Hey Lowe’s It’s Time to Stop Selling Paint Strippers Containing Dangerous Chemicals. Last week I stopped by my local Lowe's to deliver an important message. I’m here because I’m concerned about toxic chemicals in products Lowe’s sells. As a consumer, I would like you to ban the sale of paint strippers 11 GREEN WEBSITES YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT Twitter, Facebook and Other Social Media Sites. Twitter, Facebook and other social media channels are a great first step when looking for breaking green and eco news. My first stop is my news feed on Twitter and then a quick scroll through my business page feed on Facebook for all that’s happening in the green and eco worlds. TIME TO DITCH YOUR TEFLON AND 3 SAFER ALTERNATIVES Today is National Teflon Day. There’s really not much to celebrate when it comes to Teflon. The chemicals used to make Teflon make our water undrinkable, our bodies sick, and our environment polluted.. Teflon is everywhere: in your dental floss, coating non-stick pans, and part of your fabric protection (Gor-Tex). According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), toxic fumes from the TOP PICKS: SAFE DEODORANTS FOR TEENS Nourish Organic Deodorant – This organic deodorant comes in lavender mint or vanilla almond – good enough to eat! It’s also free of parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, artificial fragrances, preservatives, silicones, propylene glycol, mineral oils, sulfates, synthetic dyes, triclosan, EDTA and aluminum. Primal Pit Paste Natural THE NAKED TRUTH ABOUT NAKED JUICE: GMOS AND MORE A class-action lawsuit was filed against Naked Juice for using genetically-modified ingredients (GMOs) and synthetic substances in products that were marketed as “Non-GMO” and “All-Natural”. Naked Juice denies it did anything wrong. Naked Juice says: ‘Naked juice and smoothies will continue to be labeled “non-GMO,” anduntil there
HOW TO GET A CHIPMUNK OUT OF YOUR HOUSE Mistake number 2. The chipmunk decided to come in and somehow managed to find the unopened, uneaten bag of old Halloween candy. Seriously smart chipmunk. I found another candy wrapper on the stairs before spotting the chipmunk. I freaked. Yes, I know that I’m a lot bigger than a little chipmunk, but it was in my house. LONGEVITY TEST: CAN YOU STAND UP WITHOUT USING YOUR HANDS? The study found that middle-aged and elderly adults who needed to use their hands and their knees to get up and down were almost seven times more likely to die within six years, compared with those who could get up and down without support.. I’m not old enough to participate in this study, yet I still feel compelled to make sure I can do thisnot-so-simple task.
THE TRUTH ABOUT RECYCLED TOILET PAPER AND WHY I'M STILL The short answer is yes. A study published in the Journal of Environmental Science and Technology found traces of BPA (a known endocrine disrupter) in many recycled paper products, including toilet paper. The culprit seems to be thermal receipt paper, which is contributing the majority of BPA to our recycled products. ASK LORI: SHOULD I PEEL CUCUMBERS? Cucumbers are low in calories and high in vitamin K, anti-oxidants and potassium. Cucumber peel is a good source of dietary fiber that helps reduce constipation and offers some protection against colon cancers. I recently started eating most vegetables whole, raw and with the peel on . Sometimes they don’t look as pretty , but the taste is WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER PUT PLASTIC IN THE DISHWASHER Repeated wear and tear on plastic, including running plastic through the dishwasher, could cause BPA, Phthalates and other chemicals to leach out of the plastic when heated. Hormone-disrupting chemicals leach from almost all plastics, even BPA-free plastics. Heating the plastic (stressing it) may cause more leaching of the chemicals.GROOVY GREEN LIVING

What if I told you it’s really that simple? By making small changes during one meal a day we can impact our own well-being and the health of the planet.. Before I jump into the reasons why plant-based eating makes sense I need you to know that I’m not strictly plant-based and don’t think I ever will be. 10 ACTIVITIES TO DO WITH YOUR KIDS WHEN THE POWER GOES OUT Light a fire in the fireplace. There’s nothing like snuggling up in front of the fireplace when the power goes out. If you don’t have a fireplace grab some blankets and camp out together. Last year during the storm we slept for a night or two in front of the warm fire. Ghoststories are a must!
5 VEGETABLES THAT YOU DON’T NEED TO PEEL Beets. Beets are full of phytonutrients called betalains. Betanin and vulgaxanthin have been shown to provide antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxification support. We slice our beets and roast them with a little olive oil and salt. If the ends of the beet are a mess it is easy enough to slice a little off, but peel on is theway to go.
MY SEARCH FOR A SAFE WAFFLE MAKER My kids love pancakes and waffles. We’ve decided that almost everything tastes better with maple syrup. Most weekends we’ll have some variation of pancakes to start off the day. We add fruit, flax seeds, chia seeds and occasionally chocolate chips for a special treat. For the past few years my kids have been begging for a wafflemaker.
BEST NON-WHITENING SAFE SUNSCREENS Price: $11.86 for 2.7 oz. Active Ingredient (s): Zinc Oxide (5.5%) and Titanium Dioxide (11%). EWG’s Skin Deep Rating : 1 out of 10 (low hazard) on their hazard scale. Texture: The sunscreen comes out in a thick, white stream, but surprisingly doesn’t leave much of a white coating and isn’t very greasy. GRASSFED YOGURT:WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS? Benefits of 100% Organic Grassfed. There are so many benefits to eating products made from milk from a grass fed organic cow. Milk that comes from 100% grass fed cows has a more flavorful fatty acid profile than from milk from conventionally fed cows. It is higher in omega-3 fatty acids and lower in omega-6 fatty acids (a healthiercombination).

HOW TO UPGRADE A REGULAR LAMP INTO A 3-WAY LAMP Instructions for upgrading a regular lamp to a 3-way lamp. Unplug the lamp. Remove the lamp shade, light bulb and light harp. The light harp looks like this: Remove existing outer shell of the lamp socket and the insulating sleeve (cardboard). Squeeze and pull up to do this. Pull out the socket leaving the shell behind (wires still attached). 6 ECO ALTERNATIVES TO PLASTIC WRAP Welcome to Green Questions, Groovy Answers-your opportunity to get your pressing green questions answered each week. This week’s question comes from a Twitter fan, Ashley (@AEB624) in Boston. Thanks Ashley! Are there any eco-friendly alternatives to using plastic wrap?

5 VEGETABLES THAT YOU DON’T NEED TO PEEL Beets. Beets are full of phytonutrients called betalains. Betanin and vulgaxanthin have been shown to provide antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxification support. We slice our beets and roast them with a little olive oil and salt.

5 BENEFITS OF PLANT-BASED EATING FOR ONLY ONE MEAL A DAY It’s hard to imagine that we can change the world through the food that we’re eating. What if I told you it’s really that simple? By making small changes during one meal a day we can impact our own well-being and the health of the planet.. Before I jump into the reasons why plant-based eating makes sense I need you to know that I’m not strictly plant-based and don’t think I ever will be. THE TRUTH ABOUT RECYCLED TOILET PAPER AND WHY I'M STILL The short answer is yes. A study published in the Journal of Environmental Science and Technology found traces of BPA (a known endocrine disrupter) in many recycled paper products, including toilet paper. The culprit seems to be thermal receipt paper, which is contributing the majority of BPA to our recycled products. HOW TO UPGRADE A REGULAR LAMP INTO A 3-WAY LAMP Instructions for upgrading a regular lamp to a 3-way lamp. Unplug the lamp. Remove the lamp shade, light bulb and light harp. The light harp looks like this: Remove existing outer shell of the lamp socket and the insulating sleeve (cardboard). Squeeze and pull up to do this. Pull out the socket leaving the shell behind (wires still attached). 6 ECO ALTERNATIVES TO PLASTIC WRAP Welcome to Green Questions, Groovy Answers-your opportunity to get your pressing green questions answered each week.
