Since we began Project Green Foot, we have celebrated a few holidays along the way. For the most part, all our friends and family have been supportive and respectful of our “no-waste gifts” theme, and we have been very appreciative of this. I think everyone knows by now how much I dislike creating ... Read More about Project Green Foot- Week 35
Speaking for the Trees
Picture it: 1970, a young boy at the tender age of fifteen is inspired to repair the smog damage in the San Bernardino Mountains in California, where he attends summer camp. He collaborates with two dozen fellow campers to transform a parking lot into a meadow of smog-tolerant ... Read More about Speaking for the Trees
Raw Lemon Pie Bar
A few months ago, I posted a raw lemon pie recipe trying to replicate the Hail Merry lemon tarts. They turned out good, but not as lemony as I wanted, and couldn't figure out why, since I used 5 lemons in the recipe! I recently decided to play around with the original recipe, and came up with this ... Read More about Raw Lemon Pie Bar
How to Build a Vertical Living Wall Garden
I was lucky enough to speak with the lovely and garden savvy, Shawna Coronado on a few occasions. She oozes green, and has the most wonderful and upbeat personality. You can't help, but love her!

Project Green Foot- Week 33
I am frequently asked how long does the food we purchase on a weekly basis last? In general, the produce gets eaten within a week with some stragglers that need to be eaten the following week. Since we juice and drink smoothies daily and eat lots of fresh produce it is not difficult to consume all ... Read More about Project Green Foot- Week 33
Earth Day- Just Another Day
Today is the day we celebrate Mother Earth and all her wonders. For me, however, I will be out treating today just like any other day. However, Skype invited me, and 3 other environmentalists, entrepreneurs, advocates and eco-enthusiasts to participate in a group video call to discuss the state of ...

Chocolate Coconut Bars
Lately, I have been craving sweet treats. I personally prefer making my own and skipping the store bought ones because they can be expensive, especially organic snacks. Sometimes, you would think they were made from gold. I also find they tend to create waste, mostly plastic waste, and they are ... Read More about Chocolate Coconut Bars
