For the
37 percent of you who are currently in a long distance relationship, have you ever thought about how your travel to see one another affects the environment? If so, you might feel somewhat guilty about it, but after reading this
Slate article, you definitely will! Planes and automobiles wreak havoc on our environment, so when you factor in how often you're seeing each other, you're only adding to our worsening environmental crisis.

With all the recent interest in becoming more
eco-conscious, I’ve found myself learning about all sorts of new ways to start living the
green life, which is how I was reminded of
the DivaCup. It's a a contemporary and environmentally-friendly menstrual cup that's made from silicone. As an alternative to tampons and pads, the DivaCup collects the menstrual flow as opposed to absorbing it.

Happy Earth Day! As we all know, we live in a world where we must do our part to help save our planet and the environment. You've told us how you
pitch in to save our one and only planet Earth, but unfortunately, not everyone does their share.

Dear Sugar--
My sister-in-law from out of state (who I really don't know very well) is coming to stay with us for the weekend. I really want her to feel welcome and to have the feeling that she's really gotten to know me and the kids after the weekend, (my husband works a lot, so we'll be alone pretty much the whole time). What kind of things should I/we do?
