Last week, I posted about the naturalistic fallacy, and why it’s important to avoid falling back on this kind of reasoning. But then I started thinking about intuition, and how much I actually value what my intuition has to say. Where Science Fails… As important as it is to give science the consideration it deserves, ...
This post is my contribution to Sustainablog's Pedal-a-Watt Powered Blogathon this weekend. The long-running green blog (and new green shopping site) is publishing for 24 hours straight to raise funds for the Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage in Northeastern Missouri. Go join the fun: read post contributions from around the green blogosphere, leave ...
Last night was a fun development in my real food journey!
While I was participating in the Real Food Challenge last month, Annette of Sustainable Eats (hello, lacto-fermentation blog carnival, how strange and cool is that!) hooked me up with the Seattle area chapter of the Weston A.

Openly Balanced moved! Or at least I did. Fortunately, I only had to move down the street into an identical house. But now we own it, which has been a surprising shift (more on that later).
Today I am thrilled to welcome a guest post from someone I really wish I had met before I left DC. Beth Oppenheim-Chan is a blogger over at 25 and Trying, where she writes about her career in the nonprofit world, life, and a bit of international development sprinkled in. Feel free to connect ...
Last week, David aka the Good Human wrote a great post about being an eco-sinner. His point? We are all eco-sinners. If you are reading this, you are an eco-sinner – the computer, the electricity you’re using, the roof over your head (unless you are this guy, who is amazing). ...
Because March 1st was the wrap-up of the 28 Day Real Food Challenge, I neglected to post about my One Small Change for March. But first, a quick update on my January and February changes. January – Goodbye, Dishwasher This was going really well until my sink broke. You know what’s hard to ...
