Green (Living) Review
APRIL 15, 2009
April 14, 2009; Boulder, Colorado : According to the Earth Day Network’s web site, it took us (collectively as a human race) about 125 years to use our first trillion barrels of oil. We’re going to use up the next trillion barrels in only 30 years. It stands to reason our increased oil usage has an impact on our environment, our health and our lives. So this year as we celebrate Earth Day let’s remember there are simple yet effective steps we can take to help preserve our world.

Beautiful Things: Eco Chick’s Holiday Green Gift Guide, 2009
Eco Chic
NOVEMBER 1, 2009
I’ve always been a firm believer in the idea that buying stuff doesn’t have to be bad. Should we buy less? Should we carefully consider what we buy, where it comes from, and who makes it? Definitely, for sure, and yeah! BUT the thing that’s missing in all the anti-consumer screeds (and I’ve written a few) is the fact that many people on this planet make a living by selling something to someone else. It’s how they feed their families and pay their bills.
