That’s just nuts – soap nuts, that is.

March 14, 2011 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

Have you heard of soap nuts?  They aren’t really nuts but rather, a berry.  Completely natural, kind to the environment and CHEAP.  I’ve used Amway laundry detergent for 30 years and have always been happy with it.  It was one of the very first to be made without all the fillers and is phosphate-free.  It’s…

Small Stuff…

January 24, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Sometimes we wonder if our seemingly small actions really make a difference. A couple of days ago I had a meeting in town and afterwards, as I started home, I saw the person in the car ahead of me toss a can out his window. Grrr…. It was a quiet, residential area and no other…

Blog Action Day: Climate Change

October 15, 2009 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I am getting a rather late start on this post for a variety of reasons. For one thing, I spent a good part of this afternoon doing something I very rarely do – watching the news. The story of the helium balloon and the six year old they thought was in it captured my attention….

Yes, I’m still here…

April 17, 2009 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

I know I’ve promised posts and pictures of our trip to New Orleans. It seems like I’ve been in a barely functioning recovery mode ever since we returned but I’m starting to get a handle on things. I think. My daughter and I are leaving around noon today for Plano, Texas where we will attend…

Going to a Green Conference…

March 18, 2009 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

My daughter, Lisa, and I are going to the Oklahoma Sustainability Conference this Saturday in Edmond, Oklahoma. We are both ridiculously excited about this and I hope to have some interesting things to share afterwards. I don’t know if I have many readers who live in this area but if so, it’s not too late…

Missing the whole concept…

May 14, 2008 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

Last night David and I went to the local Walgreen’s to select a birthday card for our son-in-law. That was the only item we purchased. While I was pulling out the correct change the cashier slipped the card into a bag. As soon as I noticed what she was doing I said, “Oh, that’s okay…I…

Earth Day…

April 22, 2008 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I really should have written an Earth Day post a couple of weeks ago and saved it for today because my brain is still not firing on all cylinders after our New Orleans trip. It would have been nice to give you a list of great tips or some really inspiring message about protecting the…

Changing the World…

March 31, 2008 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

One of the *green blogs* I enjoy is No Impact Man. He has an interesting post today about the “needle exchange approach to planetary damage” which is well worth the read. I’ve long been a believer in the idea that lots of people doing just a little can make a big difference. Some seem to…

One blog at a time…

March 30, 2008 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

My daughter is hosting “Changing the World One Day and One Blog at a Time” on her site, Retro Housewife. You can read about it here. In our household, we participated in Earth Hour tonight and had a wonderful time. We enjoyed a leisurely meal by candlelight lasting more than the required hour and then…
