No, I have not!. But, apparently I may have been living in a bubble or a cave. Today, I just discovered via a Green group post on Linked In, that there is this VERY cool, eco-friendly water bottle called the bobble.
The bobble contains a built-in filter, that filters contaminants out of  tap water. The actual plastic bottle is made from FDA approved recycled PET that is free of BPA, Phthalates and PVC & is 100% recyclable.
Each bobble filter is intended to filter at least 300 bottles, about 40 gallons …

Last week, I was at a dinner meeting with some other business women. We were served some scrumptious homemade lasagna and green salad.
I haven’t been able to get the salad off my mind, and was able to score a copy of the slightly modified, Costco Cookbook recipe from my friend, Tina Biggers.
It was of course, made with a lot of love, so that probably didn’t hurt. But, I have no doubts that you will totally enjoy this salad for seasons to come, as will I.

It has been previously stated many times, that cell phone usage could be a contributing cause to cancer. But, those statements have mostly been dismissed by medical professionals as hearsay. Now, the World Health Organization (WHO) has released the results of some preliminary studies that say otherwise.
Just this week, The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) announced that it has classified cell phone radiation as “possibly carcinogenic to humans,” based on an increased risk for a malignant type of brain cancer associated with mobile phone use. The IARC is …

I had the extreme pleasure of visiting Kim and Tom Braniff, on the opening day of their new business in Vale, Oregon. In Full Bloom Greenhouse & Gardens officially opened for business this week.
The Greenhouse is fulfilling Kim Braniff’s passion for gardening and nurturing. Kim has never taken on such a venture before, but with the “full bloomed” (or full-blown) support both emotionally and physically from her husband Tom, they are open for business and looking mighty fine!
In Full Bloom has been a labor of love and definitely reflects that. …

How can a cookbook written by an Academy Award winning actress help people in Japan to recover from one of the worst natural disasters in history?  Here’s how.

It’s April, it’s Springtime and it’s definitely time to get some spring cleaning done. After all, we have to remove that indoor build up and prepare for the glorious days of sunshine and fun!
But, do not despair, spring cleaning doesn’t have to be noxious and difficult during the actual cleansing part of the process. There are safe and non-toxic cleaning products available that are economical and work really well.
My favorite (of course), are the Get Clean products from Shaklee. I first learned about them on Oprah’s Earth Day show in …

A recent study published in the Environmental Health Perspectives concludes that there really are no “safe” plastics, due to all the chemicals, additives, and processing aids that go into making plastic products. In a test of over 450 plastic containers, they discovered that nearly all exhibited some kind of estrogenic activity.
A large majority of plastic products contain bisphenol A or phthalates that have been proven to be an estrogen disruptor in our bodies. These chemicals are released when the plastics are heated and/or stressed. Numerous studies have shown links between …
