Green Talk is getting a lot of interest from Jezebel’s article. “I Sold My Panties Online and My Mom Found Out.” I swear I never wrote an underwear recycling article, although it would be interesting. It took awhile for me to figure out why everyone was coming to the site from the Panty article. So, [...]

Do you have a bunch of broken, awful looking, glued together, overly chipped plates and saucers around the house? How about some of your children’s ceramic work that is really cute because you love them, but you have no idea what you are going to do with it? (Parents, don’t shoot me. I have four kids [...]
Are you the crafty type? A person who can take ordinary trash and make it into something jaw droppingly awesome? Or maybe you are a wanna be like me who just admires from afar, but could never put craftiness into action. Recently, I got to drool like an adolescent adoring Justin Bieber while flipping through [...]

I love crafty ideas and making your own candy wrapper napkin rings is one sweet idea. TerraCycle explains how to make these unique napkin holders. Anna, who is TerraCycle? They definitely have a cool name. I love the name too. In fact, I gush about TerraCycle so much on the website, you would think I [...]

I can’t recycle the crate but have been giving them away to be reused. People sure love them. My cousin uses them to store her [...]
For some dumb reason I own two swing sets. Long story, but to sum up the reason… an impulse buy. Here is the short condensed version. I bought two adorable recycled horse tire swings about fifteen years. Way before I was a certified treehugger. So, don’t go thinking I bought them simply because [...]
I swear I only wear a pair of panty hose one time since I evidently run my hose. Instead of throwing them out, I decided to take a new approach. Putting on the old green thinking cap, I ponder how can I reuse them? Everything has to have many lives just like cats? Let’s look [...]
Use your power tools to create one delicious, creative dinner. Huh? No, I am not sipping a little of the sauce. Ask Duke DesRochers, the creative chef/handy man behind his Renaissance Man video (see above) as his entry to become the Next Food Network Star. Think Emeril Lagasse of Green Planet/Bob Villa with a little of [...]
I was toying with this post on how to write it and came up with 2 different senario both with a green intent. I am curious which version you like. Version #1: Are you Chained to your Bathroom? When you read the title of this artcle, you are muttering “ugh” in response to pictures of [...]
