I grew up amongst a family of quasi-vegetarian, white-meat eating fish-lovers. As a child, my only exposure to red meat occurred at the occasional block party or at roadside fast-food pit stops. I actually disliked meat in general. It wasn’t until about two years ago when my desire for red meat blossomed - ironically amidst my Environmental Ecology education at UCSD.
We thought we’d add to the growing pile of articles on going green for Halloween - though our tips may have veered out of the mainstream a bit...
BeeCeuticals Organics has created a new travel-sized kit, the Hive Five, with five personal care products:
If you burn through a ton of AA and AAA batteries in your camera, electronics and toys you should be using recharegeable batteries. You’ll not only save a pile of money but you’ll be doing the environment a world of good by not adding to the tons of carcinogenic batteries we pour into landfills each day.
Ask anyone who knows me, and “trail blazer” is not a term one would apply to me. “Unconventional?” Perhaps. “Bookish?” Certainly. And despite the fact that I
As of right now, Poppy Organic claims to be the first and only organic skincare brand to include birch bark extract in their ingredient mix. Why is this important, or useful, or exciting? For the fair skin-types, like myself, who have to be extra careful in the sun, BBE (birch bark extract) might “prevent and help to treat UV-induced skin cancer.” I know just from looking in the mirror that the sun has caused some damage to my skin, so I’m about to take a closer look at this unique line of skincare.
I was lucky enough to get a peek at the new environmental film, 11th Hour. A powerful and thought-provoking film that examines the ingredients — from economic philosophy to scientific certitudes — of the environmental cocktail that has brought us to the precipice of disaster. All manner of scientists and philosophers speak to the impending climate crisis and potential solutions. The film documents interviews with over 50 scholars, theorists and experts — from Gorbachov to — curiously featured, former CIA chief, James Woolsey — who take us on a journey that hopefully ends in motivating more planet-friendly actions by anyone viewing the piece. As a some-time filmaker and fulltime movie afficiando my only major criticism is, like many Hollywood films, this baby is 15 minutes too long. On a minor note, the celebrity hungry public will probably wish Leo had more screen time; and the producers’ names are splashed all over the website and film like the credits in a first-time feature, but these are all minor quibbles. The film hits hard and will have a big impact. And it’s a worthy companion piece to that gentleman, Mr. Gore’s film.
Oh, the woes of Teflon. Dangerously bad for the environment (and potentially humans), but so much easier to clean than stainless steel. Now, the best of both worlds is up for grabs thanks to the Home Shopping Network.
