Recently I had to purchase a new car (new to me, at least) due to an accident back in September. I had been driving a 2006 Impala with combined 30 mpg, and I knew that this unfortunate event had the silver lining of allowing me to talk with my money about environmental issues that matter [...]
In the sticky transition I am in, lodged back and forth amidst my new home (Asheville) and the home we’re leaving (Raleigh), I was lucky enough last week to have two goodbye outings with work colleagues. The first was fun and official. The second one was impromptu. On a whim, four of us went to my favorite [...]
In the controversies of the world, the sustainability impact of paper towels will be historically noted.
While that may not be entirely true, the ecological impact of deforestation certainly has already made its way into our children’s textbooks and society’s pop-culture.
Yet, people frankly don’t think about the ramifications of disposable items such as paper towels and [...]
I watch a silly show: Kimora Lee Simmons: Life in the Fab Lane. A couple weeks back I was going to write a post on how her Fashion Week plans could have been much more eco-friendly and less dramatic had she not hired a Chinese factory to produce her men’s clothing line (which were late [...]
This just may be the funniest email I’ve gotten in a while, promoting green eco-friendly bags for your dog’s business! I have no idea what the bags are made of, but the email was too funny not to share. Enjoy~ Sustainably… A*Sue

Hello Asheley,
I would like to introduce an eco-friendly pet product for you to review. [...]
So, here I am driving a rental Chevrolet Cobalt (who told me to call her Tina…) for another couple days until I get a check for Gina and find another car. This accident has me not only looking for another car-friend in my life, but has me asking questions regarding how eco-friendly I can get [...]
Don’t vote. Do not vote. As much as Green Grounded has previously taken the stance that you need to vote, we’ve changed our tune.
Don’t vote. Not like it matters anyhow. After all, this whole last week has shown me what good it all does anyhow. Right?
Now tell all your friends… don’t vote.
Sustainably yours, Ashley Sue

In case you didn’t hear, many plastic drink containers contain a toxin that damages both human health and environmental safety. The toxin is bisphenol A (aka BPA), and this includes your eco-friendly multi-use drink bottles, like some Nalgene bottles.
What is sparking my rehashing of this issue, you ask?
Well, a couple nights ago, after seeing Lou [...]
Like Fergie, I choose to show off what I have, ooh the flossy flossy. I went to the dentist to show him my teeth. OK, so teeth cleanings and flossing aren’t so glamorous. C’est la vie.
He and his team are EXCELLENT, so if you need a dentist recommendation here in Raleigh, go to Dr. Benson on [...]
They die. We shop.
A friend of mine made a beautiful video a couple months back. Her words and her art have stuck with me for the entire time, and I want to share with her video you.
Consumerism is dirty.
I do not mean that all buying and the concept of gift-giving is wrong. I adore stuff. [...]
