A Beer Even The Saints Will Love

Ah March 17th, the excuse to imbibe emerald-hued intoxicants that we’ve been waiting for all year. When you toast a Saint named Patrick this year, why don’t you really go green by making that beer organic. Why bother when Natty-Lite already gets your room spinning faster than a dradle on a carousel? Because organic beer is giving both microbrew aficionados and American buzz-chasers a reason to raise their glasses and their expectations.

The fewer the chemicals, the better tasting the brew, and the less green your face will turn the morning after. That was my theory anyway, and like any good scientist, I ran an experiment to test it.

I See My Light Come Shining

Not long ago I decided that, whether my roommates liked it or not, the apartment was going green. I switched the electricity over to wind and low-impact hydro, I replaced their fluffy white TP (which constantly clogged the toilet) with some eco-friendly Seventh Gen. But when it came to switching out our light bulbs… I balked. $5 a light bulb to make my apartment look like a cubicle in the financial district? No. Not gonna happen.

Charge it on the go

Forget the car, charge your iPod as you book it down the beach on the barefoot express. Plug your car charger into your tote, put your bag towards the sun, and you’re ready to go. You don’t have to worry about sitting too far from the outlet when you’re running on solar. The bags are made locally in the US by a company that swears by sustainability, so we think they’re really cool. We also think the bags are a great excuse to ditch your car while simultaneously repurposing your car chargers.

Hit the Beach

In once simpler times, the summer beach vacation stood for all that was mindless and fun. A true getaway in the most fundamental sense--slather on some sunscreen, shut down the brain, pick up a trashy novel, and lounge with nary a care in the world. At the risk of reverberating buzzkill, it must be noted that these are "simpler times" no more.
