Photos via Jaymi Heimbuch While at The Ki this weekend, I came across a display of hair care products. I usually swerve past this type of product at events, sure that I’m going to be bathed in greenwash in the first 30 seconds. But what caught my attention was the fact that the booth had only three products. A hair care line with only three products?

October 25, 2010 No Comment
The Brower Youth Awards (BYAs) are one of my favorite environmental events that I attend every fall. This past Tuesday was no exception, when six inspiring young activists were recognized for their environmental activism and environmental justice advocacy.

The Tel Aviv Port public space. Image: Mayslits Kassif Architects . On Saturday mornings, I’ve gotten into the habit of going for a run by the Marmara Sea. The concrete path is worn, and follows a busy road, but the broad view out over the churning sea to the Asian side of the city is still rejuvenating. On the jagged rocks between the path and the water, amateur fishermen set up little camps, coolers and grills at the ready to enjoy the catch of the day, while young couples hold hands and gaze out at the sea.
