For Republicans, it seems like anti-environmentalism isn’t just an incidental consequence of their policies and beliefs. Instead, it seems to be a platform unto itself, a way of securing votes, and a way of simplifying another issue to the unreasoning mentality of “us against them.” And in a case like that, it doesn’t matter if [...]

In a land of excess, it would be easy to indulge in whims rather than make serious environmental choices. And many celebrity estates do boast excess with everything from golden toilets (not kidding!) to private landing strips but thankfully some celebs take their purchasing power seriously and have opted for sustainability, resource conservation and “green” [...]

Ok, ok, first of all – everybody CALM DOWN. He hasn’t announced yet. But yes, he is leading in the Republican polls. And yes, if he were to get elected, it would almost certainly mean Armageddon.

Once a year, we decide to take a whole 24 hours to acknowledge that the earth is indeed worth our efforts to save. Apologies if that sounds harsh but more often than not, I feel frustration that after 40 years of lobbying, advocacy and mounting evidence to show the impact of humans and industry on [...]

Let’s just skip right past the obvious observation of Tax Day and move on to a more enjoyable day approaching – Easter! Rather than talk tax forms and tax credits, let’s talk about the incredible amount of waste that comes hop hop hoppin’ down the trail with the Easter Bunny. This is a holiday of [...]

“After enlightenment, the laundry.” – Zen Proverb Whether you consider it relaxing or a necessary evil that should be passed off to others whenever possible, there’s no escaping doing the laundry.

My parents flew to Las Vegas from Wisconsin on Sunday. Their plane left late, so they missed the Green Bay Packers beating the Chicago Bears. However, something even worse happened – the airlines lost their luggage. My mom carries an extra outfit in her carry-on (which is a must because most airlines make you wait [...]

“Bali High” – when I first heard that song from South Pacific, I thought Mama was singing about an exotic paradise for lovers. Turns out the song might have been about one of the most progressive schools in Southeast Asia – possibly the world. The Green School, located in the Rainforest of Bali combines first [...]

For many people a Green Holiday only means one thing, St. Patrick’s Day. Visions of lads and lasses with names like Rozinski and Stein wearing green hats and shamrock tattoos while drinking green beer are often the only green images we conjure up.
