August Boston Green Drinks!

Boston Green Drinks is meeting TONIGHT from 6-8pm at Kingston Station.

Sadly, I won't be able to attend because I am recovering from a nasty case of bronchitis and I want to be 100% for my trip over the long weekend. But I highly encourage everyone else to attend Green Drinks and report back for me!!!

Thanks!

7 Ways to Green Your Tailgate

Football season is finally here! Here are a few super simple sustainable tips to enjoy the games!

1. Bring Re-usable flatware, plates and cups. If that isn't possible for your tailgate, opt for a biodegradable brand of one time use dinnerware.

2. Stock up on veggie burgers and organic veggies to make your grilling session well-rounded.

3. Expand your pallet with some organic beers (like Peak Organic)

4. Don't forget solar powered i-pod speakers.

5. Turn OFF your car engine and battery during the tailgate. I know its tempting to keep your car on in order to use the air conditioning or radio, but its not worth it!

6.  Be prepared for the weather - bring rain gear!

7.  Carpool - obvi!

Get Local with Style

I'm probably the last one to realize this, but I am so excited that DailyCandy has a specific page for Boston. Until now, I have been reading the "online" version of the website instead of the localized Boston version. The Boston version is fabulous for a number of reasons -

1. It makes it easier to find out about great local sales (like Second Time Around's current huge sale! Def time to pick up some second-hand swag!)

2. It highlights styles in our area - Boston may not be considered as fashion-forward as LA or NYC, but we are coming into our own. 

3. Events events events! 

I love Daily Candy because they often touch on eco-fashion or sustainability themed activities. Today's page not only has STA's sale, but also features "sustainable barbeque" on the weekend guide, and Vermont wine tasting!

Rainfest 2011

So remember Friday afternoon when that incredible thunderstorm/hailstorm rolled through Boston at around 3:30pm? Welp, it pretty much demolished the rest of the outdoor events for Friday night at GreenFest. I was looking forward to the eco-fashion show hosted by Nancy's Gone Green, but apparently they were worried about clothes getting wet and cancelled the show. It was extra-unfortunate because the weather cleared up and it ended up being a beautiful night. Oh well, we'll just hope for better weather next year. 

I missed the events on Saturday because I was off to the Seaport district to see my idol, Grace Potter, live in concert! If you are a fan of classic rock with a modern twist, you will LOVE Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. (plus she and the drummer, Matt, met at SLU!) I highly suggest checking them out next time they are in Boston!
