Halloween Costumes to Make Your Friends Green With Envy
No commentsThere are a lot of articles on the internet right now regarding Halloween costumes — not surprising, really, considering it’s just a few short days away — but one that really caught my interest was from the blog EarthFirst. What sets it apart is its hyperspecificity: not just any costumes, but green costumes. Some were […]
Halloween Brings Out the Crafty
No commentsObviously there are holidays year-round, but none seem to require decoration so much as those in the fall and winter months (perhaps for lack of better things to do when holed up inside with the heater on), and it all starts with Halloween. There are pumpkins to carve, bowls of candy to fill, and colored […]

Fun With Upcycling!
No commentsAs much as we love our bags over here, they aren’t the only things in the world that need reusing — not by a long shot. Sustainablog knows that dozens of unsuspecting items are just begging for a little bit of love and assisted reincarnation, and yesterday they graciously collected and handed down a few […]

Each time you use […]
Alternate Uses for Reusable Bags and the Infinite Greatness of Grilled Cheese
No commentsAs long as we’re on the topic of comfort food, please allow me to take a day off from bag bans and plastic taxes to address the wonder that is the grilled cheese sandwich. Possibly one of the single greatest food inventions since sliced bread, it is as delicious as it is easy, and over […]
Making Camping a Little Bit Greener
No commentsYes, it’s still a slow news week — no new legislation, really. But that doesn’t mean we’ve run out of things to talk about! The weather is absolutely beautiful, with just enough sun to be warm and just enough breeze not to overheat, and today Salem News made a handy list of ways to improve […]
Fight the Bag Monster With… a Cuter Bag Monster?
No commentsMy apologies for writing so much about product this week, but it’s been slow for news and there is just so much cuteness (not to mention good ideas) out there that I can hardly handle it.
Take this cheerful little guy, for instance. In Japan, apparently, even those who don’t use reusable bags still see […]
Reusing Bags For Fun and Profit in Arizona
No commentsWhen it comes to a good cause, a little enticement never hurts. This week, a shopping center in Green Valley, Arizona, is helping its customers jump aboard the plastic conservation wagon by turning “bring your own bag” into a game — to the tune of a thousand in prizes.
Starting this week, patrons of the Continental […]
