In case you haven’t gotten the memo, bottled water is a serious envirnomental nightmare. Please listen to this short segment and learn why.

Gettin Local with the Green Divas: whever YOU are! We had a great time in the studio with Guest Green Diva Meghan Van Dyk, editor of the Daily Record’s Grassroots section. We were kicking off our new weekly segment about being local whever you are. We talked about sustainability in education, pink slime and why we should give up bottled water.

We had Chris Murphy, of the Smart Little House store in Roseland, NJ call in for this segment. Chris is an expert on non-toxic homes, VOCs and offers some surprising (and disturbing) details to this topic.

GD Lisa was out this week, so we had a guest Green Diva, EcoKaren (aka Karen Lee) sitting in. We dished about a recent head-spinning, but cool green twitter party hosted by Practically Green. We also listened to a great pre-recorded interview GD Meg did with Jessica Alba about her new company the Honest Company. A great Sleeping Naked is Green segment about VOCs and how to avoid them in our homes.

Some great ideas about how easy it is to recycle your sneakers and all the amazing ways they are being repurposed into new materials for playgrounds, basketball courts and tracks. Also, a couple of ideas for finding sustainably made sneakers.

A very green diva episode with a short Why Should We Care piece that GD Meg recorded earlier in the week with Jessica Alba. the Sleeping Naked is Green segment was all about recycling our sneakers. Our feature interview was with Rachel Kaplan, author of Urban Homesteading: Heirloom Skills for Sustainable Living. GREAT information and lots of it!
