ask mr. greenIs There Really an Eco-Friendly Diaper?
Dear Mr. Green,
I'm a new mom and I'm trying to be eco-minded in the choices I make for my baby. I use 7th generation diapers, but are they all they say they are? Environmentally speaking, what are the best diapers and diaper wipes?
Thanks,
Mommy to Imani

ask mr. greenTo Tree or Not to Tree
Dear Mr. Green,
I've been trying to live green this year. With the holiday season approaching and my attempts at being green so new, I'm wondering... how do you feel about Christmas trees? Live, fake, or freshly cut? And if they are OK, how can we decorate them in an eco-friendly way?
Thanks and Happy Holidays!

ask mr. greenRevealing Recycling
Dear Mr. Green,
I need the 411 on recycling. What goes in what can and when. For example, aluminum... I know I can put aluminum cans, foil from take out, but what about those little lids that peel off of your yogurt? They look like foil. And plastic - can I throw bread bags in with my other plastics? I would love to know a full list of everyday things that are recyclable but that we more often throw in the garbage can.
Thanks!

ask mr. greenFleeing from Fleas
Dear Mr. Green,
I am familiar with using diatomaceous earth for ridding your home of fleas and have even used it before with great success. Now I have a toddler crawling all over my carpets (and petting my dog!) and am concerned with her breathing in the dust. Is there a better alternative that is non-toxic to little ones?
Thanks!

ask mr. greenZen-Cleansing for Your Front-Loader
Dear Mr. Green,
Recently my husband and I purchased a new energy efficient washer and dryer that use much less water and detergent, and really clean our clothes better than our old washer and dryer.
I would love to use some of the safe time-trusted suggestions that you've recommended in your book Clean: The Humble Art of Zen-Cleansing. If the manufacturer recommends only one type of detergent for use in this machine, is it safe to use baking soda, borax, lemon juice, salt and vinegar in my new front-loading energy efficient washing machine and still keep it in tip-top running condition?
