low-stress ideas for living a deeper shade of green
Red Wine – I’d be lost with out it! My first experience with Chilean wine was back around 1995, when my children’s nanny — a wonderful Chilean woman — brought me a bottle. I’m thinking, Chile? … how good can this wine be? I will be the first to say, this “pseudo wine snob,” was [...]
This week instead of having our usual show we decided to devote the whole hour to reviewing all the green living products that have been patiently waiting for our witty commentary. Important note: we are never compensated for the reviews, and we only review products that we like and want to recommend. So, while we don’t get [...]
April 22 – Earth Day. Hmmm? An important day for sure to create and increase awareness … to assure respect and love for Mother Earth continues from one generation to the next. I just don’t want Earth Day to become another Veterans Day, Mother’s Day or What-have-you DAY; a day we set aside once a year to remind folks of what’s [...]
As always, we had an action-packed show with a lot of information between the bawdy jokes and general ribaldry. It must be spring . . . In our mixed-bag opening, Green Dude Eco Ed talked about an innovative student who has developed a way to clean up some of the plastic and other garbage floating [...]
My parents emigrated from Europe in 1957. After 5 brief years in Brooklyn, NY, they bought the house in which I grew up. It’s the first house at the top of a dead-end street with a yard much bigger than the others in the neighborhood. Mom still lives there. We’d play with all the neighborhood kids [...]
This is our first spring in the new home. It is thrilling to see the hundreds of tulips poking through the snow dust. The previous owner has some nice flower beds and a herb bed, but no vegetable garden. My husband and I uncharacteristically decided to try and keep it somewhat simple, and plant our [...]
Happy Birthday Green Diva Meg! Last week the very sick GD Meg turned 50 with Grace (her new rescue dog Gracie Mae), dignity and phlegm! We tried not to be too funny, because this would send her into gales of coughing. We finally got to talk to the inspiring Mariel Hemingway! But first, a big [...]
We had WAY too much fun in the studio last week. Eco Ed Schwartz joined us to be our resident Green Dude, and even though Green Diva Jamie and silent Jessie were not in the studio, we managed to have so much fun that we forgot to record the first 20 minutes of the show! ahhhhhhhh [...]
In New Jersey, we had thousands of trees ripped out of the ground by their roots, others simply snapping by the force of the storms. Like most of my neighbors, I was not spared, losing 2 beautiful, healthy, tall black walnut trees. Okay, so some of the wood ended up as firewood but black walnut is beautiful hard wood. I am so sorry to see it go up in flames.
