I’m having one of those “I’m-so-speechless-to-write-and-I-don’t-know-where-to-start” moments. Ever have them? Ugh. That’s all I want to say, but I’d like to be a bit more articulate, so here goes. As predicted, this is a rant on plastic. If you’re not feeling it, I’d suggest leaving now because I’m really digging into this one (i.e. it’s…
In an effort to marry my love of food with my passion for ranting about plastic, and to end 2017 on a yummy high note, I give you: Kimchi. Yes. Kimchi! Sure, you can buy it in giant plastic tubs at grocery stores the world over, and yes, it will no doubt be tasty, but…
“What can we do?” This was matter-of-factly stated to me by a conscious human, at a health-foods store (Lower Mainland, BC) in regards to the scourge of plastic plaguing the aisles of our grocery stores, the coffee cups we sip from, and the bottles we house our water, juice, and sodas in. *face-palm* In the…
It’s been a while since I actually ranted about plastic, so how ’bout a twofer? The subject matter? Bottled water…my favorite! Companies profiting off of suckers thinking they’re getting a product that’s something other than plain, ‘ole tap water. *sigh* Let’s go in chronological order, beginning with an unexpected post-Halloween find… On a recent walk…
I can’t think of an appropriate title for this post, mostly because my brain is doing that spinny thing where too many thoughts and feelings are swirling around at once and nothing is sticking. Well, some things are, and they include: Belief Mindset Attitude Get-over-yourself Just go do the thing (which I’ve previously written about)…

Guess what we’re talking about? Yes, that’s right: marine debris!! Here are two reasons why you might consider signing up: This webinar will feature…
Hello, blog-o-sphere, I always wondered why it was called that. “Blogosphere.” Who came up with that term? Oh, turns out someone actually did coin the phrase: Brad Graham. Thanks, Internet. And hats off to you, Brad, for your contribution to society. I should see if the word has made it into the dictionary yet. 😉…
I’ve been mulling over how to approach this blog post for about a week now. Why? Because, quite frankly, I haven’t been sure of what to say. This post, to nobody’s surprise, is about plastic. I talk about plastic all the time though, and a lot of people already know about the plastic pollution problem…
Ready? OK, now that we’ve all freaked out, let’s take a breath. *Exhale* After about 2 weeks, it’s finally starting to sinking in and I can finally broadcast the news: I’m going to Midway. Not only am I going to Midway, I’m going there for 4 months. 4 whole months!!! For those of you who are…
Something we all know: Nature. Is. Awesome. Why are we leveling rain forests for corn and cattle, when there exists fungi that have the potential to partially solve the growing global waste-management crisis?
