About
There are so many different information sources out there how can we figure out what we should do? There are books out there, but by the time they are printed not all the information is up-to-date. This blog is meant to be a resource for all of us out there who want to know more about “green” living but do not know where to start.
The goal of this blog is for me to research information and share it with you on how we can “green” our lives. We all know about changing out light bulbs but what else can we do? I hope to cover things like where to find a farmers market to discuss possible investments in the stock market in the up and coming alternative energy sector… how to “green” our barbeque’s and holiday dinners (do not worry I am not vegan or even vegetarian so no tofrukey recommendations).
Some things I tell you about I may not be doing myself. I think we do not have the resources in this country for all of us to do all of this everyday but if we start making economic decisions that are “green” the business world will make it easier for us to do these things more frequently and at a lower cost.
I am not a crunchy granola hippy living on a commune. I want to give the average person resources to make more informed decision on how they can improve (or at least not hurt) the environment.

Great work, Leigh!
I applaud your efforts and will strive to send some ideas along to you as I come up with them or hear them. You inspire me.
tip you may have already covered: Bring your old plastic grocery bags to the dog park. There are containers there for dog owners to ‘take a bag’ to use for pooper-scooping. What a great way to put those old bags to use!
Once you’ve run out of bags to donate, you know it’s time to buy a reusable grocery bag or two. Keep them in your car so that each time you shop, you can use your own bags and help save the planet.

Hi,
Your blog looks great! I love finding blogs like these, that allow you to become more environmentally friendly without doing something as drastic as going off the grid.
I really enjoyed reading your blog. Perhaps you would like to check mine out too: I discuss environmental, human, and animal rights infringements to the best of my ability. If you like, then we can add each other to the blog roll.
Let me know :o).
Great work!

Hello!
I am the Social Media contact for The Baddish PR Group here in New York. I’m
writing to share the news of this incredible grass fed beef for consideration of a write up on your website (we love your site by the way). Please feel free to email me with any questions or comments. I can get you some samples of the beef to try for yourself if you’re interested. See below for more information.
La Cense Grass Fed Beef, http://www.lacensebeef.com., Organic, Healthy, and Flavorful!
La Cense cattle are raised in a healthy, more humane way, free from
pesticides and antibiotics and are left to graze in open pastures on a
huge Montana farm. And, because they are grass-fed, they are a lot
healthier. As you know, we live in a country that is concerned with
weight and as such, La Cense beef has fewer calories (for example, a 6
oz. steak has 100 fewer calories) and is high in omega 3 fatty acids,
which enhances heart health and reduces the risk of obesity. LA CENSE IS
IDEAL for foodies who are concerned about the planet but don’t want to
give up flavor.
Thank you for your consideration. We’ve already been written up on http://www.spungle.com and http://www.luxist.com. Our write up on Luxist includes a video of a tasting, definitely worth watching! http://www.luxist.com/2008/04/28/tasting-the-la-cense-beef/
With a product this healthy and great, the world should definitely know about it.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best,
Andrew DiPalma

Just found your blog and intend to check in often. I’ve embarked on a self-education journey to the “green side”, so to speak. You’ve got some great info here. Mind if I add you to my blogroll? http://www.simplestewardship.wordpress.com/
