low-stress ideas for living a deeper shade of green
So, here I find myself grabbing my new Patagonia hiking boots from PlanetShoes.com again. Every summer I go to South Dakota and camp with friends. It’s pretty much due north from Austin and I have a few good choices of routes to take. My favorite is U.S. Route 83 which stretches from Texas to North Dakota. It’s almost [...]
Thought I’d take a break from the road on my drive from NJ to Austin. Was so glad to have my new Patagonia boots from PlanetShoes.com to assist me on some trail walkin’ exercise. This is when I stopped in Virginia.

This is fabulous, natural apparel — great for running (supposedly doesn’t get stinky, [...]
I got this English Retreads bag from one of my favorite green cyber-shopping spots, BuyGreen.com. I love BuyGreen.com because they do a fairly thorough evaluation of their products, reviewing and rating all aspects of a product’s sustainability. This bag got 49 on its sustainability score (see the details of how this bag was rated). This [...]
As I review more and more ‘green’ products these days, I’m kind of baffled that there isn’t more of a standardized rating system. I googled ‘green product standards’ and I found the Green Seal of course, which is great for paper products and cleaners. The EPA even has a database for information on environmental products and [...]
