Like all pets, rabbits need a balanced diet in order to thrive. Because 20% of a rabbit’s entire body weight is occupied by its digestive system, diet is especially important to a bunny's health. Many of the pellet foods that are provided in the US market contain everything that your rabbit will need nutrition-wise. They are also the simplest option – even though some of them are high in calories compared to what a rabbit would eat out in the wild. They can be kind of pricey though. If you are … [Read more...]
Small Scale Aquaponics – Growing Greens With a Fish Tank
One of the biggest hopes you can have as a mom and an environmentalist is that your kids will want to take up your causes as they grow and mature. I could not be prouder of my oldest child (nearly 14) as he grows into a stellar young man.

He helps me in the garden and listens relentlessly to my babbling about political issues, food integrity, and saving the … [Read more...]
Shopping Cart Baskets
Loving my shopping cart baskets from Reuseit. Relying on reusable bags can be hit or miss because you may not remember to take them.

Eco Wrap – My Family, Gardening, and Earthopoly

It really made me appreciate Ohio more. I was downright giddy when we pulled up to our house and it was cool and rainy. I have been slow to blog … [Read more...]
Arizona Resort Goes All Organic
I was elated to read this morning that a resort just a few miles from my house (and a place I LOVE to stay at) is going to be a pioneeer for the organic movement by going all organic. The resort is called The Boulders. An establishment right next to the resort called El Pedegral, is actually a Farmer's Market and festival that offers organic produce. Here I have lived next to this marketplace for years (when I am not in Ohio) and I never even knew what it was. Coming in October is an organic … [Read more...]
