I'm trying hard to live a less wasteful life (more on that on the blog soon) and here are some of the websites I've begun following lately for inspiration: Litterless (love this one and only wished she posted more often!), Going Zero Waste (This has some good tips for starting out, but sometimes doesn't explain concepts fully), Fairdare (combines many aspects of a website that I like, sustainability, pretty pics, memade capsule wardrobe, etc...).
And speaking of wardrobes this was an interesting quick article on sustainable fabrics.
It really boggles my mind that the prehistoric horseshoe crabs is used constantly in everyday medicine. This practice might be putting them at risk.
I'm loving this tree map of Brooklyn and NYC. I wish it had been around while I lived there!
Two weeks ago, we got out raised bed finished! My husband did all the hard work and I just helped move it to it's home spot. Now we have to fill it up and plant!

I know we are well behind for planting a garden this year, but I'm still looking for suggestions of what to plant. Especially some late yield crops! Any thoughts?
