I loooove your site. I, too am a mom who has a passion for organic living and all that goes with it, but I struggle with credibility because of my life-long weight problem. I call it my “Wedding Planner Syndrome” (citing the line Jennifer Lopez says on the movie…”those who can’t do, teach…those who can’t wed, plan!”) Although, in order to really get the message across to my children, I have to get in order before they become fully aware of the dichotomy that is me:) Thanks for contributing to this movement! I’m a regular reader, now!

Hi Lynn,

great post on 350 today. Why don’t you interconnect it with WWF Climate page. It will be visible there and on all other blogs publishing this network.

WWF page : http://blogs.panda.org/climate/2009/10/22/what-are-you-doing-on-24-october/ .

How to clip your content on the WWF International Climate page ?
Simple :
1. Click on the “connected” badge at the end of the post and discover the WWF Climate sidebar.
2. On the sidebar, click on “embed & connect”,
3. Embed the little code into your blog post or site (better to paste it directly at the end of your post as it will automatically grab part of its content and network it around…)

That’s it !
You’ll be part of the sites shown on WWF sidebar and visible on all other sites that are connected there…

We’re a small team in Switzerland (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). And we’ve just started it. Need your feedback.

Sharing with you so that you will share too. 3.5 Billion wire hangers end up in landfills each year. Big problem with a simple solution that will save money for consumers, businesses and at the same time help to save our Planet!!!

Great site!! I’m so glad I found it. I just decided to start sharing ideas for greener healthier living myself and was thrilled to find a great site that does the same. A big Pollan and Bittman fan, my family is trying to eat local, organic, and fresh as much as possible. It’s not easy living this way, but sometimes I like the challenge, and feel there’s just, ‘opportunity’ to change the way we and others live.

I just wanted to share a great way we have stumbled upon to reuse those plastic bags that come in cold cereal boxes. My husband originally started saving them to use for when he epoxies boat parts that he wants to keep from sticking to certain other parts. Then he took what turned out to be a lengthy hiatus–from boatmaking, not saving those darn bags; they were everywhere & seemed to be multiplying!

Long story short, now we use them mostly in place of produce bags at the grocery store. I just keep about a dozen in my larger grocery bags in the back seat of the truck, so I don’t forget them at home. They are wonderfully durable and easy to clean & dry for reuse. If I’m packing a lunch, one or two bags & a binder clip & I’m good to go.

I haven’t tried this yet, but I am wondering if–once they get a few holes or have reached the end of their container life, they could be shredded (in the home shredder) & used for packing material…What do YOU all use them for?

suzanne.

Dear Organic Mania,

We were glad to see the friendliness of your site as well as the valuable advice and solutions you have for everyday decisions. For the upcoming Mother’s Day we thought your site may be interested in sharing in our efforts to promote awareness in our communities. The idea behind Changing the Present is to make charitable giving rewarding and transparent for its donors. The site features specific “gifts,” so you can choose exactly how your donation will make a difference. Perhaps this Mother’s Day you may refrain from buying the traditional gift or add onto it by opting to buy a unique donation in a friend’s name and sending a personalized card.

Here are some gift ideas for Mother’s Day:
• Educate an Orphan $10
• Nourish Creativity with the MacDowell Colony $10
• Reduce Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere $20

And feel free to visit our site at
http://www.changingthepresent.org

ChangingThePresent.org works alongside a talented group of Advisors, including leaders of 125 stellar nonprofits including: Teach for America, Amnesty International, Sierra Club, Sesame Workshop, United States Fund for UNICEF, and more. The organization is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization and all donations made on the site are tax-deductible.

We hope to be of help and can be contacted by email:

Thank you,
Susan Park

I live about an hour north of Bethesda (and lived in the DC area for several years) – I am looking forward to learning more about their Green Initiatives – thanks for the information. Our community is similar in size and could benefit from what Bethesda’s doing. I’ve been spending time lately trying to put an end to the rumors that our recycling program is bogus . . . it’s exhausting.

Alana, would love to catch up with you about this once you recover from the birth… Thanks for stopping by! — Lynn
