A tip about keeping small bugs out of your kitchen, and a couple of sites that encourage shopping green - greenerchoices.org and alonovo.com. Val also suggests Center for a New American Dream as a source to find shops that match your values.

Listener Emails

• Jay - In your last show (on chocolate), you were discussing a Consumer's Reports article about organic food (Organic for Less) and mentioned a seafood buying guide. The Monterey Bay Aquarium also has a good seafood buying guide. It's part of their Seafood Watch program and explains what seafood to avoid and what to buy and why. The guides are customizable to the region of the country you live in and you can print out a pocket version of the guide.
• Katie - Sent us this linkwith great green travel ideas.
• Kevin - recommends greenfax.com to reduce paper use in the office, and emailing instead of faxing.
• Fiona - Since listening to your show, especially that one you did on plastic vs paper, I have bought myself a collection of reusable bags and it's been about two months since I have brought a plastic bag home. You've also helped me re-think a lot about what I buy, what things are made of, where they come from, how they're packaged, and I'm shunning all the multi-national chain stores now in favour of small businesses even though they are slightly more expensive and much less convenient for me. The only downside to your show is that after each episode I find myself craving beer and dark chocolate, and I normally don't like beer or dark chocolate!!
• Shelly - Healthy Armpit Solution - A nice alternative to deodorants is lemon juice! Yup, just a few drops of lemon juice squeezed into your palm and splashed under the pits will keep you fresh and odor-free for hours. I even keep a lemon in the fridge at work just in case my work load gets me overheated. It's easy to slice a little wedge out of the lemon and sneak it in the bathroom with me. Plus, I figure I'm doing my coworkers a favor by leaving a nice-smelling lemon rind in the bathroom garbage.
• Tim from the UK - Feeling better after Beaver Fever!
• Tiffany - Shiny Things - I wanted to tell you about ecoist.com. They make clutches and totes out of recycled candy wrappers, food packages, and soda labels.
• Mike - Sent a link to this article about bottled water.
• Tim - You mention that Aurora Glass is in Portland, but it is actually in Eugene, OR (the greenest city I've ever lived in).A funny coincidence. After I got home from work last Friday, I grabbed a beer, sat on my patio, and listened to your "Biting into Chocolate" episode. The beer I grabbed was a Jubelale, the same beer you tried in that episode.
