92.5 the River, Boston (WXRV) is now airing green tips from me and Green on the Inside every day, seven days a week, four times a day! I will be uploading one a week to my website, too, so you can check it out there, or stream them from anywhere at www.theriverboston.com.

So if you're wondering what easy green action you can take and would like a tip or two, tune in and green up!!

(I don't know which one they aired today, but I believe I started with...choose not to idle your car!! Details forthcoming.)

I take the T!! Which is great on a snowy day like today (well, at least better than driving!)

Hi. I wanted to add a few other things we've done to be "green". After talking to Jess about how to introduce more Green ways of living we bought an eco friendly dishwasher which uses a lot less water than your average dishwasher and we've replaced most of old our lightbulbs with compact flourescent bulbs. Also, I only use organic shampoos for my son and am starting to use an organic shampoor for my hair as well. We buy only organic dish washing liquid and laundry detergent. Also, I buy these fabulous baby wipes that are all natural and biodegradable (Nature Babycare).

I own a packaging business and so many of our customers only want eco friendly shopping and garment bags. I look forward to hearing Any tips on green packaging . Thanks, Jess!

i live in a dorm, and eat in a dining hall. when i'm in a rush, it's so tempting to just take some of their disposable plastic dishes and eat on the run. but learning from Jess, i've been more conscious about the impact of my actions on the environment. lately, i've been bringing my own Tupperware or travel mugs instead of using a new paper cup each time. it's actually really nice--not only better for the environment, but it makes me think twice about how i eat and how much space i make to take care of myself in the midst of the madness of a Harvard schedule. thank you!

I have 2 kids and based on Jess's recommendations I am going to make suggesstions to my daughter's teachers to be more conscious of these issues in the the classroom.

At work we have a water cooler and Jess suggested I bring in a water bottle to refill instead of using multipule cups.

We had a guest from southern Morocco staying with us for a couple of months, where water is a precious resource. He showed us how to wash the dishes using barely any water. Fill a small tub with warm dishwashing water. Turn off the water. Wash everything up using that small amount of water, and then rinse quickly with cold water. Also makes your soap last a lot longer. And, you can do the same thing when you take a shower, or brush your teeth!
