In examining my world and how healthy and sustainable it is, I am focusing on pre-packaged things that I can make myself. This would serve several purposes. First, it would be cheaper. Second, it would be healthier. And third, that item may not always be available.
Why am I so angry sometimes? Because you’re not. The sooner you get that way, the better off we’ll all be. Do you know why you’re so apathetic? Because your life is too easy. You don’t have to do physical labor for what you earn. Oil energy takes the place of the sweat energy folks…
The world is on the brink lately… of so many things. Not to portray myself as Nostradamus or anything, but I’ve predicted a lot of the last 7 years of crap in the world. I was in Florida during the height of the housing boom and could see clearly where things were headed. What’s wrong…
I recently took a vacation… and a guilt trip. It is so hard to keep your impact low when you’re traveling. First, there’s the air travel – that is hard to avoid when taking a long trip. So, let’s look past that for now. (I have mixed opinions about carbon offsetting.) I’m going to show…
Unless you are living under a rock, you are probably aware that upwards of 1,000,000 gallons of crude oil per day (according to some estimates) are seeping into the Gulf of Mexico and have been for 4 weeks in a row. If you do the math, that’s roughly 30,000,000 gallons so far. And scientists say…

If you’re a guy, you may want to take this opportunity to clean under your fingernails or pick up a motorcycle magazine. This information is NOT for you. It’s for the ladies who realize how many feminine hygiene products they send to the landfill every year in dealing with their monthly visit from Mother Nature. …
A lot of you read my blog occasionally – maybe even regularly. And I bet you wonder, “Does she really live like that or are these all little ‘experiments’ that she does for the blog in between eating steaks, driving a Hummer and leaving all the lights on 24/7?” You would be very surprised…
Responsibly disposing of our waste is a pretty important task. Many of us don’t give much thought to where our trash ends up, but there is a great big pile of trash in your town or city called the landfill. It is brimming over with all the things you leave out for the trash pickup…
I don’t know if you’re like me, but I sit a lot. Consequently, my shoulder, neck and back are prone to excruciating pain on a regular basis. I go for the occasional massage, which does help, but it gets rather expensive. Even when I sit less and move around more, I seem to feel “tight”…
