It’s a fact, summer is nearing an end. Labor Day weekend is (almost) here, autumn is around the corner, and before we know it, the warm weather will be on its way out. But, it’s not too late to take advantage of the last sunshine, especially if you live somewhere that’s headed for an Indian Summer.

We can’t think of a better way to prolong the laid-back feel of summer than hitting the green for 18 holes, and we can’t think of a better shirt to wear while you’re doing it than the Kavu Long Sleeve Polo Shirt. Click here to read more

Now that car manufacturers have figured out how to green the core of their cars (electric engines), they can turn their attention to the exteriors, an area largely ignored so far. And why not? While tackling the emissions and fuel efficiency of a vehicle is crucial, working on ways to minimize the impact of creating that car is also important.

Lotus made the news nearly a year ago for the limited edition Eco Elise, which featured hemp composite body panels and hemp fabric for the seats, but those changes seemed somewhat insignificant when paired with a conventional engine and normal fuel consumption. Now a Canadian car design company called Motive Industries is getting ready to roll out a prototype that pairs an electric engine with a composite body made from super-sustainable hemp.

We’ve already filled you in on all the great green stuff Jack Johnson is doing with his current tour (and at home in his recording studio), but he’s far from the only musician working hard to make the world a better place. Another shining example is Sheryl Crow, who’s famous for calling on people to use only one square of toilet paper, but is actually doing much more than making semi-serious jokes.

Crow’s latest tour shares many of the same ideas of Jack Johnon’s eco-events, with heavy duty recycling and waste reduction at work at every stop, tour buses inhibiting their impact by fueling up with biodiesel, green goods for sale at each show, and the total carbon footprint for the whole thing being offset by contributing to renewable energy programs.

There are countless exciting things about having a baby, and many things you’ll want to talk about nonstop (that perfect little onesie that seems unbelievably tiny, for example), but there are also the less desirable aspects and some of those are mostly kept under wraps.

One perfect example of something that moms-to-be would rather avoid (or at least gloss over) is the pain, swelling and sometimes stitches they can be left with after giving birth. Unfortunately, it’s a like it or not situation that may show up against your wishes, and if it does, it pays to be prepared.

If your due date is looming, now is the time to pick up a postpartum soother for your sensitive areas, and one that receives rave reviews from new moms, childbirth professionals, and gals-gone-green is Earth Mama Angel Baby’s New Mama Bottom Spray. Click here to read more

If you think most reality TV is garbage, Terracycle’s reality show should fall right in line. Except it’s actually a good show…it just happens to be about garbage.

Called Garbage Moguls, Terracycle’s now-in-its-second-season TV show follows the enterprising young minds at one of the countries most promising recycling-related companies, and their exploits in the eco-world are anything but boring.

Environmentally-conscious individuals will get a kick out of seeing how products get “upcycled” from someone’s trash to a new treasures sold in stores like Target and Office Max. Like a conversion of used dog food bags from Pedigree into a whole host of pet products that include leashes, toys and clothes, which are subsequently pitched to some dog accessory execs.
