The web is full of ways to live green, but have you ever thought about being Earth-friendly in your death? While it’s not always pleasant to think about, maybe we should. If you want to be sure that you have a full and ecologically responsible life, maybe “greener” burial products are for you.

I hate to clean just as much as the next person, so many of the new products on the market can be helpful to my daily routine. Others, however, are just wasteful. How has our shift to being more eco-conscious allowed for an acceptance of disposable cleaning fads?

I’ll admit that my family is the “cobbling” kind of people. Our depression-era farm house was slapped together in a sturdy, but irregular fashion. So when it comes time to replace windows, doors, or other basic components, we try to do it as cheaply as possible. Last week I discovered ReStore (a project of Habitat for Humanity), and I will never shop for home improvements supplies the same way again!

Think that living in an urban center means that you can't recycle your food scraps, paper towels, and pizza boxes? Think again. There are so many ways to compost these days, that there's almost no excuse not to do it. In fact, urban composting can even be kind of fun.

The 11th Hour is a documentary that unflinchingly examines our devastating impact on the ecosystem. Narrated and produced by Leonardo DiCaprio, the film features commentary from experts such as Stephen Hawking, Mikhail Gorbachev, Wangari Maathai, Ray Anderson, Betsy Taylor, Thom Harmann, and Bill McKibben. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I do know that Sigur Ros and planet earth make an awesome combo.

When we buy bottled water, especially bottled water from overseas (like Fiji), we're deciding against using that we have immediate access to, something that pours freely into our sinks at the twist of a handle. Instead, many of us prefer to purchase water. Water, ubiquitous water, now arrives in plastic bottles, bottles that are polluting to create and polluting to get rid of.
