			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Listen to this…A British town council fined a bicycle shop owner for failing to produce any commercial waste.  The Daily Mail reported that Mark Howard, 50, reuses all the surplus materials he can from  his work and sells the rest for scrap.  When the Southend Council waste contractor noticed that Howard [...]<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[It can get a little greener-than-thou out here in Ecotopia, aka the Cascadia Bioregion, aka western Oregon.  But ya gotta love the fact that the folks who put together the floating apple display in Eugene’s Fifth Street Public Market fountain not only intended to do the right thing, they were so sensitized to environmentally [...]<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Realizing that not everyone – okay, hardly anyone – is riveted by tales of egg-laying, I promise not to post weekly updates on the nest-box bounty produced by Gladys, Phoebe and Wennie, our backyard birds.  But I just had to make note of the actual eating of our very first eggs.
The eggs were smallish; [...]<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[We thought there might be more fanfare – perhaps a raucous cluck from the backyard, some high-steppin’ chicken-dancing in the pen, a bit of  feather-fluffing action – but nothing out of the ordinary happened yesterday except… one of our hens finally laid an egg! Jackson was just doing his usual morning check of the nest [...]<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[If windows are the eyes of the home, then our nephew Mike performed ophthalmological surgery on ThinHouse this past weekend.  I am here to report that the patient is doing well.
Most of the windows at ThinHouse are old, unglazed, less-than-single paned (I’m serious…several have glass that is thinner than the thinnest window glass you [...]<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[It’s lush and green out here, the height of summer, and time to sing the praises of landscaping &#8212; possibly the best long term investment for reducing home heating and cooling costs.
Here is something we all can do inexpensively, without experts, minus high tech, devoid of hype, 100 percent greenwash-free that is great for the [...]<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[What’s up with lawns?
Why is our default national landscaping a vast, green, weedless expanse of Kentucky bluegrass?  Why do most American front yards look like putting greens?
 Back in the day (as in up to the early 1800s), golf-course style lawns did not exist in America.   The typical front yard was packed dirt [...]<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Are you, like us, sick of being awash in greenwashing ?  Greenwashing.  You know, those ads –earnest, heartfelt, evocative, replete with images of virgin forests and cerulean skies – that proclaim how environmentally caring and sensitive a company is.  Like Exxon Mobil, for example.  Or our friends at Dow Chemical.  While mega [...]<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Last week I spoke to a group of forty or so older folks about the Thin House project.  These were men and women mostly in their seventies and eighties, although there were a smattering of sixty-somethings and at least one bright-eyed nonagenarian.
I was wary.
I was using the website and the blogs to help [...]<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Three years ago I read, laughed along with – and laughed at – a little book entitled The $64 Tomato, which chronicled a guy’s efforts to create a high-end vegetable garden and grow prized Brandywine tomatoes.  He figured, after adding up the (exorbitant, mostly unnecessary…in my opinion) costs of putting in and maintaining the [...]<br/>
