50 Shade of Green: Not for Sale
Tis the season of green: pine trees, Christmas decorations, pine scented candles and spending green (lots and lots of green). Unfortunately, in all the hyper-consumerism the only green that doesn’t wilt, melt, or rapidly get siphoned off from your bank account is the eco kind of green which can be usurped by all of the...
50 Shandes of Green: Frecking Fracking
Fracking also known as hydraulic fracturing is the process of flushing millions of gallons of water, somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 million gallons, mixed with some stuff, and some chemicals (a few known to be carcinogenic) down large well shafts at high pressure to fracture the rocks and release the gas or oil into...
50 Shades of Green: How Green Can You Go?
After the wreckage, the thousands of families left destitute, the billions of dollars of damage, the power outages, gas shortages and countless other nameless issues left behind in Hurricane Sandy’s wake; Sandy’s waves breached more than just out shores. Across the nation most people did what little could be done to help support the impacted...
50 Shades of Green: Autumn Aroma
Simple easy tips to help save money, reduce harmful toxins, and welcome in the autumn season. While perusing the isles of my local mart, I was attracted to all the fall candle scents- apple cinnamon, dulce latte, caramel apple etc… I could picture my house clean and the leaves falling outside with my candles lit...
50 Shades of Green: Old School Green Tips
When I think green, expensive cleaning products, recycling, and leprechauns come to mind… it seems like if you’re trying to buy anything organic, natural, or eco-friendly it will automatically cost at least $5.00 more sans the leprechaun. In today’s economy this is a huge (and reasonable) deterrent for most, the money part not the mythical...
50 Shades of Green: “A Gentleman’s Call”
“The devil is in the details,” literally… The seemingly innocuous mountain pine beetle (MPB), roughly the size of a raisin, has brought a host of problems to North America and nestled its way into approximately 3 million acres worth of trees throughout Colorado and Wyoming forests. The little critters, valuable when controlled, typically attack weakened...
50 Shades of Green: Cheers to Green
With football season in full tackle, and the recent conclusion of Colorado’s Great American Beer Festival, I think it’s only appropriate we give a little recognition to the ales that go above and beyond and are housed in our own backyard. I’m talking about eco-friendly beer, so while your self-awareness may be inhibited, you can...
50 Shades of Green: Shampoo for Breakfast?
Wearing makeup is like eating it… sorta, bear with me. If you consider that your skin is the largest organ in or on your body and whatever you put on it will subsequently end up in your body, you can essentially say my shampoo and conditioner were the first things I had this morning, topped...
50 Shades of Green: Hello Aloe
If you’re anything like me, you may be fairly familiar with mishaps in the kitchen. As I was nursing my already blistered collarbone from my earlier oil splat while cooking, attempting to hold an icepack between my shoulder and chin and scrubbing the dishes, my faucet literally exploded and shot into the air. While being...
50 Shades of Green: Recycled Condoms?!
As a green writer, saying you shouldn’t recycle something sounds like eco-anarchy. But it can get confusing with all the recycling do’s and don’ts, and some things are actually less beneficial for the recycling process and others just sound plain wrong. Four things that should never be recycled: 1.Recycled condoms. Truth or myth, it was...
50 Shades of Green: Full Moon Harvest Fest
Toted as Denver’s largest eco-music festival, this year’s upcoming Green Space’s Full Moon Harvest Fest will host Denver’s biggest gathering of Colorado businesses helping drive growth in Colorado’s economy while remaining committed to sustaining our picture perfect state. The affair advertises something for everyone including tastings for beer and spirits, live music from a throng...
50 Shades of Green: BYOB
Bring Your Own Bag, that is. For those of us who consistently leave our reusable bags in the car and can’t seem to remember until the checkout line that we even brought them to begin with, (I plead the fifth) it may start affecting more than just your conscience, it could also start affecting your...
