The 11th Hour, a must see Watching this movie was like a bit of a Green Festival / Bioneers reunion for me. William McDonough, Tom Lindsey, David Suzuki, Tzeporah Berman, Kenny Ausubel... All incredibly gifted communicators and leaders in the environmental and sustainability movement, captured alongside shocking and awe...

Critical mass - celebrate riding your bike! I feel compelled to write a review as a photo of me participating in last week's critical mass is posted here. The idea of participating in critical mass has appealed to me for months, no, actually years. I first heard of it at a friend's party, and then saw it live in action coming down Polk...

Lettus - Cafe Organic - Love it! I've been here a number of times and always leave feeling healthy, sustained and satisfied. They have a great menu from which I've tried the quinoa bowl, carrot, ginger, lemon apple juice, chicken avocado sandwich and cabbage salad. Everything is organic and they source their produce and...

HP Planet Partners doing its part A few weeks ago, my boyfriend handed me this hand-sized green package, addressed to Hewlett Packard Planet Partners. He explained that our printer ink had run out and that we could send the empty cartridge to HP for recycling. I'd heard about this type of program before, but hadn't taken part in...

hrm... tastes like old popsicle juice I love mojitos because they are fresh (mixed with freshly squeezed lime juice and mint leaves) and refreshing (club soda bubbly...) Unfortunately this organic drink reminded me of the flavor you get from sucking on an old wooden popsicle stick that's soaked up that freezer-burned, strangely...

coconut water that made me think... I had read some coconut milk reviews on here and wanted to try some so was happy when I saw this at my favorite local, organic sandwich place (Boxed Foods). The coconut flavor was light and I could taste the passion fruit and orange essence - very refreshing. I read that coconut water, especially...

Lasts up to 9 years?!? We finally bought some cfl light bulbs for our lamp. We had been discussing whether to get clfs or led lights - the argument was that cfls have mercury in them and could be dangerous if they broke versus the leds would save just as much energy and not be as dangerous. Well in the end, when our...

trying to be healthy eating my beans I usually get fish or chicken to put into my home made salads but this time I wanted to try something lighter and easier to prepare. I picked up a can of these organic kidney beans at my local corner store and I'd do them again. The texture is kinda creamy and they didn't have a strong taste which...

i like the smell and it works Based on some of the other reviews here I didn't think I was going to like this laundry detergent, but actually I do and here's why:
1) Ecover uses only plant based ingredients that are gentle on my skin. I often hand wash my bras and other delicate items and when in a rush I don't use gloves...

Cannot go wrong with this organic vanilla ice cream I love ice cream and you absolutely cannot go wrong with this one. This company has been around before green was cool and really knows how to make a super high quality product that is very satisfying to both your taste buds and your conscious.
