Rent One! Yeah, that's right. You choose a tree and The Living Christmas Tree Rental delivers a it to your house. You keep it for three weeks and they come back and pick it up. The trees are then planted within the Portland, Oregon community. How does that not make sense and why aren't more people doing this? Well, if you don't live in Portland, you can still purchase a live tree ...{ 0 comments }
From the company, Omlet UK, that brought the world The Eglu (portable chicken coop), comes the Beehaus . We all know the importance of bees play in our everyday lives- pollination of crops, honey, etc. The Beehaus (only available in the UK) comes complete with everything you need to keep bees in your backyard or in your urban sanctuary roof top deck. While I commend Omlet on their great ideas ...{ 0 comments }
I must say that I'm shocked having just received a marketing piece put out by International Paper titled : " Down To Earth - A practical look at environmental issues and trends" . They are quick to dismiss using post consumer content in their papers. This six page marketing piece reads more of an act of desperation than anything else. You be the judge...

Save The Bay in San Francisco is one group trying to stop the use of plastic bags that are clogging up our waterways, killing aquatic animals, fish and our ecosystem. This is a great PSA put out by our friends at Free Range Studios . Think twice before you take that plastic bag!

Spring is in the air! Or at least that's what the calendar is telling me. Perhaps this year, you're trying to reduce trips to the grocery story or farmer's market and considering planting a garden of your own. Planting and maintaining a garden can be easy and rewarding. Even the Obama White House has been in the news this week that they will be converting a 1100 square foot ...{ 0 comments }
We've all heard the saying that your junk is someone else's treasure. This couldn't be more true in Seattle. Over the years, my office has placed bets on how long it will take before stuff we've put out on the curb gets taken. Everything from old desks, chairs, copy machines, you name it... I still have yet to put something outside that someone hasn't grabbed. I don't want to encourage people ...{ 0 comments }
I remember in middle school spending countless hours writing letters to Hall of Fame baseball players asking them for their autograph. Every day, I'd toss three or four letters in the mailbox with a self addressed stamped envelope and a hand written note to some of baseball's greats. Many of the letters I sent were never answered. There were a few that actually took the time to write back or ...{ 0 comments }
Plastic - it's everywhere. I couldn't walk out my front door yesterday without seeing one of those horrible plastic grocery bags hanging from my tree as a result of Seattle's last wind storm. It's great to see that many shoppers are starting to bring their own bags with them to the store instead of taking home a "throw away bag". The past couple of years has spawned a reusable bag craze for stores ...{ 0 comments }
