Dating back to the 1500’s, the original English trugs made from chestnut and willow were designed for simple gardening. Fast forward 500 years and the British Empire is no more. Today’s trugs, made in Spain for harvesting fruit, come in a variety of sizes and colors. And of course they are plastic, but thankfully recycled plastic. Versatile trugs are not only for the garden, trugs can … [Read more...]
We would do anything for our pets. Not only will we look out for their nutrition but their living environment as well. Obviously with those jaws chewing on everything in sight, especially the bedding, it just makes sense to have eco-friendly bedding for our pets. Eco Friendly Organic Cotton/Hemp Blend Donut Bed for your best friends. Available in two sizes - small 22"x27", or large 27x35" - … [Read more...]
Bikes may be the most efficient mode of transporting us (they actually are), but what about all of our stuff? So much of it comes from China by ship - you know, those huge container ships which each carry many thousands of the containers that we then see hauled one or two at a time by trucks on our freeways, or lines of them more efficiently by rail. Most of the goods arriving in southern … [Read more...]
Much of today’s flooring comes pre-finished, aluminum oxide being the industry standard. Great, modern convenience at our finger tips. But with this modern convenience of a floor which requires no maintenance, there also can lack traditional esthetics. Today’s pre-finished flooring has a surface sheen which can sometimes make the wood look synthetic. If you desire a flooring which will be … [Read more...]

We take for granted that although animals take care of themselves in the wild, it is encounters with man and his world where problems occur. Livingreen’s owner Ellen Strickland had first-hand experience with wildlife in man made environments when designing interior spaces for zoos and aquariums. … [Read more...]
Time for sunshine, warmth, rain if you're lucky and lots of green, gardens, farmer's markets and.....bike rides! May is National Bike Month, an example of the work of the League of American Bicyclists, founded in 1880 as the League of American Wheelmen, but for some reason the name didn't stick. All kinds of bike events are happening as part of this, most famously, bike to work day, which in … [Read more...]
We learned last week that CO2 levels in our atmosphere had just reached 400 parts per million for the first time in human history, although it turned out to actually be 399.89. Tune in later for the actual record breaker. 350 PPM was deemed a safe level for preventing climate change and sea level rises from ice melts, methane releases from permafrost melting, etc. The fast moving trend is seen … [Read more...]
The Back The Back. When the back hurts, it is time out from everything. Either you sit or lie down and the feet go up. When this happens you are reducing the pressure on your spine and taking the strain off the rest of your body. Sometimes a few minutes of elevating the feet is all one needs. But sometimes a quick time-out just isn’t enough and you really need to be in bed. That is … [Read more...]
Left Overs A New Life For Scrap Wood Awhile back I wrote about faux finishing with AFM SafeCoat and the using AFM Acrylacq. SafeCoat Acrylacq is a water based replacement for high solvent lacquer. And anyone that has worked with traditional solvent based lacquer knows that it is more than pungent, it can knock you out! A few years back in the paint mixing department at Livingreen, one of us … [Read more...]
