Can We Cut Food Waste on The Biggest “Food Day” of the Year?


As the days of November tick by and Thanksgiving draws ever closer, it’s impossible not to enter a grocery store and now be instantly greeted/accosted with amped up sales and the mass overhauls to utiilize every last inch of floor space with even more food than a grocery store already deems “normal.” While I realize that the majority of us do actually eat more than usual on Thanksgiving (statistically, the average American consumes as much as 3,500 calories at Thanksgiving dinner), I also find it exceptionally hard to imagine that we’re really actually using up all this extra food that’s being carted in for our purchase.

5 Green Lifestyle Changes that You Can Make Today


Yes, we need to make big changes if we’re going to reverse this environmental crisis, but we all have to start somewhere. I’m a big believer in small changes, because it’s better to jump in and do what you can than let yourself get overwhelmed and decide it’s just too much to take on. Talking about reducing our footprints and living greener is all well and good, but in practice it can get a little bit overwhelming

Craft Recycled: Ugly Painting to Chalkboard Sign


Don’t you just love finding hidden treasures on the side of the road? Here’s how I turned a seriously ugly painting into a modern chalkboard for my craft room and market display! There is this house in my neighborhood that’s sort of like the Tardis or Mary Poppins’ bag

Spotted: Free Small Electronics Recycling


In a time where your gadgets almost become outdated by the time you get them home, electronic waste (e-waste) is piling up in landfills . The problems with e-waste go beyond the actual bulk, though. All of those electronics have components made of toxic substances, like arsenic and mercury , that leach into groundwater and pollute the environment.
