Smart Car Arrives at Village Green!
On our quest to become more “green,” Village Green has done a number of things to reduce our carbon footprint.

(More about Wind Power in an upcoming blog.) Our most recent effort involved getting rid of our older, inefficient, gas guzzling delivery car for...

Food, Inc.: Put this film at the top of your “must see” list this summer

We want to know how our food is produced, who or what is harmed in the process, and whether...

Lower Lipids Naturally
So often I am asked if cholesterol or triglycerides can be lowered without prescription medication. The answer is yes. First, know what your low-density cholesterol (LDL, “bad cholesterol”) is and what it should be. If it is greater than 130, it is probably too high. If it is over 100 and you have one...

Green Sunscreen, Safe Sunscreen
During many years working in fragile tropical ecosystems, I have wrestled with the knotty dilemma of selecting sunscreen. One in five Americans will have a brush with skin cancer: a million cases are diagnosed each year.

Best Organic Shampoo
Last time I reviewed the chemicals you don’t want in a shampoo. What ingredients do you want for safe and effective results, and which brands are best? The best ingredients are “certified organic,” next best are ‘organic.” Most top-performing organic shampoos provide a combination of ingredients that cleanse and moisturize. If you have dry hair,...

Harmful Chemicals in Shampoo
Eco-coaching clients often ask me about personal care products, wanting to know which ones I buy for my family. Shampoos, conditioners, and cleansers are awash in synthetic and chemical ingredients.
