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. [...]
Here in the Triangle, the housing market isn’t our biggest financial woe. Energy costs is.
As the price of energy goes up incrementally every day, we are less concerned with foreclosures (though some do face this nightmare, we are significantly lower in foreclosures than the national average) and far more concerned with the cost of going [...]
I visited Twig this week, a unique store here in the Triangle (Chapel Hill) that sells sustainability, community and eco-awareness at sustainable prices, and this weekend (May 17) they are partnering with local non-profits, but more on that later.
I loved talking with the staff. The owner shared that everything in the store has a story, [...]
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.

Allie gives a tip for TODAY in case you’re scrounging for a great gift idea… my add-on tip? Tell your doll you want to wait until this weekend to celebrate it right… after all, no matter what your super-last minute gift is, if it’s insincerely thrown together, it will STINK of funk equivalent to dog [...]
With Valentine’s Day less than a week away, don’t you want to see some super easy, reasonably priced, eco-friendly sustainable ways to be a little greener for the holiday?
Show your love in the dark and save some energy! Watch my vid and see:
Now, get romantic, and seriously, if you want a great restaurant in Raleigh, [...]
In prepping for your Super Bowl XLII shenanigans, I know you want to know how to “green” up all the partying that is classic synonymous with cheap beer, cheap chicken wings, genetically-modified corn chips, cheap melted cheese (cheese stuff, in some cases), and chili (pumped full of beef from cows in South America).
Today’s tip is [...]
Pulling out the seven-layer dip recipe and deciding what chomps to make, I’m happy to share that the NFL is taking consistent steps toward a greener, more sustainable future. Yep. That’s the side of the game you aren’t going to hear much about this week.
While you cheer for the underdogs or cheer for breaking history, [...]
OK, guys, tune out now ~ as this next resolution is for the ladies only (and or drag queens) ~ as I resolve to buy only earth and woman friendly products for my toiletries and makeup. Here, I talk deodorant, makeup and tampons (see).
First, I made the change to natural deodorant a couple years ago [...]
