Apparently my Green Mountain Coffee post ruffled a few more feathers than I had realized. Just after I posted about the response from Heather, Michael Dupee commented on the original post with some words of his own. He is the VP of Corporate Social Responsibility and instead of paraphrasing what he said I’ll let him […]
Yesterday I posted a short rant on Green Mountain Coffee’s seeming lack of respect for the environment with their K-Cup systems. In a response in the comments, a reader assured me that Green Mountain was making an effort to change. In a exercise in speed and good PR, Heather Davis added a company wide memo […]
I just saw an ad for Green Mountain Coffee on a fellow green blog (I won’t name names, this has nothing to do with them). The ad says “Brewing A Better World” (pictured above) and talks about their fair trade certified coffee. Fine, great, good for you. But, what about brewing single cups of coffee […]
I just came across a new green magazine aimed at women and created by Newsweek and Washington Post: Sprig.com. On a quick skim, it seems like a combination of US and Martha Stewart’s Living with green and organic living tips sewn in. The articles aren’t incredibly in-depth, nor tackle huge environmental issues, but they seem […]
If you’ve been noticing a slew of alternative based fuel posts lately on Swye, you’ve noticed our excitement over the possibilities of weening the US, and effectively the rest of the world, off fossil fuels forever! One of the problems with some of these processes is the processing the “crude” oil requires before it can […]
Green funerals are catching on in a big way as an alternative to the chemical-laden processes way we’ve been presented with for decades. Many companies have offered natural pine caskets and even ones made of cardboard, but the SpiriTree is an all natural, carbon negative way to honor your loved ones with “a living, growing […]
No one can deny the benefits of composting, but most people can’t stomach the thought of it nor do they want an ugly green or brown smelly plastic bin laying around in the space they already don’t have.
Daily Dump makes decorative clay composting pots that either come painted with one of their designs or […]

It seems that news is continuously coming out regarding different neurotoxins, hormone endocrine disruptive chemicals, and toxic allergens being found in everything from toothpaste to water bottles. However, the most disturbing part of all of these reports are that a LOT of these products are specifically made for babies and children!!!

So you’re bummed because just found out your favorite all-natural brand was bought by a large corporation. Whether it’s Burt’s Bees you’re mourning or Honest Tea you’re upset about, the question still remains, am I doing the right thing by still buying this brand? Will the company’s ethics and core values still stay the same? […]
While aquisitions like Burt’s Bees to Clorox make us cringe and make huge headlines, some of your favorite organic and natural brands could have been bought up before you were paying attention or right beneath your nose. One of my favorite magazines, GOOD, put together one of their well known infographs on the ownership of […]
