Title: Nessa Tips
Post by: Giuliana on May 25, 2009, 03:46:45 pm

Random tips:

  ;) Has a hybrid Even better: "I don't own a car," says Vanessa. "But if do I rent one, like when I'm in L.A., I rent a Prius."

  ;) Bikes or walks when possible "I don't have a bike but I walk everywhere," says the New Yorker.

  ;) Takes mass transit If her destination's not in walking distance, "I take the subway...unless I'm in a total bind, and then I take a taxi."

  ;) Recycles "Yes! Glass, aluminum, plastic, cardboard and paper."

  ;) Collects compost "I don't have the machine for it. Plus, I don't cook -- I mostly eat granola when I'm at home."

  ;) Brings reusable bags to the grocery Vanessa loves collecting cloth bags from the 1950s and '60s, and also digs the cool designs made by Enviro Sax

  ;) Uses filtered (instead of bottled) water And her Britta sits atop her countertop as proof!

  ;) Uses eco-light bulbs "They're longer-lasting too! I haven't changed mine in years!"

  ;) Wears organic or second-hand clothes "I like the line put out by Bono's wife [Edun]. But in general, I wear vintage." Her favorite store: New York's Exquisite Costume.

  ;) Eats organic food. She's no longer a vegan ("I turned green -- I mean, literally: my skin tone!"), "but when I do eat meat, it has to be organic. I shop at local markets where I can trust the sellers. It's hard to trace exactly where your meat is from -- I mean, sometimes you're in an airport and you have a chicken sandwich. But I do what I can."

God, I love her.

And I'm glad I'm not the only person in the world who just loves to walk everywhere.

Hehe I loved reading this :) It's always great to hear when someone that you really love is eco friendly, plus loves walks! :) Walking is great.

Those bags looked cool! No wonder she likes them!

And they're eco-friendly too!
