How we roll
You’ve had a taste of our Feats and Eats, but how about Streets? How do we get around?
Well, we use our legs! We put the pedal to the metal, shake our thangs, and (in a pinch) hop on the bus. We have been officially car-less since November 2006. That’s when my car died. Goodbye burden and hello endorphins.
Where would we be without our bikes? No freaking where. Our bikes have...

Eco-billing
The truth is that I am a fairly cynical guy. I try to be an upbeat optimist, but we all know the deep dark truth. As a rule I don’t entirely trust businesses. I think they are looking out for themselves and their profit first and foremost. I think all of these “green” campaigns are based on half assed environmental responsibility and are ultimately just done to promote the brand...

Today Laura is 23...
And I couldn’t be any happier. I’ve know Laura for 10 years now! Since I first met her, I thought she was the coolest, most intelligent person I would ever meet. And did I mention that she is adorable too? Her freaking tiny hair? Man!
Laura, you are the most sincere, talented person. You don’t f around, you mean business. You put 100% of yourself into everything you do. You...

MIY Tooth Powder
I am a firm believer that most things are better for you if you make them yourself. I like knowing every ingredient and it’s function within the product, how it will effect my body… things like that. I am also a sucker for quirks. Unusual tastes or general cringe-factors? NBD. In fact, most of the time I will prefer said product to it’s far less endearing counterpart.

Where does our recycling go anyways?
Although I would definitely call Laura and I avid recyclers, I have for the longest time been very confused about how our recycling gets sorted (or if it even gets sorted). In Azusa, they apparently sort the recyclables from the trash (which I’ve never believed). And I remember in Florida, they had separate bins for newspaper, cans, and bottles. But now we put all of our recyclables in a...

We’re easily excited. There’s just no hiding it. So, you can imagine that we are quite a site to see as we race up to the CSA booth all sweaty and smitten, stuffin’ our bags like bandits behind the tents at the crowded Hollywood Farmer’s Market all giggly about ALL THE GREENS!!! Hey, it’s our deal. It has changed us. It tells us what we will eat for the week (fun!) and it...

That’s right, folks, we’re givin’ you the facts. Ten of ‘em. It’s your job to think about the greater implications. Here’s a few to whet your whistle.
Fact: We live...
