Mini Solar Powered Black LED Flashlight - $0.89 ShippedMini Solar Powered Black LED Flashlight - $0.89 Shipped
from eshopper Forum
I know what you are thinking: "If it is solar powered, and I am using it in the dark - how will this work?" - and to answer you - this little gadget stores the energy from the sun right inside for when it is dark and you need it! How can this be for only 89 cents? I have no idea - I order from this company frequently because I love little stuff like this - and it always comes (in great condition) - I honestly have no idea how they make any money. Read More

gladeIf You Want to Smell Trees, Go Outside!
from Healthy and Hale
The latest Glade candle commercial reminds me of a hilarious—yet wrong, on sooo many levels—incident between my husband and me the other morning. I was preparing my daughter and the toddler I babysit for playing outside, and I called from my daughter’s room and asked him to check on the weather for me. Lately, you can’t be sure if it will be cool or warm—welcome, September!—so I wanted to know if they were okay in shorts. Instead of walking outside to see how hot or cold it was—out the front...

oil and gas platformThe Gulf -- An Explosion, A Fire, And What?
from Politics Report
News of yesterday's explosion of a second oil rig in the Gulf sent a wave of stomach cramps through America, and anxiety that America was getting something she doesn't need -- Gulf Oil Spill 2. Now, America is relaxing a little. The Associated Press reports this morning that no one was killed and there is no crude oil gushing into the water. Read More

plasticsApply for the Plastics are Forever International Youth Summit
from Tree Worshipper
The scary thing about plastics is that they are, indeed, forever. Long after we are dead and gone, our filthy plastic crap—from bottles to bags, food packaging to the bubbles our kids’ toys come in—will still be littering the Earth, floating in the ocean, and killing wildlife. It’s a sick and sad thought, but it’s definitely not news—so why do we keep making unnecessary plastics when there are so many viable alternatives that will break down over time? Read More
elephantsShow Support for Circus Elephants
from Animal Report
Here is another great campaign from PETA that makes it easy to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. This year, Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus will be at Coney Island, depicting live wild animals in cruel, unnatural acts. Among these acts will be perhaps the most offensive of all—the use of the largest land mammals on earth, elephants, in idiotic displays of frivolity and fake merriment. One of the reasons my mother insisted that we never attend the circus was this... Read More
dogWould You Downsize Your Dog for the Environment?
from The Green Voters League
We don’t really have a dog at our house. I say not really because my aunt, who also lives here, does have a small, very old dog who lives in the basement and backyard. We don’t see her because she snaps at children, though my husband takes care of her when my aunt is away. Someday, when we do get a dog, we’ve talked about getting a nice, big family dog—like a golden retriever. I’ve always wanted one, and my daughter loves dogs. (My husband and I are cat people.)

mushrooms10 Ways to Celebrate National Mushroom Month
from Pittsburgh Flowers
If you didn’t already know, mushrooms are a pretty decent food—aside from how they taste, I mean, which can be awesome in its own right. Pennsylvania makes the most mushrooms in the United States, and should be proud of it, considering that they are chock full of selenium, potassium, vitamin D, niacin, and many other nutrients. They’re fat and cholesterol free and low in calories, making them a great snack for dieters. They also make a great substitute for meat. With all of these reasons, how... Read More
vanilla ice creamTwo Scoops of Vanilla, Hold the rBGH
from Dessert Report
One of my absolute favorite ice cream flavors is Breyers double-churned vanilla. I know it’s not the best to buy by any means, but the flavor is just incredible. I’m a big vanilla ice cream eater—unlike the favorite flavors of many people that I know, vanilla is pretty much the only ice cream flavor I love (with the occasional citrus or strawberry exception), and Breyers seems to make it best. Unfortunately, I won’t be buying my favorite ice cream anytime soon—at least, not until Breyers... Read More

from Saint Louis Flowers
We are SO glad to have you! So what if you’re not officially here yet. So what if temperatures are a little too high for my liking. We are more than ready to have you. We’ve even made your bed up—well, we’ve started to, anyway, since most of the leaves are still green. Don’t worry, though; we have plenty of other ways to welcome you home, such as… Hanging up our scented brooms. Mmm… they make our home smell like cinnamon and cloves and look so rustic and beautiful on the doors. Swapping out the... Read More
vegGet Ready for Hug a Vegetarian Day!
from Vegetarian Talk
Hug a Vegetarian Day, which takes place on September 24, is fun whether you’re a vegetarian or not. After all, who couldn’t use a hug? You might wonder why you should hug a vegetarian anyway, especially if you’re not a supporter of animal rights. Vegetarians help the earth, too—a plant-based diet only uses a fraction of the energy and only creates a fraction of the waste a meat-based diet does. So if you normally hug people who bring reusable bags to the grocery store or who recycle their... Read More

outletHelp Keep New Babies Safe
from New Baby Gifts
Since September is Baby Safety Month, it makes sense to keep a baby’s safety in mind when presenting new parents with gifts. Of course, it’s always a good time to think about keeping baby safe and healthy. One of my favorite gifts to include with any new baby gift bag is a set of protective outlet covers. Not only are these very inexpensive, but they’re also something that can be used for many years. I know lots of families go through them. Sometimes when you take one out to vacuum and misplace...

GMAIL to offer free phone calling (w/VOIP)End of Days for Skype - GMAIL Offers Free Phone Calling via VOIP
from Net Culture Talk
Oh the drama! Gmail, Google's free mail provider is now offering free phone calls using VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and it is doing so for FREE (Us / Canada) - at least through the end of the year. I can think of no other time when the saying (it is a saying, right?) "what a tangled web we weave..." can be be applied any better. The new Google Voice (Chat) feature being offered may literally kill Skype in on fell swoop. Google may take the entire VOIP market right out from under them... Read More
I finally "Rode the Wave" and it was OKI Finally "Rode the Wave"
from So Seattle
After many months of anticipation I finally got a chance to "Ride the Wave" - which was a little less than what I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong - I think that it will do wonders to help Seattle grow in the future, but after this ride it gives me the feeling of the Seattle Center Monorail - it doesn't really serve an incredibly practical purpose. Apparently once they start the other lines and extensions this will be the way to travel, but I am a little iffy about it right now. It was $... Read More
bouncerJump Houses: THE Source for Your Child’s Daily Lead Allowance!
from Single Mother Talk
When I read this, my heart absolutely sank. My child loves bounce houses. When she was a preemie, she had a sensory issue where she needed constant input and bounced or rocked all of the time. She still rocks sometimes as a self-soothing mechanism. Two of the things we came up with in a plan with her physical therapist (who, by the way, was made of awesome) were 1. using a bouncer that you sit on and hop all over the house with and 2. taking her to places like the park to swing and the bounce...

cameron4-ish Reasons to Like James Cameron
from Toxic Waste Cloud
With all of the sexism surrounding his film Avatar (among many other issues with it—including his own interview stating that, though the creatures weren’t mammals, the heroine “had to have tits”), I’ve begun to question just how much I like James Cameron. I always thought he was pretty visionary, using unique ideas and female heroines…but wait—his ideas really aren’t so unique, and his heroines are sometimes pretty stereotyped. That said, like most people, he has his redeeming qualities. I... Read More
stoveThe Scary Truth About Gas Stoves
from Gadgetry Report
We have a gas stove drama constantly unfolding in our home. I am terrified of our gas stove and use it as little as possible, opting for the microwave, oven, blender, and simply serving raw food whenever I can. We had the opportunity to install an electric stove a few months ago when our gas tanks were empty—we even had the stove, as my parents had just received a new one from a friend and given us theirs; but we didn’t. Apparently my father and husband—who would’ve been responsible for... Read More
