There are very simple things people can do that can have a very big environmental impact. The five I am listing here, require very little effort and in some cases no money. A couple of these suggestions could probably even save you money. I hope you read this list with an open […]

Reusable Gift Bags

Debbie @ November 21, 2007 # One Comment

I am a recycling nut. Every year for the holidays it never ceases to cross my mind all the wrapping paper, ribbons and bows that get put out with the garbage. There is actually an alternative to paper. I found a website that  sells gift bags that can be continually re-gifted. […]

Green Batteries

Debbie @ November 21, 2007 # 2 Comments

The holiday season reminds my of batteries for some reason. Maybe it’s because one year as a gift for my children, I received a package of 25 double A batteries. The worst part is, I refuse to throw batteries away, so I have literally moved with a bag of batteries about three times […]

Skin Care

Debbie @ October 14, 2007 # 2 Comments

I am very sensitive to facial cleansers and moisturizers and I used to constantly buy different products, never seeming to find the one that was just right.  When I started buying all natural and organic products, it took me about a year to find the “just right” I had been looking for.  When I compare […]

Nature’s Gate Products

Debbie @ October 13, 2007 # No Comment Yet

My shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, and baby shampoo are all Nature’s Gate products. They are reasonably priced and after trying many different all natural products in the above categories, I continually wound up going back to them. Not just because of the price either. I love their toothpaste and it does not have flouride. If you […]

Toilet Paper Can Make a Difference

Debbie @ October 11, 2007 # 176 Comments

One of the most common complaints I hear about buying organic or “going green” is how expensive it is. I will not argue the fact that yes it is more expensive, but only in the short term. I will use the example of eating organic food. About 90% of the food I buy is organic. […]
