EAT WILD: SUSTAINABLE MEAT AND DAIRY DIRECTORY

1168493_two_cows.jpgm o r e (mindful meat and dairy)

I've talked a bunch of times here about meat's effect on the environment. The good news for meat eaters is that yes, cutting back is the best thing to do. But you don't have to cut it out altogether. It turns out that pasture-raised, grass-fed beef is not only healthier for you (and for them as corn works a number on their digestive systems) and even tastier, it's better for our world in terms of greenhouse gases ...

Bug Vacuuming for Organic Pest Control

One of the main challenges facing organic gardeners is (no duh) pest control. The weapons in our arsenal is relatively limited. While, ideally, healthy plants grown in rich biologically-alive organic soils should be visited less frequently by insects, it still happens and can be devastating to your garden. Organic pest control products, like Neem Oil or Rotenone, are expensive and stuff, and often aren’t terribly effective. Also, products ...

Coming to an Ace Hardware near you – Wind Turbines?

Start-up EarthTronics plans to begin selling small wind turbines directly to consumers through Ace Hardware stores this fall. Resembling a giant wheel, the company says the turbine can start generating power with a mere 2 mph wind. The product’s upper limit is 45 miles per hour. It could generate about 2,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year, says Brian Levine, vice [...]

GREEN RENTERS UNITE

970504_fire_escape_1.jpgm o r e (eco-savvy apartments)

I'm a renter. And I'm green. And on many levels, my hands are tied. But there are still things we green renters can do to make our pad as sustainable as possible. (I got my landlord to let me replace carpet with bamboo flooring and he's at least *interested* in an insulating blanket for the water heater.)
