...Exactly how green is your vacation? Take this quiz!
Jul 7th, 2008 at 6:00PM: Even if you manage to do more than a staycation this summer, vacations just aren't what they used to be.

Jan 31st, 2008 at 12:00PM: When buying up those Mardi Gras beads and trinkets to feel festive with the best of them, look for beads that have been recycled. Every year beads by the bushels (lots and lots and lots of beads) are tossed into the crowd who watch the parade. These cheap plastic baubles from China (see post about bead safety) may be great around a person's neck but not in a landfill.
