Summer is so great!  No homework, no coats and scarves. Just long days, flip flops, and "Oh-Oh, Those Summer Nights!"  Time to enjoy outdoor concerts, picnics in the park, backyard barbques, walks on the beach, and the increased beer, wine, lemonade and general beverage consumption that goes along with all these events.  But increased consumption leads to increased waste, so I was thrilled to discover BottleHood, a company that makes beautiful glassware out of reclaimed beer, soda, wine and liquor bottles!  Check out this stunning line of tumblers, juice glasses, plates, nut and cheese trays - and get double EcoChipz Rewards points on any BottleHood purchase on EcoPlum throughout the month of August.

And while we are on the topic of beverage consumption, the EcoPlum team had a really amazing time at the Green Drinks Tenth Anniversary party at Hudson Terrrace this month.  It was a great way to welcome our newest team member, Bobby Sciortino, whose new column, "Slow Food for Thought," is creating oodles of comments on our site.  Of course our regular columnists are also creating some buzz with their coverage of eco friendly insect repellents (get it, buzz!), eco friendly fashion, safe cosmetics, and green interior design.  But Dede probably got the best assignment this month, covering Entourage actor Adrian Grenier and his many environmentally focused projects.  Hope you enjoy this and all our content this month. 

If you follow us on facebook, you know that we post the latest news and trends in sustainability throughout the day.  Well now we have compiled these news items into a daily magazine.  Subscribe to The EcoPlum Daily to stay current in all things green.

As we do every summer, we have combined the July and August issues of EcoPlum Pie, but we will be back in September with our monthly newsletter!

HAVE A GREAT REST OF SUMMER!

The last eighteen months or so have been an adventure of sorts: I stopped eating animals. I won't say I stopped eating meat, because depending on whom you ask, this may only include red meat, maybe chicken, and probably not fish.Read More!

It's that time of the year again; it's hot, humid and hazy - the perfect environment for those pesky little mosquitoes, gnats and ticks! Five minutes outside in this weather and you're already scratching and rubbing your irritated, red, newfound bumps. Read More!
