movin’

So I’m going to be moving over the next few days. And then again late in the month or so.
I’ll be as good as I can about posting, but I will definitely disappear this weekend and possibly on Monday.
Wish me luck in my great move to Southern California.

news: tablescraps needed in LA

I read today in the LA Times that the city is thinking about launching a composting program.
City officials are hoping that participants in the table-scrap collection program will embrace the idea of separating their kitchen waste by dumping it in the new city-issued green pail and later emptying that pail in the city’s green 60-gallon […]

Green Site: EcoStiletto

image:ecostiletto
Once upon a time there was a site called Green Girl Guide.
Then, National Geographic was mad. They had a site called The Green Guide. A smidgin too close to the Green Girl Guide.
So the Green Girl Guide became EcoStiletto. Rachel Lincoln Sarnoff is the driving force behind the site and has been all over […]

Arizona Jeans Organic Line

Arizona Jeans has two great eco-friendly options for you. They have a Recycled collection, where products must be at least 25% recycled material, like cotton, glass or polyester, and an Organic collection, where products must be at least 70% organic, like cotton and linen.

This book understands that no one can do everything, […]

Rashida Jones Joins Celeb Eco-Designers

I’ll never ever ever understand what it is about being a celebrity that makes one an innately better designer than, say, me! But as long as they’re designing, I like it when they go green!
