Welcome to the Green Apartment!

UPDATE: Due to some major life-stuff (you know the stuff), I've been neglectful of The Green Apartment. Fear not! I'm in the process of getting The Green Apartment up and running again! Check back again soon!

ABOUT THE GREEN APARTMENT: I truly believe that the choices consumers make have the power to promote real environmental change. My focus is on products you can use - and bring with you when your journey moves on.

Have you used any of these products or do you know of some that I have missed? Drop me a line on Twitter!

KITCHEN: Local Foods

Local Foods. Much of the food in the United States comes from other countries. A glance at the shelves in your local market will reveal avocados from Mexico, apple juice from China and... The transportation of these goods takes precious petroleum resources, releases pollutants into the air, and as the price for oil increases, increases food costs. And, as recent scares with Chinese products illustrate, some
nations take more seriously the due diligence that results in safe, toxin-free foods.
