Vegans and Vegetarians: This Cod's Not for You
I like to go fishing and cook what I catch when I can, though I don’t go often. I almost had won the prize for the biggest cod caught one year, until a monster like this one came along. YOWZA! These babies can feed whole families!
Zaadz… a Meaningful & Conscious Online Community
I’m sure at this point, all of us have joined or know someone who’s joined Friendster, MySpace, Match.com, Tribe or any other online community designed to meet people through cyberspace. Although new communities like this seem to be popping up all over the place, a new site, Zaadz (Dutch for…
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.…
Ecocolo

I just learned that if everyone on the planet lived as I do, it would take 4.2 Earths to provide for them. Meaning: I take up three times as much resources as I should. And that’s with keeping my house at 60 degrees all winter, driving minimally in an efficient car, and being a…
OBEN is OPEN (in Barcelona)
The 100% recyclable placemat at my table read: “El primer restaurant amb tots els plats 100% ecologics de Barcelona.” For those that don’t speak Catalan, that means: “First 100% organic restaurant in town” Continuing with my series exposing every organic resource available to eco-chicks passing through Barcelona, today I…
Organic in BCN
Spain is the world’s #2 tourist destination following France. In 2003, 51.8 million vacationers descended upon Sunny Spain to bask in the Mediterranean rays and bathe their brains in the best sangria the world has to offer.
