The Reisenthel Mother Child Shopping Bag (Red)
, above, is one of the most ingenious, clever, and downright adorable things I’ve seen in a while. I’m addicted to shopping bags because I’m addicted to the prospect of living green and saving our world and animals from the evils of plastic and wastefulness.
I’m addicted to straight-up adorable things because I’m a girly girl.

You’ve read about my love for Green & Black’s Chocolates (here, here, here, and here). They really float my chocolate boat. As a matter of fact, before Valentine’s Day, I was in my favorite grocery store (Kroger) looking at heart shaped boxes of candy, wishing Green & Black’s sold Valentine’s Day collections.
I’d have bought the entire shelf!
As someone who is all about the environment and, especially, the precious animals we share this planet with, I love the fact that their great tasting chocolate is made from the world’s finest organic ingredients which gives back to the environment. Now Green & Black’s Organic chocolate wants to find out how you and I live green & black – making eco-friendly choices while not compromising on life’s every day indulgences. They’re having a contest and the prize is one you won’t believe.
All you have to do is submit an original story (200 words maximum) on how you balance both the green & the black – the eco-friendly and indulgent – in your life.
The winner will receive an exclusive guest package for two (2) to the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, June 19-21, 2009. This year’s Classic will include culinary favorites Giada De Laurentiis and Mario Batali, cooking legend Jacques Pépin, grill master Bobby Flay, along with Michael Symon, Michel Richard, and many more. The perennially sold-out event will support Food & Wine’s Grow for Good campaign benefiting Wholesome Wave Foundation, a national initiative dedicated to supporting local farms and encouraging sustainable agriculture.
The winning “Live in the &” entry will be awarded the following:
- Guest passes to the Classic in Aspen Grand Tastings

It seems like I’m always preaching about “living green” on one of my blogs – if it’s not here, it’s on Self Help Daily or Out of Bounds. We should all pay more attention to the little things we do and buy, because we all know the little things add up.
Someone was thoughtful enough to e-mail me the link to a great article on Organicasm called Eco-Kitchens: 100 Big and Little Ways to Make Your Kitchen More Earth-Friendly. It’s a superb read and I promise you there’ll be numerous tips and ideas you hadn’t yet thought of.
Below are just a few of my favorites:
Get a Solar Cooker
Keep appliances separate: Keep your cooling refrigerator away from your heating oven, for example.
Instead of a side-by-side model, choose a top and bottom refrigerator, which lets less cold air escape.
Buy towels, rugs, table runners and more made of bamboo, and you’ll be using a renewable resource.
Skip air fresheners: Instead of using air fresheners, boil cinnamon, cloves, or other great-smelling herbs.
These are just a few, please check out the full list by visiting Eco-Kitchens: 100 Big and Little Ways to Make Your Kitchen More Earth-Friendly. Great stuff!
