50 Shades of Green: Time for a Change
As an expectant mother you never want to hear about one more chemical laden product that you need to avoid, the list is never ending: soaps, lotions, clothing, bottles, toys, laundry detergent etc… So imagine my angst when I heard a rumor about diapers containing toxic chemicals. My first thought was my initial guilt over...
2020 Lawrence: Evolve to Floor-to-Ceiling Green Apartment Living
“Whether you’re a dollar hugger, a tree hugger or a health hugger, LEED buildings have something for you,” Kelsey Young tells me as we stand catching our breath from the fourth-floor climb up to the 2020 Lawrence model apartment – sporting pink hardhats and all. Young, a leasing and marketing professional for the “evolved” apartment community,...
50 Shades of Green: More Myrrh
Frankincense and myrrh, known as one of the gifts presented to the baby Jesus by the three wise men and a popular Christmas time scent, this precious liquid has been around for thousands of years.

Gardening in the Winter: The Greenhouse Alternative
With winter comes hibernation, bone-chilling temperatures, cranked up heaters and many hours spent indoors. One thing that does not have to suffer from the winter months is your garden. From Spring to Fall, outdoor gardens not only provide a source of homegrown delights, but a place of solace and escape. Winter rears its ugly head...
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...
Big City Lights: The DaVita Building
“One for All, All for One,” she whispered under her breath as silent tears welled in the corner of her eyes. He had been away on deployment for too long; but then, even just one day overseas seems like too long. She recalls breathing a sigh of relief when he messaged her saying he would be...
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...
