I recently read Green Chic: Saving the Earth in Style by Christie Matheson. I don’t think I’m her target market; she’s aiming for a younger, hipper gal than me. However, it was a good read and she offers some excellent tips on how to “green” your life without resorting to wearing ratty clothes and skipping baths (she recommends taking very short showers).

I agree with her assessment of natural deodorants — they don’t work. I’ve tried them all and ended up smelling like an old goat. If you’ve ever been around intact, male goats then you know what I’m talking about! Science needs to work on coming up with a healthy alternative to the current formulas, but until they do I’m sticking with Secret.
