Who's Greener: Paris Hilton, or an Umbrella? By Team Planet Green IN Fashion & Beauty Jul 18 2008 Blaire is my best friend on the West Coast. She blogs regularly on her own site about the crazy town she lives in and all the crazy inhabitants. Now, I've been trying to get her to get greener for years, but it has been a struggle?and a lot of times she has a point. Leave it to Blaire though, to find the most silliest eco story out there to justify her use of a plastic bag every time. You got to admit, she's funny though + READ MORE

How Green Is Your Take-Out? By Team Planet Green IN Food & Health Jul 15 2008 Suhyun is my brother and one of my best friends. Together, we make the SuPaks, the Two Sus, the Two Paks... he's my brother and my roommate and my closest ally (awwwww!). He's also one of the most eco-intelligent people I know. He was talking about Earthships before Dwell magazine, before the fancy TV shows. + READ MORE

The Business of Death: Can It Be Green? By Team Planet Green IN Food & Health Jul 10 2008 I think it's a cultural thing, but my parents discuss their grave plot at the family table?a lot. They've been making payments on a plot in so the entire Pak clan (all 4 of us) will be able to be together in the after life. They don't find this depressing or morbid, they discuss these arrangements as if they were buying a used Toyota. + READ MORE

How to Make Meat-Free Meals, 313 Days Per Year By Team Planet Green IN Food & Health Jul 8 2008 In a previous post, I showed you how my Kirsten and I harvested lunch from her patio. Here, she talks about slowing becoming an almost-vegetarian, then delivers a super-simple recipe for making her favorite meat-free meal, beans and rice... + READ MORE

Bagging the Bag: A Revolt Against Going Green By Team Planet Green IN Food & Health Jul 1 2008 Blair and I have been friends ever since I moved to New York. We both hosted a talk show when the Oxygen Network first launched. It was a two-hour live daily talk show, so you can imagine how much time we were forced to spend with each other. Thankfully, she's the funniest, sweetest, meanest person I've ever met. She may not be nice all the time, but she will always be honest. And I'd rather have that any day?Nice is overrated. + READ MORE

My Eco-Crush of the Week By Team Planet Green IN Home & Garden Jun 20 2008 When he started the company, he had no money to package his worm poo, so he went around collecting soda bottles and realized that they're uniform and have basically the same size caps, so refilling these containers was totally doable! Now, companies come to him to help them figure out what to do with their waste. + READ MORE

Harvest Lunch From Your Patio By Team Planet Green IN Food & Health Jun 19 2008 At the end of last year, I took a trip out to Barcelona to visit Kirsten and her genetically perfected child. (Ines makes the Gerber baby look like a Garbage Pail Kid.) And as we're cooking a meat-less, but delicious and protein packed lunch (see Kirsten's 15 minute lunch recipe below), she introduced me to the concept of "food miles"?or the amount of miles and energy it takes from pitchfork to dinner fork. + READ MORE

Why I Wash My Hair With Floor Cleaner By Team Planet Green IN Fashion & Beauty Jun 17 2008 This is my vote for the most eco-friendly household product. I use this stuff to clean my floors, countertops, cabinets; I wash my hair with it, take a bubble bath in it and do my laundry with it. I use it for almost every cleaning chore I've got to do. And yes, I smell like candy canes during Christmas?what could be better than Dr. Wood's peppermint castile soap? + READ MORE

Can You Get a Ticket for not Recycling Properly? By Team Planet Green IN Home & Garden Jun 12 2008 Adam is one half of the amazing duo, Ryan Adam. Not the singer, but two of my closest and most eco-reluctant friends. Adam rolls his eyes when I ask if he knows how many wine corks go into landfills or when I put my garbage in my purse if there's no recycling bin nearby. He'd much prefer it if I stuck to the topic of Britney Spears and her spiraling madness. + READ MORE

Introducing the Green Room With SuChin Pak! By Team Planet Green IN Work & Connect Jun 4 2008 Hey guys! Welcome to our little slice in the ever-expanding Green World.
