Have you heard of the 100 Mile Diet? For once, it’s nice not to hear the word “diet” associated with the latest weight loss craze. Instead, the 100 Mile Diet, or Challenge, is all about the environment and the importance of eating locally. The challenge is to include only foods grown within 100 miles of […]
It should be effortless to have an environmentally-aligned lifestyle during the summer. We spend every waking moment possible outdoors. We sleep under the stars. Blades of grass are stuck in our hair, the sun has kissed our bare flesh, our toes wiggle down into the cool earth. In summertime we are at one with nature. […]
Did you know that packaging makes up about 30% of our waste by weight and 50% by volume? While you can recycle a lot of different types of packaging, it is really much more environmentally friendly to avoid it when possible. Many environmentally conscious Americans are looking for smart ways to cut back on waste […]
The last weekend of May is our first official opportunity to sniff the spring weather and gear up for a summer playing in the sunshine. Memorial Day is the opening of the outdoor entertainment season. Picnics, cook-outs, and camping all involve packing up part of our kitchen and transporting it to somewhere without kitchen appliances. […]

The meat industry uses up a vast amount of […]
Can you wash and rinse a dirty plate in 4.4 seconds using 9.5 ounces of water? Like many in Generations X and Y, I grew up in a home without a dishwasher. What was once seen as an economic slight (the affluent homes I babysat in all had dishwashers) became a source of pride once […]
Memorial Day weekend is an annual turning point towards summer. While it’s still officially spring, Memorial Day is a marker and a sure sign that summer is on its way. In preparation for summer, this is a great time to consider one of our most precious resources on this planet – water. Depending on where […]
Metal knives on planes but paper forks in our own kitchens? I’m starting to stock up on snacks in anticipation of mealtime on my flight in a couple days. It lasts 5 hours and I’ll be lucky if I get as many pretzels. When rising jet fuel prices forced airlines to cut costs, passenger amenities […]
Lobsters and martinis ordered to impress but left untouched. Bourbon-drenched brunches, cross-country flights, and lavish luncheon spreads, all to land a client.
