We’re greening up our new office by replacing the incandescent light bulbs with Earthmate energy saving bulbs. By using Earthmate bulbs, we will use an average of 75% less electricity, help reduce our dependence on fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

For instance, we replaced our 45 watt overhead bulbs with Earthmate 8-watt Dimmable Reflector Bulbs, which will save us about $61 and last up to 7 times longer than our standard light bulbs. And bonus: they come with a 9-year warranty!

If you are looking for a great, long-lasting, energy efficient light bulb, learn more about Earthmate’s products and company philosophy. We like their packaging, too, made from 100% post-consumer waste.

Like most kids, mine love bathtime. And while I take care to avoid the toxic chemicals in some bath products by making careful choices, at least I don’t have to worry about the safety of the water itself. As it should be.

But that’s very much not the case for the Hall-Massey family of West Virginia. Quite the contrary, they do have to worry about the safety of the water itself. So much so that the kids take super-quick baths and they buy and truck in water that they store in big barrels on the porch. Today? In America?

This family’s very unsafe drinking water is chronicled by the New York Times in the second article (and compelling video) in its important series on the increasing pollution in American waters. As Mrs. Hall-Massey says so well:

“How can we get digital cable and Internet in our homes, but not clean water? … How is this still happening today?”

How is this still happening today?
Mrs. Hall-Massey’s question is easily answered: the Clean Water Act and…

Looking for a great way to have a green lawn all year round while conserving water and eliminating nasty fertilizers and pesticides?  Planet GreenGrass , along with many others, has the answer! It’s with a new breed of grass, eco-grass!

So you ask “why eco and why now?”  Well, eco-grass is actually a modern-day descendent of astro-turf.  Its been completely revamped, and often sells by their true-to-life counterparts: Rye, St. Augustine, and Fescue.   Best of all, many of the companies make eco-grass from PET (recycled soda bottles and water bottles).  Making it re-recyclable, or cradle to cradle!

Who would have thought a plastic product could be so green?  Artificial grass doesn’t need watering, leaving you with more time to do whatever you want (and more money for you to spend doing it).   And, if it doesn’t need watering that means there won’t be any growing!  No growing?  No mowing!  Did you know that studies have shown running a lawn mower for one hour is equivalent…

People are obsessed with their cells phones. They have to have the newest and the latest with all the bells and whistles.  They always seem to be on them.  You can’t even have a civil conversation with some people since they are constantly checking their emails and texting.  But could all this accessibility come with a price?

According to the Environmental Working Group,based upon their 10-month research to understand cell phone risks, they found that cell phones do emit radiation.  In fact, the EWG found that it is enough to cause concern about potential cancer risk. Until more conclusive research is done as to the effects of this radiation, the EWG has compiled a list of the most comprehensive online consumer guide to cell phone radiation.  They have  rated more than 1,000 cell phones marketed in the U.S.

“In our Cell Phone Radiation Guide you will be able to:

• Look up your phone;
• Read and download tips to reduce your exposure;
• See the…
