We won’t renew our symphony season tickets —

— because they effectively closed off the third tier box seats by pricing them well out of our ability to pay, forcing us (and presumably others) onto the floor. Rather than being an elitist thing, this has to do with their refusal to accomodate my allergies. Specifically, the chemical sensitivities to things that most people […]


Happy Earth Day

I have a whole slew of webpages that have caught my attention over the last several months. Some of them are about how to minimize your impact on the planet’s resources while maintaining a comfortable life. Some of them have been (or will be) mentioned and linked to in other posts here. This first is […]


Yummy Vegan Knitting (reprise)

Lolo, the blogger who writes VeganYumYum, was on the Martha Stewart Show today. I am not really a fan of Martha Stewart, but I do love to read this blog! It’s inspiring and helpful to me as I try to come up with yummy, attractive things to feed my family.  It was great to see […]

Care2.com is a social networking site with many places you can explore for ideas on ecologically sound living. Email groups, networking […]


Blog Action Day: The Environment…

So many things a person could write about, I spent all weekend thinking and working on this post. Here is my meagre contribution to this month’s Blog Action Day. Of course, we all know by now that this year’s Nobel Peace Prize was given out to people who have been working on Environmental Issues (Global […]


Finally, the Reason I don’t do Housework is Validated!

Well, the actual reason is that I find so many other interesting things to do… but I knew the sprays and other substances often used to clean and “dust” are toxic to my body. Now there is proof it isn’t just me, and it’s not a figment of our imaginations! Follow this link to the […]
