Celebrate Green Blog

by Lynn A few years ago my husband and I flew to London to celebrate a friend’s close-to-miraculous recovery from cancer. While there, I met up with some “greenies” whom I only knew via the web. One of my absolute favorites was Lupe Castro. Lupe is a (gorgeous) fashion stylist with a passion for sustainability. [...]

by Lynn Last month, when we were traveling across the U.S. and back, one of my biggest challenges was finding places to recycle the trash we (unfortunately) generated. This trip made me acutely aware how spoiled we are living in the northwest. Here, co-mingled curbside recycling and composting are the norm. As we crossed America, [...]

by Lynn Many hotels and resorts have jumped on the “green” bandwagon. A few are LEED certified, others make some meager efforts towards sustainability, (notably the no clean towels or sheets phenomenon that annoys me no end and which I wrote about here), and slap the label on their marketing materials. I’ve stayed at a [...]

by Lynn As we drove up to our overnight home, the “Eco Silo” in Greensburg, KS, we weren’t sure what to expect. We’d read online that this building, constructed after the tornado that had destroyed 90% of the town four years before, now served as the town’s Visitors Center as well as a B&B. And [...]

by Lynn Just back from a six-week trip roundtrip drive across the country. (You can read about some of our hilarious, frightening and unfortunately, not-so-green adventures on my Travelin’ Green blog). Although I refused as much paper as I could, I ended up with a manila folder containing maps, “what-to-do” brochures, tickets, wrappers and other [...]

by Lynn Yesterday, my husband and I packed up and left Seattle for a 6-7 week round trip to North Carolina. I’ve been a tad reluctant to bring this up on the blog for one big reason: We’re driving. If it helps, I feel badly about it. Guilty actually. When you are working to inspire [...]

Can you celebrate green with shrimp as a dish? Corey and Lynn explore…

by Corey Two weeks ago the downstair’s toilet in our one month old house overflowed with enough unmentionable sludge to fill a family-sized Jacuzzi forcing us to re-seal the boxes we had yet to unpack and move to a nearby hotel. The problem? The genius who plumbed our home forgot to remove something important from [...]
