Friday Green Links – 2/26
So the links this week are a little heavy on the makeup, because that’s what’s on my mind. I promise to be all butch again next week. On to the links:
- Organic Personal Care Products – Focus Organic. Guest poster Jeff McIntire-Strasburg points out that personal care products are allowed to use the term “organic” without being certified in any way.
- My Personal Care Products – The Conscious Shopper. Erin talks about the personal care products that she uses.
- Simplify Your Life with the 60 Percent Solution – It’s Frugal Being Green. I think I have to admit to a girl-crush on Erin from The Conscious Shopper. I didn’t even realize this was her until after I’d already included it here.
- Green Paints Top Consumer Reports List – It Pays to Live Green. Does this mean low-VOC paints have come a long way or Consumer Reports has?
- Celebrating MOO – Bar Harbor Times. Maine dairy farmers cut by Hood make their own organic co-op.
- Boston “Bike Czar” Nicole Freedman Talks Bike-Share & Urban Cycling – Boston GreenScene. This is for you, Elisabeth.
- Adventures in Vermicomposting – The Greenest Dollar. Since I’m still starving my worms (who are, oddly enough, thriving) to get rid of flies, I’m vermicomposting vicariously.
- How to Sew on a Button Correctly – The Digerati Life. I know, I know—who doesn’t know how to sew on a button? Me.
- Ten Uses for Hydrogen Pyroxide – One Green Generation. Still collecting cleaning info…
- RIP, Hummer – Boing Boing. We win! Woo-hoo!
That’s all for this week. As usual, if you see anything interesting, send it my way.

We actually don’t have holes on the bottom, just the top, because we were worried about leakage. It doesn’t seem to get too wet inside, so I don’t think they’re actually necessary.
I met someone who had one of the tray systems and she complained that the compost was too compacted by the weight of the trays and most of the worms never migrated to the top trays. So I decided it wasn’t worth the cost.

Aw, shucks…:) We’re also starving our worms right now – not because of the fruit flies but because we keep having leaking issues. I’ve been eyeing those fancy worm bins like on the Greenest Dollar post and wondering if that would solve our problems. But then again, I’m cheap.
