We just made these and they turned out perfectly!

I actually came across the Holy Cow Vegan recipe earlier but was dismayed it still called for instant yeast, thank you soooo much for adapting this.

We will be making these all the time 🙂

Comment on Step Away From the Shampoo by Miami Eco-Center (@miamiecocenter)

Im a male with medium length hair down to my nose.

I wash my body with the Dr Bronners peppermint soap concentrate that needs to be mixed with water. I shampoo my head with the same once per week.

Then after I towel dry my hair and exit the shower I use sesame oil and the damp hair and it acts as a conditioner/detangler.

Every 2 days I just wet the hair and apply a little more sesame oil. I use the one from WHole Foods that has no scent.

But yeah, so glad I got off the conventional mainstream shampoos and conditioners. I was getting really bad dandruff and an itchy scalp so I first got a shower head filter and then stopped using the conventional stuff and it took 2 weeks for my hair to go back to normal and for the dandruff to go away.

Comment on Party Balloons and Sustainability: What’s the Eco-Parent to Do? by Jeremy Gustafson

My fiancé and I are thinking about using balloons as decorations at our reception; I’m curious has anyone (the author or other commenters here) successfully composted their latex balloons? Did it truly only take 6 months to decompose?

Comment on Military Homebirth: An Attack on Informed Consent by Rebekah Leppert

So sorry this happend to you. I too was an active duty Marine when my first baby was born, and my treatment at NHCP wasn’t much different. The end result was interventions I didn’t want and essentially birth trama because of the way I was treated. My personal opinion, is that obstetrics has no place in a military hospital. Birth is a very beautiful and delicate matter and should be out sourced to a local hospital or birthing facility.

Nonservice members have the option of switching IF THEY KNOW IT’S AN OPTION. I didn’t know and had no way of knowing. The military absolutely makes it as hard as possible to figure out their guidelines and wade through the legal mess to figure out our health coverage. Since I didn’t know, I ended up with a 5 week premature infant, an large, unnecessary episiotomy that was done and incorrectly repaired by a resident (no, I had no idea a medical student was even at my birth let alone that he was providing my care; no one informed or asked me), 3 days of no food or water while they decided whether or not to deliver my son, medication administered that has been shown to cause uterine rupture, and a whole other list of interventions including insulting behavior from a corpsman who got sick of emptying my bed pan (since I wasn’t allowed out of bed) after being called into my room to do it TWICE in one day.

Comment on Sustainable Holidays: Wrapping Paper and Holiday Card Alternatives by Happy Chalica! - Urban Earthworm

[…] On Sunday night, the night before the first day of Chalica, we will light the chalice and the first candle and discuss the inherent worth and dignity of every being. We will talk about what exactly that phrase means and brainstorm ways we might honor that principle. We might come up with special ways to show our loved ones how much they mean to us or seek out the positive characteristics in people (or animals) who we don’t like very much. This is a great day for writing holiday cards (but be sure they’re sustainably sourced)! […]
