Steps You Can Take to Kick the Plastics Habit

By Tiffany Leave a Comment

Plastics. I can hardly say the word without making the "yuck" face. Don't get me wrong I understand that plastics have done some wondrous things for us, especially in medicine and in medical devices. But plastics are EVERYWHERE these days. Corporate America is telling me I need to drink out of plastic, eat off of plastic, wrap my food in plastic, carry my stuff in plastic bags, store my kids toys in plastic, and buy up single use plastics as much as possible to make my like easier. What they … [Read more...]

Okabashi Recyclable Shoes and Flip-Flops

By Tiffany 14 Comments

In the past I have been a flip-flop addict of sorts. Years ago it was not uncommon for me to have 10 or more pairs... of JUST flip-flops. In recent years though I curtailed my habit because they are generally so flimsy (lasting only one season) and they are heavy on plastics and foam. They were just a nightmare in the green department. So I tided myself over with sneakers (sniff) that last much longer and eco friendlier shoes when I could swing it. Anyway when an eco conscious shoe company … [Read more...]

Green Pet Products and Supplies

By Tiffany 4 Comments

I have not really written on this subject much because I don't have pets anymore. I had dogs for most of my life and loved it but after I had children and my dogs got older and eventually died I owned up to the fact that I was not a great pet owner anymore. Whereas I used to refer to my dogs as my babies, I eventually became too concerned with dog hair everywhere, chewing of the kids stuff, and the general work involved in caring for a pet. Couple that with the fact that when we lived in Arizona … [Read more...]

How to Avoid the Poison in Your Pantry

By Tiffany 16 Comments

Steps You Can Take to Make Eating Canned Food Healthier and Safer... Until recently, when I started eating less raw and cooking more in an attempt to win over my husband and ease us all into a more meatless existence I hadn't used canned food in quite some time. I understood that there were issues with canned foods but since I didn't eat them I didn't blog about it. But now I seem to be on a Mexican, South American, and Caribbean cooking kick which uses a lot of beans and I have resorted to … [Read more...]

Ask NatureMom – Laundry Baskets

By Tiffany 8 Comments

This is a somewhat regular feature I added awhile back to organize reader questions. I have a build up in my email inbox so I am doing some virtual housekeeping now. Reader Jen: My plastic laundry baskets are falling apart and I really need to replace them. Any ideas for a great eco-friendly solution? I haven't thought of anything I can re-purpose for hauling my clean laundry upstairs and I'm not sure where to look (preferably locally) for something made with sustainable materials and … [Read more...]
