Yesterday, I listed a ton of suggested ways of how you can green your home on a budget. I had to break the article up into two posts because the ideas just kept flowing out of my head, making the article way too long. Today, I am focusing on water conservation in the home and gardening low […]
Going Budget Green for the Home
Today, a college intern at a local magazine emailed me that she wanted to ask me a few green questions. No problem, I thought. I love to talk about going green, especially on a budget. Ask my friends? Sometimes, I think they would like me to shut up about it. So, when the college intern […]
PSEG GreenFest 2009: New Jersey Green at its Best

Save Water by Licking
Here is an eco thought. How do you save water when baking? Lick the bowl! I did not have to ask my kids more than once to polish off the what was left of the brownie batter. Maybe, I got a finger full of chocolate before the troops took over. Talk about seeing and conquering. Arnold, the […]
Organic Chocolates Never Tasted So Good
Updated 2/12/2012: While I was at the New York Chocolate Show, I was feeling a lot like Charlie, the main character of the book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, as he toured the Wonka Chocolate Factory.
