  • Review: Bee M.D. Organic Throat Drops

    Bee M.D. is a honey-based, USDA certified organic throat drop. I tried out both the Natural Honey and the Honey Lemon varieties. These were sent to me to review, but you may find your own at drugstore.com and amazon.com for under $3 (currently). They’re also available at many local grocery…

  • Green Beer & Buy a Tree in NYC

    I’m moving tomorrow, but while I unpack I’m leaving you with some tidbits: Greenopia has a great green beer roundup. I didn’t realize Fat Tire is an eco beer. I see signs for it everywhere. But I’m not really a beer drinker. If you’ve tried it, tell us about it!…

  • Cafe Fair Chem-Free Decaf Coffee

    My local store was out of my usual decaf, so I found something new. Cafe Fair was about $1 more expensive than my usual, but I decided to try it anyway. It maddens me that it’s almost impossible to find whole bean decaf coffee at most stores. Who out there…

    Last month, I wrote about these bags over at Tree Hugging Family. They’re available through Whole Foods for only .99 cents and feature a special design by Sheryl Crow. Well, like Sheryl Crow or not, that doesn’t change the fact that giving gifts inside reusable shopping bags is a smart…

  • Green Gift Idea: Prairie Bug Fire Starters

    I received a box of Prairie Bug fire starters to review today. I won’t be able to try them in my fireplace until mid December when I move into a place that actually has a fireplace! I didn’t want to wait that long to tell you about them though. To…

  • Green Gift Idea: Time’s Planet Earth

    Ecology dull? Never. Time’s Planet Earth, An Illustrated History, not only explains the wonders of nature, but shows them to you with vivid photographs. Many topics are covered: biology, zoology, geology, meteorology, oceanography and animal behavior. Planet Earth is a fascinating coffee table book. It’s not the type of book…

  • Holiday Gift Idea: TONIC Totes

    What if you could give a cute tote to someone and know that your gift was a double for someone you’ve never met? TONIC totes, which go on sale for the first time today, provide the opportunity to give even more this year. The purchase of a Robin tote will…

  • Support the Gorillas and Rangers in Virunga National Park

    If you’re a tender-hearted primate lover, it may be somewhat difficult for you to read Gorilla.cd. The rangers who risk their own lives to protect the gorillas of Virunga National Park will tell you about their experiences dealing with rebel forces in the Congo. It’s all at their blog. But…

  • ABC Gets Messages

    I posted several days ago about the TV Ad That ABC Refused to Air and also sent a message to ABC via wecansolveit.org. Here’s what’s been happening: • More than 220,000 messages objecting to ABC’s refusal to air the Repower ad spot have been delivered to ABC. •Lots of buzz…
