Going Green Means Eating Vegan

Regardless of how you look at it, all the buzz about going green is giving many people reason to pause and think about their lifestyle choices and how they impact other people, animals, and the planet.

A friend of mine over at the Humane Society of the United States just sent me this great news story from the Washington DC area linking the facts about environmental friendliness and compassionate eating.

It is a short news video that is full of great facts, but be warned, it may make you hungry! But likely you'll be craving to try something new...

Reusuable Water Containers & Why You Need One

It dawned me recently when I looked in my recycle bin how many water bottles we've been throwing away. At first I was proud of myself for being a "recycler" but then recognized how much waste I was creating in the process.



I was wandering around Whole Foods as we sometimes do on a lazy afternoon and I came across some of their "fancy metal water bottles." Intrigued with creating a long term solution to my water drinking habit, I purchased one. I have to say it has really encouraged me to drink more water. I refill it at home with my filtered water cooler and carry it everywhere. Even inside restaurants. I think I knew this but was grossed out to see restaurants provide free water straight from the tap. Anyway... save the earth and reduce the risk of ingesting leeched chemicals from those pesky water bottles.

Here's a great site with tons of options. Let's make it cool and trendy to care about not creating so much unnecessary waste.
