Hello everyone, I decided to give it another try. I really believe in this website, and I enjoy researching and posting. A very nice friend and Colleague, Becca volunteered her time to update the look a little bit and make it a bit more accessible/easier to find on the internet so hopefully I will have a bit more traffic. Please, if you feel inclined, share the site with anyone who might be interested. That is the way to spread the…

I might actually try this…
For a long time I have been hoping to find alternatives for the plastic bags I continue to use. I no longer use the plastic bags in the grocery store, both for fruit and veggies as well as the bigger grocery bags. These were very easy adjustments that did not cost any effort at all. For garbage and doggy poop, I still am using plastic 🙁 Recently I saw true compostable bags from Trader Joe’s which made me very happy….
a few ecofriendly apps that “just” showed up on my phone….. OffCents ( offset your Co2, earn rewards). Ecosia Plant trees with your searches: Yes this sounded too good to be true so I checked it out on line and it appeared to be legit: they are a search engine that uses 80% of their profits to support organizations that plant trees. I downloaded it. It uses a feedback system to show how many trees are planted and how many…
