A lively discussion about why we should consider organic cotton underwear or ANY-wear! Some interesting statistics on organic v. conventionally grown cotton.

A lively show with our guest Green Diva co-host Florence Block, who is executive director of the US Green Building Council (NJ chapter). We talked about food a bit with Debra Secunda, the Eat Green Girl and of course green building with Florence (Green Diva Flo), but we did our Sleeping Naked is Green AND our feature interview with Jene Luciani author of The Bra Book, on organic cotton and green bras and undies! Lots of information on why we should consider greener undergarments.

We’ve become addicted to hand sanitizers to the detriment of our health and our environment. Some practical ways to avoid the chemicals and still have clean hands!

We riffed on green driving for most of the show and our feature interview with John Voelcker, Sr. Editor of GreenCarReports.com started by clarifying the answers to our poll on the greeneest types of cars on the road. An information packed episode!

If you’ve experienced eco-lightbulb confusion, you’ll love the GD Correspondent report from GD Sandy Holtzman in NY about a new App that helps us identify the best lightbulbs (and where to find them) for our individual needs. This led to some discussion later in the show about electricity and coal. Our Sleeping Naked is Green segment was all about community sharing, borrowing and bartering. Lots of discussion about ecovillages and other ways we can share books and everything! Our feature interview was with Philip Campbell, who is visiting Austin, TX from the UK to be at the SXSW Eco event. He gave a great report (even though the audio was pretty rough from the phone he had to borrow to be on the show with us). It’s worth listening to because he talks about his new Living Ark Project, where he will be going into the forest and living in an eco-pod with his 4-year old daughter for a year!

This topic led to discussion and information on intentional communities, freecycle, book sharing and creating community bartering systems.
