  • A magical video about skipping the bottled water

    Livan left a comment on My SIGG bottle about a magical, educational video on the wastefulness of bottled water: What’s Tappening? Seriously, Livan and Liberty are magicians. And if they aren’t, they fooled me. Here’s what they say on their YouTube page: This video is for educational purposes. We are…

  • Doggie Dooley for composting dog poop

    I’m categorizing Doggie Dooley under “Green Products,” but I’ll let you decide. Since my only pet Choco is a cat, I don’t have to contend with piles of dog poop in my yard. He’s nice and always goes in his litter box. I don’t have to poop hunt. The Doggie…

  • Green spring links

    Happy first day of spring! Roll about in rattan. I don’t know. That’s really what it looks like you’d do in this expensive wicker-bag that ecofabulous is writing about. I do like that blog though. But not sure about this rattan thing. Rattan is sustainable and springy though. Tree Hugging…

  • Can a company be half green?

    I’ve been thinking about that Green Works post I did at the end of February. And about the Clorox buying Burt’s Bees post. The problem I have, and that a lot of people who write about the environment have, is what to think of Clorox and similar companies that are…

  • Baking Delights contest & Why bake at home

    Marye at Baking Delights is having a contest. You’ll want to check it out soon if you like French desserts. Je t’aime. And while I’m here, I might as well remind you that it’s much more eco-friendly to bake at home than to buy packaged products or mixes. You can…

  • Rinse laundry detergent bottles

    I don’t know. I thought you’d like to see a random photo with this tip. That’s not my laundry or photo or pet. Since I have to keep my recycling at the apartment until I drive it to the drop-off, I rinse the containers well and let them dry. I…

  • Green Works

    So, I tried out Green Works natural all-purpose cleaner, made by Clorox. Here’s what I like: Mostly Natural ingredients (99 percent). Directly from the label: coconut-based cleaning agent, corn-based ethanol, essential lemon oil, filtered water and biodegradable preservative. Contains no phosphorus. Contains no bleach. It’s safe on multiple surfaces. The…

  • My SIGG bottle

    UPDATE: August 2009, SIGG bottles made prior to August 2008 contain trace amounts of BPA. Isn’t it lovely? (Sorry about the glare on the photo. It’s so nice it shines.) Since a main focus of this blog is sharing steps I take to be greener in my everyday life, I…

  • Get rid of unwanted catalogs with Catalog Choice

    So, maybe you want some catalogs. That’s OK, but I’ll guess that you get more than a few catalogs that you don’t want. At Catalog Choice you can choose which catalogs you no longer want to receive. Then, Catalog Choice does all the work for you. They contact the companies.…

  • Send a Valentine e-card and help homeless pets

    Send DOGGIE-MAIL or KITTY-MAIL before February 14 and Purina will donate .50 cents to help a homeless dog or cat. Each time you send a card, Purina donates. You can choose a pet (cat or dog or upload your own photo), background, audio and props. It’s fun. A warning though:…
