>> Eat organic for $1.99 a meal. Cook for Good’s got menus that show you can save money and eat within food stamp levels too. The Spring menu includes Toasted Sweet Raisin Flatbread, Potato peanut curry, strawberry short cake, and other tasty-sounding yummies. Earlier: How to eat sustainably on a food stamp budget.

>> Get your eco-friendly summer beachwear. Eco-Panda makes eco-friendly string bikinis — and lots of other eco-swimwear — with recycled nylon from fishing nets.
>> Cars don’t stop polluting when you stop driving. Vehicles get shredded — and the nonrecyclable “fluff” gets landfilled. “”State officials now say they are concerned that residue from heavy metals in the fluff could seep from landfills into groundwater, while airborne metal-laden particles could endanger workers at recycling plants and dumps and people living in neighborhoods near such facilities.” Shredders are fighting for their right to keep landfilling without additional safety precautions.
>> My high school alma mater elected a male prom queen. Earlier: My name engraved on the wall of Fairfax High.
I bookmarked the Cook for Good site. Looks good!
