We know that healthy eating is an important part of green living. But what if we crave junk food? How can we eat healthy anyway?

A Green Halloween

While planning your Halloween celebration with friends and relatives this year, consider your environmental impact, too. By choosing your costume, treats and decorations carefully, you can reduce environmental impacts from manufacturing, transportation, use and disposal. Establishing new traditions and bringing back some very simple practices from the past can save money as well as help the environment.

Costumes
•Make costumes from objects found around the house or visit a thrift store to find fun outfits and accessories.

I keep suggesting that one way to live the NH green lifestyle is to cook our own food, using whole, 'real' ingredients and a bit of sense. So here's a quick example: tonight's shepherd's pie.

I put some hamburger in the wok with onions, basil, salt, oregano and garlic.

My daughter washed and cut potatoes, and we put them on to boil. When the hamburger was cooked, I scooped it out and spread it in the bottom of a baking dish and layered a can of corn over that, after draining the corn into something else we were making. Then we sliced up some sharp cheddar cheese.

Keeping Cool

Summer has arrived, meaning swimming, boating, barbeques, sunshine and summer heat. The summer weather can also bring increased energy use for keeping cool. No one wants their energy bills to rise with the temperature, and finding ways to stay cool without cranking up the air conditioner saves money – and is better for the environment.

As we become more conscious of human impact on the planet, we continue to discover new ways to reduce, recycle and reuse. Yet we avoid thinking and planning for environmentally responsible disposition of our bodies. Our culture combines our fear of death with our belief that how much we spend signifies how much we love, resulting in expensive funeral decisions often made under duress.
