Go Nancy, Go Nancy! Go Ms. Speaker of the House!
In my former life as a political blogger on Jakeneck, which alas, no longer exists, I would rant and rave about politicians’ dirty little anti-environmental votes. I got a little burnt out (and despondent) after the 2004 election and withdrew from the political discussion arena, but plenty of other hardier…
LES Now Renamed Lower Eco Side
I have been foraying around the LES (lower east side) of Manhattan of late, and have I found a bevy of eco fabulousness! First up, Kaight, which I thought I found first, but Treehugger’s Celine was there just a couple days before me. And then I saw that Jill over…
Departure to a New Utopia
Leonardo DiCaprio is departing from his role in front of the camera and once again focusing his attention towards the environment. Where as Sir Thomas More brought us Utopia, DiCaprio is helping to bring to us E-topia . This new reality TV series is pretty much summed up by this…
Ode to Autumn
This is my favorite season, a time of apple-picking, knit scarves and hats, pumpkin carving, colorful leaves and cool, sunny days. It’s my favorite shopping season, the best time to climb a mountain, and if you’re a little tough, you can still swim too (the water stays warmer longer than…
Wildlife Works
I’m so beyond broke, but the next time I have some cash burning a hole in my pocket, I know where I’m going to go shopping: Wildlife Works. Not only is their stuff ridiculously adorable and totally my style, but everything is made from environmentally-friendly materials (mostly organic cotton). AND…
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…

Excuse Me, There’s Blood on Your Diamond
“I don’t understand about diamonds, and why men buy them. What’s so impressive about a diamonds except the mining?” —Fiona Apple Many of the prisoner-laborers who work Sierra Leone’s open-pit mines end up in shallow graves, executed for suspected theft, for lack of production, or simply for sport.

Clearwater Great Hudson River Revival
I had the best time at the Hudson River Clearwater Revival this weekend! It is one of the oldest environmental summer festivals in the country (over 35 years!) and still going strong! In fact I think there were more people this year than I’ve seen in awhile. I attended this gathering as a kid…

I’m just on this major shopping spree right now. Boyfriend coming to town, doing a little strategic pick-up with my credit card online. Wham, Bam, Thank you Ma’am – click here to pay – and Voi’la. Lube at your doorstep two days later. Happened to cum upon this incredible, in-depth…
