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 would certainly be wasteful to replace it overnight, when it’s …

How about silicone? Not something …

On July 20th, I posted about the documentary, Food, Inc. I was finally able to get to the Flicks last week and watch the film. It was definitely more than I expected. In fact, I might even say that I almost got more on my plate, than my stomach could handle.
The documentary is a MUST SEE for anyone who consumes any meat products. Yes, I am currently a carnivore, but have been 98% pork free for about 2 years. Now, after watching the food handling standards and exposures for food …
