Spilling the beans...

I cannot imagine a day without coffee—the aromas and tastes awaken all my senses. Personally, I have gone green with this daily practice: buying organic beans, using ceramic cups and composting used coffee grounds. As a coffee-loving greenophile, I often ponder how we can take personal practices, such as drinking coffee, into the local marketplace. While most of us have heard bad press about disposable coffee cups, perhaps we’ve not considered other opportunities that can take the daily coffee ritual into green territory. With cup in hand, I’ve thought of a few ideas for how green coffee-lovers can take to our home-based environmental practices to the local coffee marketplace. After all, small steps practiced at home can often be encouraged on the local, community level. You can take green ideas the next level by talking to these merchants about some ideas that they can use to go green. Here are a few ideas to consider:>>Read more »

Recession Survival: Honor Your Planet

When in the midst of financial hardship, we are forced to re-evaluate our priorities, and some — like our commitment to an environmentally responsible lifestyle — may become overshadowed by our more immediate concerns. Gallup reports that for the first time in 25 years, a majority of Americans say economic growth should take priority over the environment, even if it means the environment may suffer. The financial downturn means governments have less money to devote to projects that reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.>>Read more »

Checking Campgrounds in California

What an exciting day!  I had the privilege to be the one to check out the campgrounds before our upcoming retreat.
