While my nearly-paperless office uses a high-quality inkjet for my small printing needs, I have friends who routinely spend hundreds of dollars for new laser toner cartridges. Sure, the output may be measured in thousands (or tens of thousands) of pages, but the cost of the cartridges is.…well, steep! It’s steep for the earth as… more

As a writer, I’m pretty particular about my pens. They’ve got to have the right feel, the right heft, the right balancing…they need to be ever-ready with the right flow of ink, with no blotting or fruitless looping before a mark appears.

I’m doing something a little different today…and I need your help. Just yesterday, I read an article on Treehugger.com about the ongoing debate: whether “greens focus too much on climate change.” After all, consuming less energy and water, saving natural resources for coming generations, living in clean, non-toxic indoor environments, and not littering the world… more

That’s a pretty outrageous question to ask — after all, most of us spend a good bit of time and money on cleansers, disinfectants, air fresheners, etc., etc.! And that’s just the problem. With 80,000 chemical compounds in common commercial use, from rugs and cabinets to personal care products to household cleansers, our indoor air… more

One of the wonderful things about the green business community is that, well, it is a community, sharing many of the same goals, values and certainly the same overriding mission: to care for and protect the Earth. In that community spirit, you’ll often find green businesses joining forces and collaborating in mutual support…as someone said,… more

Beware BPA Exposure, Says the FDA (At Last!)

Phila — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 19:37:45 +0000

Why does this look to me like another (obvious) argument against letting an industry self-regulate and self-test? Today, Lindsay Layton of the Washington Post revealed that after years of rumblings from the scientific, medical and public health communities, the FDA has finally expressed concerns that perhaps Bisphenol A — the chemical compound used to harden… more
