Allie,
I just discovered your blog and I love it. You are adorable and I like to think you survive nj like I do, though that’s just an educated guess. I have a question I am hoping you can answer. My boyfriend and I are going to be moving in together and so will be starting our household from scratch. We have the basic ideas about what to buy, but I am wondering about a few alternatives to some things I am addicted to such as my George foreman. I love it and it’s so convenient to cook up a quick veggie burger or panini, but of course it has nonstick coating…in fact, it’s advertised as having a triple nonstick coating. Great. As far as I can tell, all the mass market countertop grills have a nonstick coating. Do you know of any that aren’t?
It would be great if you or Beth from fake plastic fish could come up with a list for newlyweds or newly engaged or new homeowners to offer some guidance on what and what not to buy for a new household. It’s hard to do all the research yourself when you are stressed about mortgages, impeding nuptials, etc.
Anyway, thanks for the well-written blogs. You give me something to aspire to.

Allie,
I found your site while looking for Meat Free Mondays. Your site is easy to navigate but I wish there was a list of tags on the side of the page I could click on.
A lot of your entries for Meat Free Mondays reminded me of the vegetarian foods I like but eat so rarely. Now I will have to make a point of looking for new meat free dishes to try.
Thanks for the posts!

Hello Greenists~
Just found your website and wow – great stuff. I am sure you must have a good following of fellow greenies!
I just wanted to let you know about our business called Green Planet Parties (www.greenplanetparties.com). We are 2 moms (Suzanne & Suzanne) who met at our first children’s preschool and wanted to provide more sustainable alternatives to the typical chidlren’s birthday party experience. We offer an old-fashioned way of looking at options for handmade cloth decorations to last a lifetime, non=plastic and more conscious options for party giveaways, environmental options for tableware when you can use your own etc. We also have some great information on how to host a greener party and ‘giving birthdays’ for children instead of all the excess of usual parties. We have some even more in-depth information on how to host a greener party or event available too – if you think your readers might be interested, please just shoot me a line and I’ll send it your way.
Thanks for your time – and for the great site.
Warmly,
Suzanne (& Suzanne)

What an informational site you have here. I would like to introduce you to my business. I have a new storefront in Denver that is Exclusively eco-friendly/sustainable womens fashions that offer the latest in fashion forward trends. You don’t have to sacrifice style anymore to be a green fashionista. I would love to submit an article or additional information for your site, if you’d be interested,please contact me. (I’ve tried sending email your way and it doesn’t seem to work?) Thanks for all the good work you’re doing in getting resources out there. Cheers! Peggy Gulam, Owner, Chrysalis Eco-Boutique.
Hi I have a lot of cats. (11 currently; I do some rescue work, and I’m a veterinarian). Anyway, to fill 1 jumbo box, (let’s say 30″x16″)how much newspaper do you need. I guess maybe the height of the pile of paper is the best way to measure. Thanks Melina

Hello!
I hope you don’t mind me reaching out. I’m producing a film on Haiti’s agricultural crisis and the grassroots sustainable ag-based recovery movement emerging there. I believe strongly that Haiti is an amazing test-case of the failed paradigms of the past, and we are making this film both to promote a new path for Haiti, as well as leverage this “teachable moment” for the world.
We’re on Kickstarter, and we’ve produced an Intro Video which I think your audience would find appealing. The video is at http://www.handsthatfeed.com. An embeddable version from Vimeo is available at: http://vimeo.com/13301985. I would also love your guys’ feedback on the project if you have any.
