Green Beer

Leave it to me to get to the most important stuff first.

How can I be a more eco-friendly beer drinker?

Thank goodness I'm not the first one to wonder. There is lots of interesting information to be found here.

PS - It is very possible that I get no traffic on this site as it is new and unpublicized for the most part. But, if you make your way here and you have found yourself The One Beer that I need to know about, please do tell!

Green on the inside

I'm sickly today, so I've spent a good deal of time browsing some of my favorite go-green-0r-go-home sites, diy sites and other places that have just the faintest hint of patchouli. I've never been a hippie or a hipster...but something more down the middle, with a touch of damn-it-all thrown in there for good measure. I care about people, the environment and my responsibility to the aforementioned. It can be exhausting thinking about all the things I should be doing. I know the appropriate approach is to do a little at a time, and I do. But, I've been slowly making my way down Granola Way and I'm very close to turning in my Ziploc bags and salon died tresses for hemp bags and henna.

In my efforts to be healthy inside and out, as well as be conscious of my footprint it seems like the timing is right. I don't know if I'm going to run out and make myself some shampoo...but maybe I'll start using a shampoo bar.

Low light highlights

I've just ordered the new Nikon 35mm prime lens and I can't wait to get it. I need a lens for low light and portraits and this one will auto-focus with my D40. The lens in back ordered pretty much everywhere, but should be back in stock any day now. The reviews are mixed; some people are trading in their 50mm for good, others are sticking with it. Since the 50mm only works manually on my camera, I will no doubt keep it. I'll be using it at a friend's wedding reception on the 17th. I'm geeking out!
