes me just how much waste I get in the mail each day. Recently, many companies have given consumers the option to receive “paperless” bills via email or web, which is…
Adorable, Musical and Hearts the Earth
The Curious George soundtrack was recently released, and Jack Johnson sings all of the songs on the movie’s soundtrack. I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I noticed this awesome song while I was checking it out. It’s called the 3R’s. Three thats the magic number yes it is, its a…
From Junk to Funk!
Continuing on the theme of fun repurposed stuff is Againnyc, a NYC-based (duh!) online store that sells sweet handbags, yoga bags, and even a funky laptop bag, all made of vintage fabrics and hardware. They even donate a portion of their profits to environmental groups. It’s so great that…
FiftyRX3: My New Favorite Blog
The title for this post is no exaggeration. I am a little obsessed with visiting Jill Danyelle’s awesome green fashion blog, FiftyRX3. Jill is not only into finding gorgeous sustainable fashions in and around NYC, (see TreehuggerTV’s great vlog showing some of Jill’s favorite haunts) but she is also on…
Save the Produce!
It’s summer and with all the produce you’ll be scoring at your local farmer’s market (hopefully you’ll be buying organic) it’s no doubt that your fridge will be fuller than usual. But on an average, Americans throw out at least 25% of the produce that they buy, due to spoilage.…
Is the 3rd the Charm?
Tribeca seems to be becoming the little Mecca of eco-friendly living. First there was the remarkable Solaire, then the Tribeca Green, now the new comer in town, The Verdesian, is making its way as the new environmentally advance residential tower of lower Manhattan. Located at the NW corner of Battery…
Ask Chicky: Clear Skies or Dirty Air?
Dear Chicky, My boyfriend and I (we’re both in our early 30’s) have a bet: I say air quality is better than when we were kids, he says it’s worse. Who’s right? –Itching to Be Right Dear Itching, Though it’s always fun to watch one half of a couple…
State of the Union Address States Something Incredible
Although our President has tried to hold back the tide of change toward cleaner healthier energy, some things he said in his last State of the Union Address suggests that he may be changing his tune, at least for now. The oil money man said that “America is addicted…
I (Heart) Tom's
I’ve been a fan of Tom’s of Maine since I was a whippersnapping treehugger in tie-dye with a flower in my hair. They make the best natural toothpastes (who else would have thought of gingermint?), and some damn good deoderants and other personal care stuff. They’ve been doing it for…
