It’s time to man your battle stations against the most insidious enemy you never knew you had. It’s time to stop aiding and abetting the enemy. Don’t let the Green Desert continue to spread across New Hampshire. Seize the Day! The good news is this may be the easiest battle you’ve ever fought because allContinue reading “The Battle of Green Desert has begun”

Why is it Snowing in April?
Yesterday was Earth Day! How did you celebrate? We are going to start some seeds this weekend and stopped at our local farm for seasonal produce. While it’s fun to honor this special day, I truly believe that everyday should be Earth Day. Rather than participating in special actions on one day of the year,Continue reading “Why is it Snowing in April?”
Carbon Sequestration is the future (please read despite the boring title)
A recent headline on NPR caught my eye: Carbon Emissions Could Plummet. The Atmosphere Will Lag Behind. At first, my eye caught the words “emissions” and “plummet” in the same sentence and I got cautiously hopeful, then I saw the second clause and went back to my usual state of climate anxiety. Thanks to aContinue reading “Carbon Sequestration is the future (please read despite the boring title)”
What a Week.
I try to stay “on-topic” here on GreenLifeNH, but it’s obviously been quite a week in this country. Lots of rightful outrage over tragic and senseless killings, and asking for reforms that need to be made. I don’t have the answers, nor am I against the police, but we need change. We can’t continue onContinue reading “What a Week.”
Earth Day Prep
Earth Day is one week from today and there is so much to do! Trees and flowers to buy. Organizations to research. Gloves and bags to find. Books to borrow…. You may not think of Earth Day as a holiday that requires preparation, but a successful Earth Day requires just as much forethought as anyContinue reading “Earth Day Prep”
It’s the Weekend!
Happy Weekend! We’ve had different family members in town for the past two weeks and it’s been lovely. So nice to slowly return to pre-Covid times and spend time with loved ones. This weekend, our family is celebrating a wedding anniversary so we might take a day trip to Maine. Our younger one specifically askedContinue reading “It’s the Weekend!”
Happy Easter Weekend!
It might be cold today but spring is officially here and it’s Easter weekend. We might try dying some eggs for fun using alternative, natural agents like coffee and tumeric. If all else fails, it’ll be a fun experiment to do with the girls. Also, if you’re still looking for Easter basket ideas, Hannah offersContinue reading “Happy Easter Weekend!”
Be the Change – Join these two challenges today!
The family and I have been working hard this spring on our new Square Foot Garden (post on that to follow). Our goal is to plant salad green and snack foods close at hand so we don’t have to bike to our community garden every time we want a snap pea or cherry tomato. WeContinue reading “Be the Change – Join these two challenges today!”
Happy Spring!
Well, I think we can say it’s officially spring. My daughter keeps asking me if it’s “supposed” to be this warm or if we’re feeling climate change. Truthfully, I’m not sure. I’ll be honest and admit I’m starting to enjoy this warmer weather but 70 in March in New Hampshire? Is that normal? What doContinue reading “Happy Spring!”
Happy Weekend!
It’s Friday! How are you planning to spend your weekend? I have schoolwork and chores, but will also balance with seeing some friends and visiting a new-to-us farm. I love a good farm store and am excited to experiment in the kitchen with local foods that I find. This past week, I also visited theContinue reading “Happy Weekend!”
