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 [...]
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 [...]
A colleague of mine recently had me meet Pete Pagano of Green Planet Catering here in Raleigh, NC.
NBC 17 covered the company recently, and though the catering company has only been catering for about half a year, but the concept has been growing much much longer.
I have to admit, the “greenie” in me is deeply [...]
I figure my money talks, so when I had to have a recent meeting at Starbucks, I chose to let them know I will only use my money for their fair trade and organic coffees.

Check out their finds across four separate posts: NC Assembly Part 1, NC Assembly Part 2, NC Assembly Part 3 and NC Assembly Part [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
