My friends Jake and Anna have done an AMAZING job looking through NC Assembly laws, on the books or in the works, and highlighted the top 20 on greening our state responsibly.
Check out their finds across four separate posts: NC Assembly Part 1, NC Assembly Part 2, NC Assembly Part 3 and NC Assembly Part [...]
Planning a wedding can be difficult, but if you want to be a bit more eco-friendly and have a “green” wedding, your headache in finetuning the details may just be starting.
The Green Life has a whole slew of tips for your big day… Some suggestions are reasonable, and some are a bit too… er… “granola” [...]
Whoa~ I just saw a spot with Al Sharpton and Pat Robertson uniting together for climate and environmental responsibility. I’m not sure how I feel about it, but I have to say I am happy to see an issue that UNITES so many people!
I just stumbled (twittered, actually) onto the coolest website called Green Mom Finds. I had as much fun finding this as when I found Raise A Green Dog! Just like Raise a Green Dog, Green Mom Finds is a really grounded way to get info on healthy living, fun finds, eco-responsible shopping, and just in [...]
A new movement has begun to first go green and then to change it to blue so we’ve all gone (or are going) blue…
Huh? Blue’s the new Green (which is the new Orange, which is the new Pink, which is the new Black ~ in case you hadn’t heard)? Why on Earth are we changing [...]
This video totally has your answer for why you should love CFL bulbs. Three minutes of “CFLs in Plain English”. All lessons should be this cool.
Note, not all CFLs are created equal. It pays to buy a $4 name-brand bulb instead of a cheapy version which will turn yellow-colored ~ In fact, Lighter Footstep explains it best.
You [...]
So, I previously mentioned the fluke weather that befuddled Marc and myself on the way to a restaurant Sunday evening (around 8 pm), but here are more pictures from the BEAUTIFUL rainbow. And a video :)
Also, I apologize for the BAD music playing… from my doorstep until we got to the restaurant, I was so [...]
All over the world, Happy Earth Day 2008!
It’s a little anti-climatic though in the sense that, like Valentine’s Day or 9-11, it’s a little bogus to have it shoved in our faces and for each of us to feel super (romantic/patriotic/) eco-minded if it’s only going to be for the one day.
For that reason, I say in [...]
Marc went to the auto-parts store and bought about 10 items and was rewarded with the longest receipt on Earth, ever.
Has anyone else noticed how insanely long receipts are getting, tacking on a “go to this website and you could win … !” bs smorgasbord at the bottom? That’s crazy enough, but this one takes [...]
I spent yesterday at Herbfest in Wake Forest before heading out to downtown Raleigh for the last half of their Earth Day celebrations.
Let me just say, Herbfest ~ you are cool. No wonder Sierra Club named Wake Forest one of America’s coolest cities!
Further, Raleigh, I got there at 530 for an event that was supposed [...]
