Help Haiti!
 
Alright everyone, I admit it....we've been slacking on updating the blog but something really important has come up that deserves our attention!  I'm sure everyone has heard by now about the earthquake in Haiti but I'm not sure if you've made a decision to help them out.  Even before the earthquake they needed our help (being the one of the poorest nations in the world) and now, with some estimates in the hundreds of thousands of deaths, they need us more than ever.  Please donate to whomever you feel the most comfortable (We chose www.unicefusa.org/haitiquake) but please donate to help our neighbors.  The decisions we make today will ultimately decide the future we have tomorrow.  I don't know about you, but I'd like to live in a world where we help those that need us!
 
or you can text 'Yele' to 501501 and make a $5 contribution to the relief effort over cell phone.

.Real vs. Artificial Christmas Trees

(Our real tree)

If you have eyes, you noticed that we have a real tree and so we might just be a lil biased, but it seems that we are not the only ones.  Earth911.com (click link for their full article) and the book "Green Christmas" are both saying the same thing: real trees are the more eco-friendly choice.  The reason?  93% of real trees are re- or "tree"-cycled each year and "are recycled into mulch and used in landscaping and gardening or chipped and used for playground material, hiking trails, paths and walkways. They can be used for beachfront erosion prevention, lake and river shoreline stabilization and fish and wildlife habitat" according to Earth911.com.  Also, each tree consumes about a ton of CO2 throughout its lifetime and produces enough oxygen for 18 people! 

Of course, the best option would be to buy a potted live tree that can be replanted after the holiday season or for Christmas trees to be grown organically but if your only choice is real or fake....the general consensus is real.

TIP: If you go to a place that sells Christmas trees, the majority of them will let you take the scrap branches for free.  Use these branches to decorate banisters, make wreaths or put a small one in your car to make it smell like Christmas!

If you want to take it a step further, try decorating your tree with LED lights (which are becoming much more affordable by the way) and natural decorations like the popcorn and cranberry garland in the photo below (Click here for how to make the garland).  Talk with family and friends and discuss having an ornament swap or if they have any they no longer use instead of buying new ornaments.  (We raided my mother-in-law's attic!)

What to do with all of those holiday cards about to start pouring out of your mail box??

Send holiday cards to St. Jude's Ranch, a nonprofit home for youths that collects old holiday cards for reuse. Either cut off the backs of the cards or leave them intact. Children at St. Jude's earn money by creating new holiday cards from the old.

Mail the cards UPS "ground" or "bound printed matter" to St. Jude's Card Recycling, 100 St. Jude Street, P.O. Box 60100, Boulder City, NV 89006.

ATTENTION: Fellow Greenies

We have been getting a lot of emails from well meaning people about our bottles lately.  "Does the lid have plastic?" "Is the plastic on the lid BPA free?"....and so on.  For the record:  The lids are made of bpa-free plastic and a rubber stopper that prevents leakage.

We didn't start selling glass bottles just because of the dangers of plastic to your health, we mainly did it because we want people to wean themselves from disposable bottled water and other wasteful products.  Sure, glass does give us the feeling of "better safe than sorry" (just in case BPA turns you into a mutant) but these bottles are not the only solution. You can use any kind of reusable bottle to hydrate, we just happen to like these glass ones.  They won't work for people who drop things often or people who like to rock climb with their water bottle attached to their belt but they work for us and we wanted to share that.   We wanted to offer an alternative to disposable bottled water so that people would maybe think twice the next time they get a bottle of water out of the fridge instead of filling up a glass with tap water or filtered water.  Our real goal is to get people to understand that there are consequences to even minor purchases like bottled water. 

It is much easier to spend a dollar for the convenience of bottled water, it is much easier to use disposable utensils during your lunch hour every day, it is much easier and cheaper to use styrofoam take out containers that do not biodegrade....but all of these conveniences come at a price. We are not going to change our disposable mindset over night, it is just not possible.  But maybe we can find the places in our lives where we can make the change and help others make changes (without judgment!!!!!) until we live in a better world.  These may seem like little, insignificant things, but I really believe that changing the way we think about little things like this will help us in the way we think about everything.

Best of luck in your journey towards a greener life and thank you for being a part of the solution!

We found the next best thing in Cocoa Beach, FL!  If you live here or are in town visiting, you must check out this new, healthy, arty, and cool restaurant!  The food was amazing and organic and there are vegan options available.  Ryan and I had shots of wheat grass to start and I had the organic raspberry iced tea and he had the organic coffee.  We shared a delicious wrap made of freshly made hummus, avocado and fresh veggies with a gluten and wheat free chocolate macadamia cookie for dessert and the entire meal only set us back $17!  The place is filled with interesting art and the menu is filled with delicious smoothies, wraps, sandwiches, salads, soup and on the weekends, they even offer ceviche!  Yummy, I can't wait to go back :)

LOVE this company!
Peacekeeper is a company that follows a different business model than most businesses!  They are an "all benefit" company which means that they donate all of their profits (after taxes, debt repayment, financing costs, reasonable working capital reserves) to charity and generates those profits responsibly.  Sounds pretty cool right?  Not to mention that their products are eco-friendly, non-toxic and ethically produced.  Woohoo!! Check out their website: www.iamapeacekeeper.com to peruse nail polish, lipstick, lip gloss, etc and read about who they are and what they do. Many of their products are vegan friendly and all of them are eco friendly and as safe as they can make them.  They even request that if anyone knows how to make them safer or better, that they let them know!  This makes me very happy and proud of humanity :)

The more I learn about the various ways to be green the more I realize that my vocabulary is slowly being whittled away to just one word: cool.  The latest "cool" thing?  A website called www.sharingbackyards.com which is devoted to connecting those who wish to plant and those with the land available to be planted on.  Would you like beautiful plants or flowers in your yard and a share of the produce being grown but don't want the back breaking labor that goes along with it?  Here is your chance!!  Check it out and if your area is not participating already, think about starting a program of your own and add it to the website!  Happy planting :)

Be green into the afterlife :)
 
Being someone in their mid-20's, I do not think about death too often and especially not what will happen with my body when I die.  I noticed that green burials are becoming more popular with those who want to be a part of the natural cycle of life and not have their body embalmed with chemicals and put into a casket that does not degrade easily.  The folks over at www.greenburials.org have compiled a list of the various places that you can find green cemeteries in the US.  These cemeteries make sure to conserve the natural land and maintain native species of plants and flowers in this protected land. 
 
Another option is cremation: www.green-cremations.com.  There seem to be some issues with pollution with this option, but I do not know too much so I'd advise that you do your homework and choose the option best for you! 
 
Finally, for those of you who would like to be laid to rest in the ocean: www.eternalreefs.com.  This company combines your ashes with concrete to create artificial reefs which support life and are a lasting memorial to your life. 
 
Check out these options and let your loved ones know your wishes to be given a green burial or cremation.  These options are often less expensive than traditional burials since there is no embalming process or expensive caskets.  Nature did not intend for us to fill our veins with chemicals that made it harder for us to decompose naturally...let's try to enrich the Earth when we go and complete the circle of life!

Save gas, money and the environment!
 
Even though gas prices are high, there are still untold numbers of single occupant cars on the road.  If you drive the same long, boring route to work each day, consider joining a car pool or starting your own. There is probably at least one person that you work with who would love to split the responsibility and cost of driving each day...but you'll never know until you ask!  
 
If you don't know anyone else who can car pool with you, try these sites designed to set you up with others interested in carpooling that drive the same direction as you:
 
www.carpoolcrew.com: This site is really cool.  You type in the zip code for where you live and where you work and it connects you to others going in the same direction, when they start work and when they finish, if they smoke, etc. 
www.dividetheride.com: designed for families looking to save money on gas.  After registering, you can invite families you know to join your carpool group and it organizes your schedules.
www.erideshare.com: offers a choice of carpool, travel or local rideshare then connects you with others looking to do the same!
 
Save yourself money and the stress of sitting through traffic each day on your own. Carpooling is just one more way that we can be a part of the solution!

                                   Is this:                      

Worth this??

Dave over at Care2.com just wrote about where our aluminum cans come from and what they have to go through to reach the shelves at our supermarkets.  Makes you think twice about drinking out of cans!  Something that takes so long to produce shouldn't be thrown away after a few minutes of use!! For more, check out the full article here

 

A striking case study of the complexity of industrial metabolism is provided by James Womack and Daniel Jones in their book Lean Thinking, where they trace the origins and pathways of a can of English cola. The can itself is more costly and complicated to manufacture than the beverage. Bauxite is mined in Australia and trucked to a chemical reduction mill where a half-hour process purifies each ton of bauxite into a half ton of aluminum oxide. When enough of that is stockpiled, it is loaded on a giant ore carrier and sent to Sweden or Norway, where hydroelectric dams provide cheap electricity. After a month-long journey across two oceans, it usually sits at the smelter for as long as two months.

The smelter takes two hours to turn each half ton of aluminum oxide into a quarter ton of aluminum metal, in ingots ten meters long. These are cured for two weeks before being shipped to roller mills in Sweden or Germany. There each ingot is heated to nearly nine hundred degrees Fahrenheit and rolled down to a thickness of an eighth of an inch. The resulting sheets are wrapped in ten-ton coils and transported to a warehouse, and then to a cold rolling mill in the same or another country, where they are rolled tenfold thinner, ready for fabrication. The aluminum is then sent to England, where sheets are punched and formed into cans, which are then washed, dried, painted with a base coat, and then painted again with specific product information. The cans are next lacquered, flanged (they are still topless), sprayed inside with a protective coating to prevent the cola from corroding the can, and inspected.

The cans are palletized, forklifted, and warehoused until needed. They are then shipped to the bottler, where they are washed and cleaned once more, then filled with water mixed with flavored syrup, phosphorus, caffeine, and carbon dioxide gas. The sugar is harvested from beet fields in France and undergoes trucking, milling, refining, and shipping. The phosphorus comes from Idaho, where it is excavated from deep open-pit mines�a process that also unearths cadmium and radioactive thorium. Round-the-clock, the mining company uses the same amount of electricity as a city of 100,000 people in order to reduce the phosphate to food-grade quality. The caffeine is shipped from a chemical manufacturer to the syrup manufacturer in England.

The filled cans are sealed with an aluminum “pop-top” lid at the rate of fifteen hundred cans per minute, then inserted into cardboard cartons printed with matching color and promotional schemes. The cartons are made of forest pulp that may have originated anywhere from Sweden or Siberia to the old-growth, virgin forests of British Columbia that are the home of grizzly, wolverines, otters, and eagles. Palletized again, the cans are shipped to a regional distribution warehouse, and shortly thereafter to a supermarket where a typical can is purchased within three days. The consumer buys twelve ounces of the phosphate-tinged, caffeine-impregnated, caramel-flavored sugar water. Drinking the cola takes a few minutes; throwing the can away takes a second. In England, consumers discard 84 percent of all cans, which means that the overall rate of aluminum waste, after counting production losses, is 88 percent. The United States still gets three-fifths of its aluminum from virgin ore, at twenty times the energy intensity of recycled aluminum, and throws away enough aluminum to replace its entire commercial aircraft fleet every three months.

Hungry for Change



Food, Inc. is opening in theaters all over the country this summer and it promises to be a very interesting film!  After watching the trailer at www.takepart.com/foodinc  I am very curious to find out exactly what I don't know about where my food comes from.  According to the website for Food, Inc., food companies are creating more and more mechanized approaches to growing food and raising livestock, often at the expense of the environment and the safety of consumers and farmers.

I believe that it's important to be well educated about where our food comes from and how it is produced. As a civilized society, we need to make sure that the animals raised for food are not treated inhumanely before they get to our plate.  It's also important to eliminate harmful pesticides and other toxins used on food so that it does not make it's way to our dinner tables.  For ways that you can help to solve this problem, you can visit:

Safer ways to get rid of pesky bugs!

For some reason, bugs LOVE me.  I can sit outside for 5 minutes at dusk and come inside to find myself covered in bites. There even seems to be one greedy mosquito who lives in my bedroom and feasts on an all you can eat Me buffet!  While I was in Thailand last year, I purchased a natural insect repellent that used lemongrass and citronella.  It was very effective and did not eat through my nail polish (dangerous sign) like the DEET spray did.

Nobody enjoys being eaten alive by mosquitoes or other bugs, so here are a few natural solutions that you can try this summer to avoid them!

  • Spray Listerine in the doorways and around where you will be sitting outside for a dramatic decrease in mosquitoes
  • To keep away ants, try a mixture of peppermint and citronella oils.
  • For blackflies, cinnamon and tumeric oils should do the trick
  • Cockroaches will stay away from citrus oils, especially kaffir lime oil
  • Mosquitoes are not huge fans of catnip and thyme
  • Ticks abhor lemon eucalyptus oil
Try this natural solutions and let us know how effective they are!  Or, if you know of another trick, let us know! livinglavidaverde@live.com

Raise Awareness!
 
Hooray!! I just told about 40+ people about this website (www.takebackthetap.org) and how big of a difference we could make by switching from bottled water to filling a reusable water bottle with tap water (In my case, filtered because I can't stand the taste without. I also mentioned that if they can avoid buying drinks in other disposable containers that would help!)
How did I obtain a captive audience of 40+ people?? My Research Methods in Psychology class!  I emailed my professor about how it made me cringe to see so many people using bottled water and she said I could have a few minutes to address our class about making an effort to phase this wasteful practice out of our lives.  It's not a talk that reaches everyone, but there were a few people who vowed to "take back the tap" which meant the world to me!
 
I'm not saying you should stand on a street corner yelling about the dangers of plastic and how wasteful bottled water is, but if you can raise awareness about this and other green practices: do it!! I am not a shy person by any means, but even I was shaking after speaking in front of that many people.  It's a bit scary, especially since they may not like what I had to say because it challenges the way they currently think...but maybe, just maybe, I was able to plant the seed in their minds to make a change!  My professor even created a lab assignment that had us create a study about recycling. 
 
If you are interested in talking to your class, church, employees or friends about ways to be eco-friendly here are a few important tips:
 
-Don't preach!! If you rant and rave about the evils of bottled water corporations (or whatever your topic is), people will tune you out.  If you logicaly explain the facts about how it is made and how much oil is wasted in the case of bottled water, more than a few eyebrows will be raised.
 
-Let people know that you're not trying to make them feel bad if they're currently using bottled water (or styrofoam or whatever you're talking about) and that you were just as guilty as them before you became conscious of the problem and that occasionally, using these products is unavoidable.  If people feel like they're being educated rather than lectured, they are more likely to hear what you're saying and take it to heart.
 
-Do your homework!  Research the problem thoroughly, not just from green websites if you can help it.  Many green websites (including ours sometimes, we're not perfect either!) can use misleading statistics or scare tactics to get their point across.  Many of the actual problems have scientific studies and solid facts to back them up, try not to resort to the easier "IT IS EVIL" approach. 
 
Example:
Wrong: Bottled water is the DEVIL. Solution: Stop using it or I won't be your friend anymore.
 
Right: Bottled water is a waste of resources.  Most Americans can get clean and safe drinking water from their tap.  If your home does not have safe drinking water available, talk to your local representative about fixing this problem.  Bottled water is not held to the same regulations as tap water.  There is less than one full time employee at the FDA assigned to bottled water.  Solution: We could allocate the money we're currently spending on bottled water to provide safe, clean drinking water for everyone.

Recent Email

 

We recently received an email that I felt was important to share.  Our goal is not to upset anyone, but to be practical and realistic in our mission to be part of the solution.  I personally feel that if we are too radical, we will push people away.  It is important not to judge others, as we are all in different places with our decision to be green.  Some people are able to afford solar panels surrounding their home and only buying products that are organic or made from sustainable products. Others are only able to afford more energy efficient light bulbs and incorporating more eco-friendly products into their lives as their budget permits.  We should encourage people when they recycle or switch to reusable water bottles instead of disposable ones.  We should smile at someone making the effort to bring their reusable shopping bags to the grocery store instead of using the disposable plastic shopping bags.  Positively reinforcing good habits is much more effective that negatively reinforcing bad habits.  Anyway, here is the email and my response:

From: Chicago, IL 
I am very disheartened to see you continually promoting Walmart. I NEVER shop at Walmart for political reasons. The water glasses you promote were probably made in some Chinese sweatshop.

I encourage you to watch the documentary "Walmart: The High Cost of Low Prices" by Robert Greenwald. You can find it on Amazon.com
Hope you will please get the dvd and make a commitment to shop elsewhere. Thanks.

-Chicago, IL
P.S. I thought every website was supposed to have contact information on it. You have absolutely no info on your site about your company.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Chicago, IL,

I'm sorry that you feel that way.  Unfortunately, Walmart is not going anywhere.  Instead of trying to put them out of business (which is not very realistic) we can encourage their efforts to be green and ethical in their practices.  We need to think of positive and realistic solutions to the problems that we face in our society.  I appreciate your political reasons for not shopping at Walmart, but for the millions of people in the US who cannot imagine shopping anywhere but Walmart (yes, they exist) for financial reasons, I feel that it is more important to gently guide their shopping decisions to include more environmentally friendly choices.  If you are making less than $30,000/year, your choices are very limited when making the decisions to feed and provide for your family.  You may not be able to shop at Whole Foods or another similar store, but you can afford to make small choices that, when combined as a whole, make a big difference. 

As for your comment about our contact information: we choose not to put our address and phone number on the website because our business consists of me and my fiance out of our home.  The website is our passion, but it is not our source of income.  If you have any questions at all about our business that you feel can be addressed on our website without compromising our privacy, I would love to answer them. 

Thank you for your comment.  I truly do appreciate your commitment to make a difference but please understand the position that we are in.  Change may not happen overnight, but by encouraging everyone to make small changes to their lives, eventually change will come. 

 Sincerely,

 Brandy V. Antilla

Green Cleaning!
 
 
Need an excuse to have a few friends over for some drinks?  How about a "Green Cleaning Party"?  You can purchase a kit for $25 from www.womenandenvironment.org.  Guys, don't be deterred by the name, this kit is for everyone!  The kit walks you through how to make safe and effective cleaners from pantry staples like baking soda, olive oil, vinegar, etc.  It also comes with labels for your new cleaning products.  How fun! It's just as easy to make recipes for 6 as it is for 1 and a lot more enjoyable surrounded by friends and maybe a cocktail or two :)  www.womenandenvironment.org also has green information and various campaigns that you can join to help make our environment safer for all.
