Can (or box) of worms

For those of you who do not know (which is almost everyone), we (Tom and I) have begun our adventure in vermicomposting. So far it has been very fun/gross, but we did have two worms commit suicide today.  I am not sure why yet but it’s got me a little worried. Hopefully the others have [...]

my eco life has been flipped upside down

I have had my fair share of reusable bottles. I just can’t justify buying disposable bottles of water when you can fill up for free or almost free. Just think of how much energy is being saved just by filling up with a reusable bottle instead of drinking from a plastic bottle that gets thrown [...]

Sport green laces!

Found this just now. It’s kind of geared towards athletes and stuff, especially famous ones, to spread the word, but I think it’s a really snazzy concept. Unfortunately, I very rarely wear shoes with shoelaces so I probably won’t be buying these. Plus, I already have a pair of shoelaces that are made from post-consumer [...]

Aminals and Erf Day

By the way, I saw DisneyNature’s Earth last Wednesday in celebration of Earth Day! It was great! But there was a lot of sadness behind it too. That’s just how the world works, I guess. They tried to make it happy again but the sadness kind of just resonated within me. I really wish animals [...]

Greenie points

The little step I am taking towards saving the world today? Well, my laptop overheats like no other, so rather than thawing my chicken by wasting water or electricity, I have turned off my cooling pad and put my tupperware of frozen chicken next to where the computer gets hottest. Haha. The outside of it [...]

Time traveling demons!

This Saturday past, Thomas Robert and I cheated on his roommates with mine. We had quite the eco-friendly weekend. Being carless and all, we bussed around to reach our destinations. Lazy as we were, we stayed in bed until late morning. I was then fed gruel disguised as something called “Farina” (just kidding, it was [...]

Adventures with the Two-Wheeled Beast

Before all the hype about gas rising to four bucks, I was looking at folding bikes. It wasn’t because I wanted to save money on gas, since I don’t drive, and it wasn’t because I had any difficulty getting to places I needed to go, because there is a shuttle that stops right around the [...]

Discovery Channel’s Green TV Network

This is kind of weird…
So Discovery is launching a new “green” TV network and all the shows described on that page include some extremely random casts. Ludacris and Tommy Lee? Battling against the toxic forces destroying Mother Earth? They make it seem like they’re the new Captain Planets or something, which, might I add, was a [...]

BLOOP

I’ve been so out of it lately. I haven’t done anything productive in weeks, it seems. I’m such a bum! And I’ve been getting sleepy a lot earlier lately. What is wrong with me? Also, I am very irritable. Maybe it’s the Spring Quarter Blues. I can’t wait for summer.
I’ve been flyering this week for this [...]

Earth Day 2008

I probably did not do everything I could have to maximize greenness today, but I did stop by the little Earth Day Fair on campus to see what clubs and such were tabling there. I got a few goodies, which include a homemade notebook of recycled paper, a biodegradeable highlighter, a foldaway shopping bag, and [...]
