  • Girl Scouts Aren’t Evil, But Palm Oil…

    What kind of  hippy freak would encourage you not to buy Girl Scout cookies in order to help save rain forests? Well, me. But it’s a very reasonable thing. I don’t have a brain tumor, and I have nothing against the Girl Scouts. In fact, the Girl Scouts are dealing with…

  • Unapproved Fungicide Found in Orange Juice

    Ugh, if you ever needed an excuse to buy organic orange juice, here it is! Yep. Coke has found an “unapproved fungicide” in its orange juice, and the orange juice of its competitors. So, there’s an approved fungicide for orange juice? I guess so. The problem came from Brazilian growers…

  • Kroger: Why Stop Giving Bag Credit?

    I don’t take my own bags to the store for the bag credit, but receiving it always seems like a nice way for the store to say thanks for making an effort. Unfortunately, several Kroger stores have stopped offering a credit to customers who take their own bags. If you live…

  • Shop Small this Saturday

  • Art of Reuse: Cable Tie Chair

    This 2008 piece of art called “Meltdown Chair_Cable Tie” by British artist Tom Price takes plastic reuse to a visually fascinating level. It’s on display at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA). I’m unsure if the cable ties were new when used or if they’re reused, but either…

  • Climategate Proven Ridiculous by Koch Brothers

    Why aren’t we hearing more about how new research, funded in part by global warming deniers, proves that Climategate was a bunch of fuss over nothing? Something tells me you won’t hear Fox News talking about findings from Berkeley Earth Project, which reveal that Earth really is warming. I wonder if Rick Perry got…

  • Leave No Trace — brilliant aerial photography book

    I’d like to think that we don’t need an aerial photography book to help us appreciate nature and the last wild places in North America, but a new full-color book by photographer Jim Wark and essayist Roderick F. Nash might educate you on just how little you really recognize our…
