      Smart-Phone-Sick

      Twenty years ago, cellular phones were only for the Wall Street bunch, but these days everyone, from teenagers to grandparents has one.

      Technology has brought us closer and put the world at our fingertips. But technology is not without inherent risk.

      Cell phones are essentially hand held microwave devices that send short bursts of pulsed microwave energy when establishing a call and when transmitting and receiving voice communications.

      Would you put your head right next to a microwave oven? The wattage is much smaller with a cell phone, but recent research is calling into question the long-term safety of these radio frequency devices.

      The world of convenience has evolved much faster than our understanding of how these devices can affect our health.

      What do cell phones, cordless phones and Wifi have in common? They all emit EMFs (electro-magnetic fields).

      WHY SHOULD WE CARE . . . ABOUT A GREEN BURIAL?

      I know. It seems like a dreary topic on the heels of Valentine's Day. It's probably never a wonderful time to hit you up with this subject, but we're all going to face it one way or another, and for reasons you are about to catch a glimpse of, we should be making more informed decisions that can help us and those we love leave this earth with a much lighter carbon footprint.

      Our audience seems to be fascinated by this topic and every time we have the Green Reaper, Elizabeth Fournier on the radio show, the numbers skyrocket. So, whether we admit it publicly or not, we DO want to know more about this topic.

      What we are learning is that more people not only want to have a greener goodbye, but a more meaningful and personalized one. We are astounded at some of the ways that both of these can be achieved. But first, some crazy statistics on why we should care . . .

      Certified organic fruit, vegetables and legumes may not be suitable for a vegan diet. This is a bold statement. Many may be shocked to hear this since a vegan diet consists of plant based foods, exclusively.

      Certainly, organic certification will guarantee the best quality produce without the use of harmful pesticides and is much better for the environment, but is it "animal product free"?

      It is the way these crops are cultivated that puts into question how well they fit into the vegan ethos.

      Vegans choose to avoid animal products for a variety of reasons, such as health, environmental, ethical or spiritual concerns. Vegans not only avoid consuming meat, they also shun dairy, eggs, honey, gelatin as well as non-edible products like lanolin, fur, wool and silk.

      Should the line be blurred then, when it comes to the use of animal waste products as well?

      How green is your sex life?

      You recycle, load up on organic fruits and veggies, and choose biking over driving, but are you going green in the bedroom, too? Here are 11 ways to get sexy and sustainable:

      1) Meet your match online. Dream of saving the planet with Mr. Right, The Eco-Friendly Edition, by your side? Log on to find your greener half: dating sites like ecodater.com and greenfriends.com cater to singles looking for an eco-minded partner.

      2) Slip into organic undergarments. Look for sexy and sustainable materials like organic cotton, hemp silk, or bamboo. Brands like Stella McCartney and Cosabella have plenty of eco-friendly options. Or hit your favorite vintage store, where you can almost always find sexy, retro styles (think pinup-inspired corsets and flirty slips).
