Well, I’m off for a mini-vacation to San Francisco for the next few days. It’s only an hour from where we live, but I’m going to stay in a hotel and visit a couple of museums. I was lucky enough to find a place to park that’s near where I’m staying, though everywhere I’m going [...]

After a long (but great) weekend at ExpoWest, we happily returned home late last night. I have stacks of notes on great new products, some seriously questionable practices, and updates on some of my favorite companies in the industry. I can’t wait to share it all with you guys, but I need a little “me” [...]

Just a reminder to you guys: If you have any questions I can try to answer for you at this weekend’s ExpoWest, let me know! In a few days, I’ll be hoofing it down the aisles at the biggest natural products show in the U.S. with my notebook in hand and [...]

Sorry for the lack of posts lately… I’ve been cranking on several projects at once, getting some of my clients (and myself!) ready for the upcoming tradeshow, ExpoWest. I’m going to be posting my Monthly Meal for February later today, so look for it this evening or tomorrow. Thanks for continuing to come back, it [...]

Hey, I was wondering something… Do you guys use Twitter? Or any other social or bookmarking sites? I’ve been trying to figure out what exactly is the appeal of these sites, and I don’t see the draw. Tell me, which of the following sites do you use and enjoy?

It’s that time of year again: in a couple of weeks, I’ll be attending ExpoWest. This will be my third year attending the show, the second in association with this website. Last year proved to be incredibly fruitful; those three days (and nights) of the show provided me with an unbelievable amount of material, not [...]

Well, there’s another family matter that will keep me away from my computer for a week. Sorry about so many gaps in between posts, but it’s due to things beyond my control. I hope you guys understand, and I’ll be back in a week.

I’m currently sitting in a Starbucks on my laptop because there’s a huge power outage in my city, and we’ve been without power at home for several hours now. I can’t seem to be able to find out when it’s expected to come back on, so it’s hard to say when I’ll resume posting. It’s [...]

I originally intended to keep writing here until Christmas Eve, but there’s been a family event that will be drawing me away from my computer until after Christmas. I’ll resume writing on the 27th (maybe), and I’ll take the day off on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day as well. (If you’re thinking of [...]

Well, I finally got the new Online Store going! I’m way excited. The first product the store is carrying is this 100% organic cotton tote bag, which is perfect for going to the grocery store. I went shopping with mine last night, and it easily fit enough groceries for me to make [...]

Two weeks ago I asked you guys to fill out a survey that was all about the Sustainable Scoop Online Store. (It’s still open for votes, by the way.) I’d like to write about the results, because ultimately what I carry in the store should be the stuff that you’re interested in. As of today, [...]

You might have heard that I’ve been hard at work getting The Sustainable Scoop Online Store ready to open for business. All of the products the store will carry are things I would (and do) use myself. I’ve written about most of the products here on The Scoop, and there are a few new products [...]

You might have noticed that down at the bottom of the content in my left sidebar are a few Google Ads. I debated for a long time whether or not I should include these ads on my site. I didn’t want to cheapen this site for any of my readers, which was the main focus [...]

Well, I’m off to Arizona for a few days, and I’m not sure whether I’ll be able to handle posting to the site from my Blackberry. I might have a meltdown like I did when we were in Las Vegas, when I tried to write a really long post and then, AND THEN. Right before [...]

For those of you who have visited this site in the last couple of days, you probably noticed that it doesn’t look like it used to. I’m sorry about the design and content changes, I’m going to be working on it tomorrow. So, hopefully everything will be back to normal by the middle of the [...]
