Decorate green this holiday

The holidays are one of the best times of the year, but can also be among the most wasteful. Here are some tips for making the season a little greener: Switch to LED lights – I was in holiday lighting hell last weekend. I think every strand I took out of the box and plugged in was half lit. Or worse, worked initially and then burned out the instant I had it up on the tree. The exception - all my LED lights worked like a charm. Many strands we have had for four or five years now and not o… Continue

Going Green Is The Only Solution For The Worlds Low Water Supply

Sustainability is primarily about the management of resources. The Green factor is comparatively about health issues within any facility. Although these environmental issues are related, they are clearly distinct segments of the environmental problem. When the public thinks of sustainable issues, it is normal to envision oil, gas, coal, or other commodities. There is a new concern that water (drinkable water) will become the next world crisis issue. Even the present mania about climate change co… Continue

Double digits and greener birthdays

This week, my daughter (my little girl) is turning 10. Yes, double digits – what the heck?! I’m freaking out about this and I’m not sure why. It’s not a case of “wow, if I have a ten year old, I must be old”. It’s just that I’m enjoying my kids so much at the age they are right now, I don’t want them to grow up. My husband and I always say to them, “Can you do me a favor and please stop growing?” Which we are kidding about, sort of… Some unsolicited advice I would give to moms with younger kids… Continue

What I’m really scared of this Halloween

Let me first say that I love, love, love Halloween, so I’m not trying to spoil the fun. But lead in face paint, toxic costumes, high-fructose corn syrup and mounds of trash can make Halloween not so sweet. With a few simple changes though, we can enjoy the holiday while protecting our kids’ health and our planet. Here are some suggestions for a Halloween that’s not so frightening: Forgo the face paint – The Environmental Working Group tested… Continue

An Argument for Green Energy Without Using the Word "Environment".

At law school you find that the balance of liberals and conservatives really shifts compared to undergrad life. It’s a lot more evened out, at least in my circle of friends. I like it this way, apart from the whole gay thing, I’d probably be more of a political moderate. The only thing that seems to put me in the far left is my “radical” views on sexual equality; how edgy of me. Anyway, I have this really good friend, probably one of my best friends in law school, we’ll call him Bill. He’s very… Continue

Be green while you celebrate the red, white and blue

Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. I love the warm weather, barbeques, block parties and fireworks. Here are some ideas for making this year’s celebration a bit more sustainable. Recycle - If your neighborhood has a block party, volunteer to collect and recycle all the bottles and cans. Every year, my neighborhood has a huge Fourth of July celebration. A few years back, I was enjoying the party but then noticed that there were no recycling bins and all the cans and bottles we… Continue
