I realized one day that I certainly DO want to save the world... But the world of non-chemical, organically grown, carbon negating seemed a bit too big and overwhelming! So I decided - inspired by a few good friends who know a lot about saving the Earth - to start this blog. It is my hope that I can explore the eco-friendly world without looking at (i.e. wasting our time) politics or religion. Rather starting with a few practical changes to lifestyles, I think that we (myself and my “readers”) can come up with some good solutions to SAVE THE WORLD.

Welcome! It is my hope that we can share ideas here - I really WANT to be a hippie - but nowdays it is really expensive! I certainly couldn’t afford to shop at Whole Foods, I thought that non-chemical cleaning supplies weren’t effective and I also thought that all of this hippie stuff sounded like a lot of work.

I’ve found that by making small changes - sometimes weekly, sometimes yearly!, our home is becoming much more eco-friendly.

A few things...

  • Please do not discuss politics or religion here... I am a grad student in theology - I love politics - yet this is not the forum for that type of discussion. If there is an important petition or vote coming up - we can inform the readers and send them on their way to look up the facts.
  • Feel free to let me know about cool products, books, programs, etc. I will do my best to post frequently, but as I said above - I am a grad student, too! Sometimes sitting at a computer for even 10 more minutes is killer!
  • Finally - I AM NOT AN EXPERT! I endorse products because I (or someone I know) has tried it out for themselves. I do not take responsibility for any damage to your home or person...
