I have started using safe cosmetics for my face and body. I learned that our skin absorbs something like 60% of what we put on it. I am using all natural products that offer recyclable packaging like Burt's Bees and Kiss My Face.30 days of green deals from The Daily Green

1. Think outside the recycling box. It's simple: These days you can recycle a lot more than paper, glass, aluminum and plastic.
Parked the SUV!
Unfortunately I am stuck in a 3 year lease in a Jeep SUV but I have still found a way to keep it and be green. I limit myself to driving 250 miles per month and carpool the rest. If I bought a hybrid and drove 1,500 miles per month, I'm pretty sure it would be worse for the environment than the small amount of driving I'm doing.You could still be "green" when you go out.
I feel like sometimes it's hard to continue being eco-friendly when you are out and about with your friends and such, unless you drive a hybrid, walk everywhere you go, etc. (Which I don't have and I don't do.)
Thankfully the lovely Rachel McAdams and her friends head a site called greenissexy.org. In it they suggest simple ways that you and I could be "green," and here are simple ways we all can continue saving the planet once we have stepped out of the house:
1.
Hybrid vs. vegetarian?
That cow you're eating for dinner every night is more damaging to the environment than the SUV that your neighbor drives. Factory farming is bad for public health and the ecosystem. I don't understand why more emphasis isn't put on a vegetarian lifestyle in the green community.The Suburbs or The Cities?
I thought this was an interesting article because while I live in the suburbs I plan to move out to the city and hopefully raise my future family in the city as well. Young families, however, tend to move out from the city to the suburbs for a more friendly environment.
According to Kenny Luna of treehugger.com, "Based around the simple concept that cities incubate new businesses, connect people, ideas, money and markets while their ports and airports connect us to the world, a non-profit group called CEO’s for Cities seeks to help augment and revive cities by helping them to throw off the negative connotations so often associated with them.
What do you think of these "green" bags?
According to treehugger.com:
"Now that its organic hemp and linen designs are taking off, the Australia-based Envirosax is expanding its use of sustainable fabrics with a new collection of organic bamboo shopping totes.
Comprising 55 percent organic bamboo and 45 percent linen—and made under fair labor conditions in China—the 100 percent biodegradable carriers showcase the same mod aesthetic and tensile strength of its predecessors. Each bag folds into its own drawstring pouch for ease of storage, so you can keep one or two stowed away in your car's glove compartment or in your purse for future carrying needs."
