Green Blogs

OK, after an extended pause here at Enviro-Sustain while I did World Cup Weekend at the other blogs, I am back and ready to share more great green resources.

I have found myself lately reading articles about healthy eating. Here is one about what is in your food that doesn't really need to be. I was interested in the 39 ingredients in Doritos. Here is another post from 2 weeks ago about unhealthy food.

That was not what I wanted to post about for today though. I wanted to look at a couple of the blogs that are compiled by Yahoo Green. One of them I had not explored previously is called ecogeek, which for people who know me would guess I was intuitively drawn to. In fact, I found the information and blog posts to be very interesting. A couple of them were on wind power and I learned quite a bit.

The other blog I would like to spotlight today is titled The Green Cheapskate. It sounded like a fun title and the posts are pretty fun (and useful) as well. The two that I looked at today were titled 50 Healthy Foods Under $1 per Pound and 10 Things I Learned While Living Without Running Water. As you can imagine a bunch of veggies cost less than $1 per pound but also eggs, oatmeal and pasta. As for living without running water, I learned a few things while traveling through Africa a couple of years ago. I agree that toilets are an engineering marvel and that clothes don't generally need to be washed so often. I think that #3 on the countdown - Cold water is so much better than no water, and HOT water is very, very special - could really be #1 on the list.
