The Tree Hugger

As a long time eco-warrior, I would have never believed that I would have anything good to say about cement and paving. And trust me, it is hard to do so now. I don’t think that I have come to a major change in my philosophies, but I will admit that there are some benefits to some of the things that I don’t agree with. First of all, from a spiritual standpoint I believe that we were given this wonderful

Tsunamis. Landslides. Earthquakes. Draught. Snowstorms. Climate change. These events have been natural occurrences over the years. Even more so today. Some say it’s the sign of the times while others speak of Mother Earth’s vengeance for her children’s abuse. Some speak of doom while others remain hopeful and continue to fight for saving the planet. Let’s talk about the latter. Environmental

I have been singing the praises of electric vehicles (EVs) for quite some time now. EVs combine a couple of the concepts that I truly admire. At their core they are very simple machines. An EV needs an electric motor, some way to control the motor, a battery to store electricity, and a place for the driver and his passengers to sit. This is a very simple list in comparison to the things that you get to leave off if

You buy personal care products to look and feel good. However, did you know that your favorite shampoo, make-up or nail polish contains ingredients that may contribute to cancer development? Moreover, because of the popularity of the so-called “Green Revolution”, companies have learned to stamp their products with attractive words such as “natural” and “organic” even when they ar

Being green is all about the way we live. A huge part of how we live is where we live. Our homes help to define and shape us as people. However, building processes and materials are an often overlooked stress on the local and regional environment, as well as the planet as a whole. We are not advocating an abandonment of modern conveniences, setting up your home in accordance with feng shui or your horoscope, or liv

You are a soon-to-be mom. Naturally, you want the best for your baby. The best clothes, the nicest nursery, the best everything for your little one. Part of this should also be that desire to be the best mom for him or her. One way to do that is to be an eco-friendly mom. You start being a ‘green’ mom by using environmentally-friendly products. Organic products. Indulge in such products during your entire pregn

The holidays are just around the corner, you can already feel the cold breeze and people are already starting to make their own wishlists. Of course, you know that sooner of later it’s gift-giving time. But you’re on a budget and at the same time, you want to share your green values to family and friends. So what can you do? Luxurious and meaningful gifts don’t need to have a screaming price tag.

Environmental awareness is fast gaining ground in business and industry. From  food and drink to clothing, house paint, and more, companies are introducing environment-friendly products to ride the “green” consciousness. It’s not really that astounding anymore to hear people asking for moss carpets or their dermatologist about how to get rid of acne, and get recommendations on environmentally friendl

The Banana has become gradually more popular because of what it can do for the environment. As the years passed, people have become increasingly aware of environment-friendly products made from banana fibers. While some businesses use banana paper, there are still some companies that don’t have a clue about the wonders of the fruit. According to experts, farmers from Southeast Asia were the first ones to domestic

Dear Mother Nature, I woke up to the sound of my mother’s cry. I gave a start, and realized that it was half past five in the morning—too early for my mom to rise. She usually cooks breakfast at seven, especially on a weekend like this. The next thing I heard were the sound of her footsteps—she seemed in a hurry. Her soles were thumping on the carpeted floor of the staircase so hard. Then, there was my dad’
