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 [...]
Green Grounded got a great sticker from Toastie regarding the environment, and it’s timely, due to the upcoming election.
It’s horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment. ~ Ansel Adams

The deadline for voter registration in North Carolina is FRIDAY, 10 October 2008, so Green Grounded encourages you North Cackalackians to GET REGISTERED. Otherwise, you don’t get to make that difference… and for the first time in history, North Carolina could be an important link in the Presidential Elections! We could even end up a [...]
After yesterday’s car accident, Marc and I are returning to life as normal. Team Green Grounded is happy to report that no serious injuries impeded on either party. I only wish we could say the same for the vehicles. My Impala, Gina, took a blow she didn’t ask for or deserve.
Regardless, today, Marc has a [...]
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 [...]
For those of you who have not heard, Green Grounded and team are relocating to Asheville, NC.
This move has been nine years in the making, and once upon a day, I would have easily thought Asheville was too full of self-righteous granola types to want to move there. I may be veg, and I may [...]
So, channel surfing led me to an outraged Lou Dobbs on CNN talking about how ridiculous it is that the FDA is not erring on the side of human safety and halting including of bisphenol-A (BPA) in consumer goods until more studies are complete.
The studies that are complete show a direct correlation between BPA and estrogen [...]
