Martha Stewart Living Jan 2007

The January 2007 issue of Martha Stewart Living has an extremely comprehensive feature on how to clean your kitchen, from oven racks to your toaster’s crumb tray, chemical-free, with such household staples as baking soda and lemon juice. I like the fact that this story isn’t being touted as being particularly “green” or “eco” but is just what it is—the best way of keeping your home clean and healthy for the people (and critters) you love … or at least tolerate. (Treehugger blogged about Shaklee’s Get Clean starter kit of concentrated, nontoxic, biodegradable cleaning supplies that might be of further interest to some, as well.)
Also in the issue is a look at photographer Bill Abranowicz and family’s environmentally friendly ski house in the Catskill Mountains, built with sustainable building materials and with energy-saving features in mind. Take an online video tour of their home on MarthaStewart.com, and the explore some ideas you can use to make your home more energy-efficient.

[...] for almost two years, i’ve lived the organic lifestyle. 75-80% of my groceries are organic and 100% of my cleaning products - Ecocover, Earth Friendly, Mrs. Meyers and Target’s Method line - all products contain biodegradable ingredients, have not been tested on animals, and are non-toxic - are free of dangerous, dehabilitating chemicals (note: Martha Stewart Living’s Jan 07 issue is chockful of information on homemade cleansers and ways you can keep your home clean and detoxed). even my little porker (Sophie) uses biodegradable litter (corn feed) and she eats grain-free organic food. I eat less chicken & red meat (as it takes a startling amount of water & resources to make one cheeseburger) and I’ve recycled, reused and consumed less. I buy less and repair, mend more. [...]
