Seeing as I published a conscious gift guide for her last week, it’s only fair that I share gift suggestions for the men in your life, too! Christmas is less than two weeks away, so here are some last-minute gift ideas that he’s sure to love.
As with my women’s gift guide, many gifts listed here fall under the environmentally-conscious label. However, I also included gifts that I feel are “conscious” simply because they will be used again and again, not thrown away within the year.… Read More »
Hello and happy Thursday! It’s almost the weekend! 😀 This post was supposed to go up on Wednesday, but the wi-fi is out in our apartment again. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a good internet-free day every now and then—just perhaps not as often as they happen here.
At any rate, with Christmas being less than three weeks away, I thought I’d share some of my top picks for gift ideas for women this Christmas. They mostly fall under the environmentally-conscious label, although I also included gifts that I feel are “conscious” simply because they will be used again and again, not thrown away within the year.… Read More »
Hey, you! I’m still here. The past month has been very busy with travel, a new job, making holiday plans and working on our wedding, but I’m going to try to make an effort to write more regularly. Even if it’s not strictly about green living, which I don’t have a whole lot of updates about for you right now! Blogging is funny, for me it can either be an outlet to relieve stress, or a source of stress if I’m being a perfectionist about it, which it has felt like for the past month–but I’m working on having it be the former 🙂 At any rate, I think I’m going to continue my mostly-break from social media a little while longer. It’s been very refreshing!… Read More »
Hello and happy Friday! I’m excited for this Labor Day weekend–E has Monday off of work and we have a whole lot of nothing planned. Eep. Anyways, while I’m working on my first environmental research-y post for next week, I thought I’d pop in to share some recipes we’ve been loving lately!
I plan to write extensively on the topic of eating meat and its environmental impact in the future, but it’s common knowledge by now that the meat industry has a huge carbon footprint and is extremely water- and land-intensive. The way that most animals are currently raised, and the quantities in which meat is currently consumed, are not sustainable for our planet.… Read More »
I’m passionate about food! I love to garden, cook, bake, and read everything I can get my hands on about the food industry. I also love to be as close to my food as possible. I love to see it go from its component parts–that I grow or produce, if possible–all the way to its final jarred or plated version. There is something incredibly empowering about knowing exactly how what you’re putting in your mouth was grown, harvested, and made edible.
But even if you’re not especially passionate about gardening or cooking, another great reason to make more staples from scratch is money. Simply making yogurt from scratch, we save $5 to $10 per week. We’re definitely not through with our transition from prepared foods to foods made from scratch, but today I thought I’d share the changes we have made, including recipes and how-to’s! … Read More »
