Video Review: Grilla Bites Ashland, OR - Organic, Vegan Food Made with Passion

Last year on my West Coast trip with Robert Cheeke during his book tour we stopped in Ashland, OR to grab some food for the road from their local coop. The town was so beautiful that we decided to crash there for the night - it's Shakespearian, organic, vegan-friendly vibe completely won me over. We sought out a place with WiFi so we could book a place to stay and update our websites, which is how we stumbled upon GrillaBites. The green certifications on the windows and vegan items on their menu lured us in, but we had no idea how much of a treat we were in for.

Video: Eco Bags for Dog Poop - Biodegradable, Compostable, & Flushable Options

Did you know that there are over 70 million dogs in the United States? And each one creates up to 300 lbs of waste a year on average! It's the law to pick up after dogs to prevent pollution and water contamination, but many people use plastic bags to do this. These bags end up in landfills where they may never degrade, and the waste inside can't decompose naturally. With dog waste taking up about the same space in landfills as baby diapers, this is a problem.

Luckily, there's a solution. Check out the post and video at Eco-Vegan Dog to learn more about companies BioBag and Flushdoggy, who are helping make the world a cleaner, healthier place...and preventing people from stepping in dog shit (hate that!)

Review: Justin's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups are Eco-Vegan!

I've had my eye on Justin's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups for a while, but for some reason I never bought them. Perhaps it was the price: $1.99 for 2 small cup seemed a little steep. However, I decided to treat myself when I spotted them at Whole Foods today.

The Super Bowl goes green!

Ok, not entirely.

I watched some of the Super Bowl ads (wasn't too impressed), but this one is definitely worth sharing. Kinda makes me want to get an Audi - good marketing! ; )

Earth friendly diapers

I discovered some really near earth friendly baby diapers called G Diapers. They are reusable cotton covers with flush-able/compost-able inserts.

Apparently cloth diapers take more energy to wash and dry than it takes to produce disposable diapers, so the G Diapers might be the best option.
