I can’t believe I’m even writing about this, but it’s an extremely easy way to reduce your impact on the environment. So today’s post is about…cleaning the bathroom. Excited? I’m not. I particularly hate cleaning my bathroom, and have this aversion to brining out the sprays, the mildew remover, the soap scum scrubber, [...]
Bright Idea? You be the judge on this one.
Ok, I have to admit that when I set out to write this blog post, I was a bit more optimistic than I am now. I am still pretty excited, but I’m not yet 100% convinced that the change I am about to recommend is one of 100% convenience. It’s pretty damn close though, [...]
Rockstars of the Week
Close friends and family know that I’m a huge fan of rock n roll (and not so close friends usually figure this out pretty quickly). Good music is as essential to me as good friends and good food. There’s something about the rhythm, the passion, and the intensity of a rockin’ song that captivates [...]
if Larry David can care, you can too
One of the many efforts of avid environmentalist Laurie David is the website StopGlobalWarming.org, which touts itself as a “virtual march” against the causes responsible for global warming. It’s a pretty useful website, with lots of suggestions and information on how you personally can join in on the efforts. My favorite part is the [...]
A GREAT reason to care about global warming (if you haven’t bothered to care yet).
All I could say upon waking up this morning was WOW. Yesterday evening I was lucky enough to have taken part in a six-course wine tasting dinner at one of the top San Diego restaurants, and the tastes were still lingering on my tongue (or at least in my memory). For this [...]
Why, if your boyfriend comes home with Styrofoam plates, it’s worth your time to return them.
First, Just a quick note that it’s worth checking out this week’s Newsweek cover story—which is on the gradual trend toward environmental sensitivity—if for nothing else than to hear about a few creative solutions to the challenge of sustainability. The article dotes on resource-conscious architects, environmentally sensitive cities, and farmers beginning to grow as [...]
come as you are
hurray! I’ve started a blog. Now all I need is readers! So in what possibly might be a cheap shot, I am about to email a slew of friends and family announcing my blog.
So if you’re visiting this site after receiving my email, welcome! Hope you look around and enjoy what is [...]
Day 1, or How I Begin to Save the World
Before beginning to describe my first eco-friendly change, I feel like I have to give a little bit of description of where I live and my “neighbor” to the right. I live in an apartment that borders an alley, and just to the right of that alley is the loading dock to an enormous [...]
READ THIS FIRST
Ok, so I’m ready to help out the planet. And I’m not going to lie; I’m going to try to convince a few people to join me while I’m at it. But before diving in, I’ve found I need to pause to consider what this will take. We all know trying to [...]
a convenient solution?
I started this blog about two years ago and have managed to post twice in that time frame (not the most stellar statistic). I pretty much had forgotten about it altogether until a thought crossed my mind at lunch today. So after letting this blog harmlessly linger in cyberspace for a good 25 [...]
