Earth Friendly Goodies If it's Good for the Earth it's Good for Your Health

We met in the dairy section of my local co-op grocery store. The irony of one who is lactose intolerant even being in that isle still strikes me, curiosity perhaps, longing, no desire to have what I could not have. I was feeling a bit naughty, too bold perhaps after just finishing a lascivious chapter of the latest Anita Blake …

Going Green has never been so Groovy with these Fair Trade Yoga Clothes I found a delightfully delicious new ebay seller on ebay’s eco-conscious World of Good today. Iron Lion Imports (consciousclothing is their ebay store name) has a huge selection of handmade fair trade goods made in Nepal. A small family cooperative makes all the products, including clothing, jewelry …

I’ve been dying to try Earth Shoes ever since I first read about them – so far I am still procrastinating but after reading that Planet Shoes has a summer sale going on I may have to put off putting it off. Take these wicked cool Earth Port sandals for example, as with all Earth Shoes they help strengthen and …

If you’ve been hanging out at the ball park watching the kiddieos play a little soccer you’ve been sitting on my future roll of Reynolds Wrap. (I’m going to have to ask you to move – and don’t even think about sticking your gum under your seat!) Reynolds Wrap now makes 100% recycled aluminum foil made from sterilized food safe …

With the grand opening of Mirimichi, Justin Timberlake’s first ever sustainable golf course in the US to receive the Audubon International’s Classic Sanctuary certification now open, I was pondering (because I am a pondering sort) the juxtaposition of the beauty of a well maintained scenic golf course with the environmental reality that golf courses use an exorbitant amount of water …

I recently discovered these soft and cuddly handmade Eco-friendly baby shoes called IsaBooties (think a more sustainable version of Robeez) while perusing the many wonderful earth friendly and fair trade products at eBay’s World of Good (now unfortunately it looks like it no longer exits). The latest in Eco fashion for babies are 100% animal free (no they don’t come …

How many times have you been exposed to toxic carcinogenic Benzene and not even known it? I recently learned that dishwasher detergent is one of the most toxic things in our homes – and that hot cloud of vapor that blasts into us as we open the dishwasher is in fact loaded with toxic chemicals like Benzene, chlorine and phosphates. …

I’ve been hearing a lot about the health benefits of grass fed meat lately so I stopped by the farmers market last night to see if there were any local farmers selling grass fed meat. I was pleased to notice there were a couple to choose from, and after looking over the price list I was more pleased to note …

The first time I tried fish oil I discovered the downside real quick – it slides down nice and easy but the fishy aftertaste is a real sinker (oops did I just say that? 🙂 ). If that wasn’t bad enough the dreaded fishy burps hit me like a school of sunfish after a handful of breadcrumbs. Top that off …

A good tea blend is like a good friend: warm, soft and comforting in all the right places. The other day I had a few minutes to burn while waiting for a take out order so I drifted off in search of some interesting stores in the neighborhood. As always when I see a nice looking organic tea shop I …

Has that pesky Benzine, Propylene Glycol, and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate gotten under your skin? After attending a recent seminar on environmental toxins I am left with a burning desire to throw out nearly all my household products. Give them credit for getting the message across eh? We had been slowly switching over to natural products in the let’s use the …

What would you do to save $250 a year in gas? Wear a pink TuTu and dance around the office singing I’m a Little Teapot? How about outfit your car with a Speedo? Both sound a little on the crazy side but the latter is actually an option. Well not really a Speedo but a vehicle wrap material, called MPG-Plus™ …

Have you ever been searching the web and thought to yourself “self, I sure wish I could do more to help the environment, but I’m stuck here at my computer all day and don’t have the time to get up and grab an organic peanut butter and jelly sandwich much less do my part to save the planet.” Well, that’s …

As we Mac and iPhone geeks drool over the news from WWDC 2009 my thoughts turn to what eco-cool accessories can we spiff up our new Apple toys with – and particularly the new iPhone 3G S. I was hoping I would find some cool eco-friendly fair trade iPhone cases at eBay’s World of Good, but so far the selection …

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhNiIb89crw] Hey eco guys and gals, what do you get when you throw in some funky groovy tunes, a little organic produce, and a dash of salt all whipped up in high speed? Why, it is this little video on how to make Pico De Gallo! I had to come up with some ideas for supper tonight for a …
