    The Future of Grocery Shopping
    Last month while visiting Rochester I popped into the local market my parents have shopped at my entire life. Only having purchased 3 items, but realizing I’d forgotten my re-usable shopping bag, I opted to go bag-less. Before I could get the words, “no bag thank you,” out of my mouth, the young man behind the counter had begun dropping my stuff in a plastic bag....

    Your Guide to Eco-Friendly Cleaning
    I make my own cleaning products here in sunny San Diego. Why? I live just a few blocks from the ocean and I often see my die-hard surfer friends in the water, rain or shine. After each rainfall they tend to get sick because everything we put down our drains really does end up downstream. The next time you’re about to pour, flush, or dump anything down the drain,...

    How to Save Money and Save the Earth

    I had an English neighbor who wagged his finger disapprovingly when they first came out with 1 gz cellphones, circa 1997. “Cancer,” he spat. Even cordless phones with a high enough frequency were off limits. What’s the new iPhone, 3 gz?
