If you're in the NYC area, stop by Marlow & Daughters, for well, a bunch of different things!

I live close!). Pick up their darling totes & tees online and in their cute little general store.
Slide to the subway, yes you can! Click here to see this amazing idea come to life.

Keep your ears open for news of the airing of Seal Wars! Oh and pick up this sweet Tee for your little ones along with lots of other great finds at the Sea Shepherd online shop.

Shift Your Habit
I was sent this great book, Shift Your Habit by Elizabeth Rogers to review. At first I thought, oh here's yet another book on going green with all the typical suggestions. But once I opened it I realized how much information was packed into this book and how worth a read it really was.
Instead of just telling you what the change, this book offers real data, real statistics on why the change matters. Not only do you find out how shifting your habits changes things for the planet you also find out how these changes help you financially. Which at this time in our lives couldn't be more relevant.
Here are some of my favorite ways to shift my habits from the book:
Make you own baby food
Save up to $1,500 per year. Juliette has only been eating solid food for about a week, and we've been making all of her food. I've already noticed how much less pricey it is for me to make it. We bought a huge bag of organic sweet potatoes from Trader Joe's for under $4.00 and she's had at least 5 meals already with it and I cooked up the rest and have frozen about 7 portions for later use. Whereas 1 jar of Earth's Best Baby Food is $1.20 at my local store.
Buy a laptop instead of a desktop computer
Save up to $45 in your electricity bill each year, and conserve roughly 450 kilowatt-hours of electricity.
Buy a multivitamin instead of individuals
Save up to $350 per year plus you conserve the production energy used to generate additional supplements and containers
This book just came out yesterday, so don't hesitate to snag a copy for yourself at you local bookstore! I'll be sure to post tons tips from the book too.

Weekend Reading: Tropical Foods & Your Carbon Footprint
I just read a great article regarding our carbon footprint when it comes to food. We all try to stay local with our purchases, but are we throwing that all away when we indulge in tropical treats such as coffee, mangoes and bananas?

Eco-Reading List
There seems to be a constant stream of environmental reading out there whether the book's focus is on climate change, animal/nature conservation, organic farming or sustainably & humanly raised animals. I like knowing there are books waiting for me, I get on a path of reading and I devour all in the genre, so I've been taking a back seat, letting the titles build up and I can't wait to delve back in! Here's my current "to read" list:
The United States of Arugula by: David Kamp
In Defense of Food by: Michael Pollan
The Botany of Desire by: Michael Pollan
Do Animals Have Rights by: Alison Hills
Seal Wars by: Paul Watson

Kevin and I totally admit, we never thought about green burial till watching the oh so amazing Six Feet Under ( I won't ruin any story line don't worry). What's a green burial you ask? And how does natural burial have negative effects on the planet? Well the answers may surprise and disgust you:
