Choosing a non-toxic baby mattress that’s made without all of the chemicals associated with conventionally-constructed mattresses is an important step if you want your child to sleep in a healthy environment. But it’s even more difficult if you also want to choose one that’s good for the environment.

• Is your dirty car driving you crazy? Wish you could take care of it RIGHT NOW, without having to drive to the car wash or pull out the hose, mop, rags and detergents?
• Tired of paying $15-30 (+ tip) - or more! - to have your car “professionally” washed, only to be disappointed by the result? That mediocre carwash is costing you $150 to $480 a year!
• Are you one of millions of apartment and condo residents who end up paying a premium to have your car washed, because you don't have access to a hose or can’t do it yourself at home?
• Are you in a drought-restricted area, where water is a precious resource (think waterless car wash), and the city hands out FINES for washing your car at home?
• Looking for a simple – and inexpensive! – way to go “green” TODAY?

You’re getting ready to bring baby home and want to make sure you’re choosing just the right furniture, food, and clothing so the baby can be as safe as possible in their new home. We all want our children to be safe, but there are many hazards you’ll need to think about as you sort through the options.

Ok, I’m addicted to organic foods and am a self proclaimed organic foodie! I guess you could say I’m a big fan of organic everything…especially organic food; I founded a website called ‘Organic Authority,’ afterall!

As I trained to be a professionally trained chef in culinary school, it was the tasty flavor of organic foods that got me hooked on the organic movement (before culinary school, I could have cared less about organic foods and green what!?!). I simply couldn’t believe how much better organic foods tasted when compared to conventional ones!

Many people not only want to have a beautiful garden to enjoy, but create it for the wildlife in their area to enjoy as well.

Huh? Invite squirrels and birds to eat my garden? Well, yes, actually. While millions of gardeners constantly do battle with animals and other critters to keep their garden intact, some people actually design their gardens with the expectation that their plants will be munched on! Why on earth would people do this?

Conventional mattresses are what bad dreams are made of. You take great care to choose healthy foods and drinks for your baby, but have you considered how their sleep setup might be harmful to their health?

Hey Everyone,

There's a lot happening in the consumer product world these days. There's the tomato salmonella outbreak that has sickened hundreds of consumers and, U.S. marshals seized pet-food products stored in unsanitary conditions at the PETCO Animal Supplies Distribution Center in Joliet, Illinois. These pet foods were susceptible to rodent, bird and pest contamination, a violation of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.

I don't know about you, but with all these food scares, I am even more inspired to stick to my strict organic diet (I just recently lost another 5 pounds without even trying). With food and oil prices on the rise I know this can be a tough decision economically, but what most people don't understand is that certified organic farmers have to abide by stricter rules and regulations then conventional farmers imposed on them by our government.

Good news! You can eat healthier, save money, and lose weight, all at the same time!

Transitioning to a healthy, nearly all-organic, whole foods diet is a major factor in how I lost my last hard to lose 10 pounds 10 years ago. In fact, green living is the way I've been able to keep the weight off ever since!

Follow these food shopping tips to a less expensive, healthier lifestyle. The only thing that will fatten up is your wallet!

Water gardening has become very popular in the last 20 years. Many homeowners have installed small ponds or water features to grow a wide variety of plants and to enjoy the ambiance that water provides.

But you don't need a large yard or tons of time and energy to build a water garden. If you don't have the time, money or ambition to create a large water feature, you can build a water garden in a tub.

If you’ve already built your baby’s bed foundation with a non-toxic crib mattress, you’ll want to dress it up with organic baby bedding that’s not only healthier for their tiny bodies, it’s healthier for the earth, too.
