Even though I’m tempted by some of the new, post-Teflon “non-stick” cookware, I resist. They’re just too new to know for sure if they’re any safer. And there’s a history in this country of replacing bad chemicals with different bad chemicals.

No thanks, not in my kitchen.

In my kitchen, it’s guilty until proven innocent. And the cookware I know is “innocent” is (y-a-w-n) the same stuff I’ve been using - and EWG has been recommending - for years: cast iron, stainless steel, and oven-safe glass.

How boring is that?

But how great that a few boring, cheap, available choices are the answer to environmentally healthy cooking?!

Still have some non-stick around the house?
It’s not practical to replace every non-stick pot, pan, and cookie sheet at once (especially these days). If you’re still cooking on non-stick surfaces, follow these tips for safer cooking:

• Never preheat nonstick cookware at high heat — empty pans can rapidly reach high temperatures. Heat at the…

A new online store is aiming to transform how the hotel industry finds and buys eco-amenities for environmentally-conscious travelers.

The new www.EcoGreenHotelStore.com, launched last weekend, is a one-stop marketplace of over 1000 bulk products and services for the green hospitality industry; a place for property managers and supply-buyers to find environmentally sensitive amenities, earth-friendly cleaning supplies and sustainable furniture to biodegradable key cards and marketing services designed specifically for the green hotel industry.

“Over and over again, environmentally conscious hotel professionals have told us they wished they could simplify things and purchase their green supplies from one location…and so we set out to create the most comprehensive online source for environmentally friendly hospitality goods and services in the industry,” said Scott Parisi, President of EcoGreenHotel.

For about a year now, Parisi has been working with veteran specialty suppliers…

As a Galapagos scuba diver witnessing the tragic global destruction and environmental impact of overfishing, dying reefs, heavy metals from industrial pollution, kelp deforestation and invasive marine species, I want to do everything I can to protect this island’s remarkable microcosms. Is it possible for us to enjoy the benefits of Galapagos diving without leaving further footprints on this, the most wonderful of natural resources?

To answer this question, I came up with some helpful tips for “greener” Galapagos diving:

Choose Green Accommodations

Look for resorts that grow some or all of their own food in an organic garden, and create some or all of their own energy. Even simply replacing standard bulbs with compact florescent bulbs is an inexpensive way resorts and hotels can reduce their energy footprint and begin to go green.

Ask about how they handle their water consumption. Reducing the amount of laundry they wash is great, but it’s only a start. Do they use…

Last week, a huge blow came down on environmental efforts in Puerto Rico. A future nature preserve, a full 3,240 acres, was taken off the agenda by the commonwealth’s governor – sparking fears in many that the land will be used for hotel resorts and other detrimental human activity.

With natural fauna and other wildlife quickly becoming depleted throughout and within the world’s most beautiful tourist destinations, it is crucial that nature preserves become established in order to protect and ensure the survival of entire ecosystems, including endangered species.

However, politics tend to often stand in the way of progress.

Last week, a slated preserve creation in northeast Puerto Rico – plans for which were put in place back in 2007 as the new Northeast Ecological Corridor – was officially canceled. The 3,240 acres of coastline nestled alongside tropical forest is a prime nesting ground for endangered leatherback sea turtles.

While the government had been trying to secure the…
