Thank you for commenting. As you say and as I mention in my first paragraph, aluminum foil can easily be recycled, if it is clean. There are alternatives to using foil when broiling or grilling however, when it usually ends up too dirty to recycle. The book you referred me to looks interesting. Have you read it? Thanks....

ReplyThanks for being such a loyal reader BAV! You are right - only use a mousetrap as a last resort. Once an infestation takes hold, you really don't have any alternative. Mice multiply so quickly. Hopefully you can deter them in the first place.

ReplyAnd yes you do need fats, the good fats, found in salmon and other fatty fish, olive oil, coconut oil, nuts, even real butter.

ReplyYou are what you eat. I advocate eating whole, real food grown in nature and not a chemical lab. Keep it simple and remember, everything in moderation.

ReplyGreat article! I wholeheartedly agree - we need to become more thoughtful consumers for sure! Another tip for throwing away things is to keep only those items that are beautiful or sentimental. Thanks for your sensible tips.

On the article Green Tips: The Importance of Caring for Trees

ReplyThank you for your comment and concern. You are right, the winter moth is a serious pest. The town has a small budget for urban forest trees in Winchester Center and a few select parks, but unfortunately for the forest (I assume you are talking about the Fells) there is no budget. If abutters want to get together and raise money for treatment of some of the forest trees, Boston Tree Preservation could treat (781-729-0095), but the treatment window is coming to a close for this year. Trees will push out a second growth, but after 2 -3 years of defoliation, the tree will decline.
