A big, big bag, but not much more The Kearney bag is HUGE, but that's about it. It has a shiny, plastic look to it, thanks to the rice bag material. It's large enough to hold a semester's worth of books, a laptop and it's peripherals, or a picnic. The side and top pockets are convenient and easy to access. The main clasp for the bag...

A worthy alternative! I just renewed my membership in the Better World Club. I've used their emergency service once and the response was fast, pleasant, and painless. I also used their travel service which got me a great deal for Thanksgiving, including the carbon offset. I've recommended them twice and both people were...

Easy to use, may be hard to find Ultratouch is very easy to work with. We installed the R22 under our kitchen (an enclosed porch). It cut and tore easily and, so far, is insulating the floor well.

It's like thrift shopping for your house I don't normally groove on flea market or thrift shopping, but every trip to Community Forklift is a surprise!

Just tea, nothing less I adore Honest Tea's line, but especially the Assam. It's simple: just black tea, purified water, and organic cane sugar and maple syrup. It's just a little bit sweet, which balances perfectly with the tea's astringency. The whole bottle (two servings) is just 80 calories. And they plant trees.

Delicious wines, fabulous staff I had the pleasure of trying Frey's organic wines at the DC Green Festival. The pinot noir was richly flavored. The chardonnay was delightful. I ordered a trio to be sent to my brother for Christmas. When the shipping company lost, stole, or tossed his package, Julie at Frey worked with me to track...

An affordable green car.
We move slowly, in 20 years we'll be doing about the same.

My mom, Michael Pollan, my teachers.
A fabulous dinner with no thought to source.
