Thanks for the link, Amanda. I put together '15 Green Tips for the Lazy Green Wannabes', as a joke. I agree, if only it was that easy! Although there is a bit of truth in that list. As you know, sometimes, being green is about doing less. . .
On another note, I just started removing some of my old cosmetics, and did a shopping trip to Whole Foods to replace the bad stuff. Came home, looked at the Skin Deep database, only to find that what I got was even worse than what I had before. Spent an hour doing more research, and found a brand I remembered seeing at Whole Foods, that scores well on all the products I am interested in. The lesson, don't go by the store, only by the brand.
