Before you fire up that gas powered lawn mower tomorrow, think about how much black smoke they spew into the air.

In fact, Just Cause says,

"The EPA estimates that 10% of the nation's air pollution is caused by lawn equipment such as chain saws, lawn mowers, golf carts, blowers and weed whippers. 5% can be contributed to lawn mowers alone."

Electric push mowers are not the wimpy little corded things of years past. They are lawn mowing mega-beasts with an appetite for all varieties of grass (and weeds, in my case) with a much lower level of environmental flatulence.

Humans aren't the only ones who need good quality organic food to keep us healthy and strong.

Dogs do too!

Always use caution when acting as your pooch's personal chef, because lots of things yummy to us people are toxic to our four-legged friends.

No need to worry about that with this recipe, however, these frozen organic doggie treats will definitely please the pooches as the temperature rises.

Organic gardening is an entirely different way of life.

However, even if you're not willing to take the plunge into a completely organic Earth-friendly lifestyle, there are still some steps you can take in your home garden to minimize your impact on the environment.

Bamboo has the uncanny ability to make even the most mundane of items take on a luxurious and exotic flare.

That's great, considering it's MUCH more sustainable, eco-friendly, and affordable than wood of all varieties.

Here at The Fun Times Guide to Living Green, we talk a lot about bamboo--from how to make your home panda friendly to incorporating it into your sex life (and everything in between).

But something we've never done is get all DIY with the not-so-tasty panda palate pleaser...until now.

In the fight to save energy we find ourselves up against a plethora of foes.

Luckily, we also have quite a kick ass arsenal too.

I recently told the tale of my experience speaking to some local 3rd grade elementary classes on Earth Day. One of the ways we talked about kids being able to get involved in living green was to take their parents on a ghost hunt to find sources of phantom power draw in their homes.

But what's a person to do when you find a mass of energy sucking vampires clustered together behind that enetertainment center or under the computer desk?

A smart power strip is better than a wooden stake to those vampires!

We all know that biking is pretty much the most efficient way of getting around known to man, but we can also get our green running shoes on too.

If you've never participated in or been in the crowd of a marathon or half marathon, you're totally missing out!

I'll be heading down to bike the marathon course at the Country Music Marathon here in my hometown of Nashville, TN tomorrow.

So how can you green your running habits and gear? It's pretty easy. What's more is you can even run a green marathon or half marathon too! There's probably one coming up near you that you don't even know about!

Having a hard time finding fun and easy information on living green?

Mozilla's social media browser, Flock, rolled out it's Eco Edition yesterday on Earth Day.

I downloaded it and have been exploring it's features today and my official analysis is WOW!
