  • At the grocery aisle

    Tucked away in the organic section of my local Hannaford’s Supermarket, I found Seventh Generation non-toxic household products. They have been featured on Oprah and The Martha Stewart Show. The company name comes from The Great Law of the Iroquois Confederacy which says that “in our every deliberation we must consider the impact of our…

  • Branchhome.com

    Anyone who loves shopping knows there are millions and millions of websites out there, apart from brick-and-mortar stores, that are ready and willing to accept your credit card. Branch caught my attention. Contemporary stuff à la Crate and Barrel. Check out their manifesto. Only goes to show you that consumption doesn’t have to be at…

  • Why not “Freecycle”?

    Ever tried Freecycle? This has got to be one of the best ideas out there. You look for the local Freecycle group in your area and join. Then you start posting away.

    I stumbled upon this website for Avery’s Beverages. They’re located in New Britain, CT. I’m not a big soda drinker, but their site caught my eye when I read: “Most of Avery’s soda is packaged in returnable, reusable glass bottles. You may notice that some of our bottles do not have an Avery label on…

  • BetterWorld Bookstore

    I get my books brand-new straight from bookshops, but only if my trusty second- or third-hand booksellers don’t carry the titles I’m looking for. And because shopping for books is always, always a painful experience in my neck of the woods, what with books being expensive and extremely hard to find most times, I’ve also…
