These are just a few examples of items that could be "greenified" at your next BBQ. The more you let your friends know, the more they'll start doing it … Continue reading How to Have a Greener BBQ
I always get excited to try new foods, especially when they are in noodle form. Kelp noodles, like the name should imply, are made from the giant kelp plants growing in the ocean.

For some reason it sounded strange, technical, and maybe expensive like something you'd read about in Goop and only do at a high end zen spa.

So, I'm sure you've seen it - those terrible photos of sea creatures choking on plastic six pack rings. They get wrapped around necks and confused for food each and every time they end up floating out to sea. For me, it doesn't get sadder.
