I have to start this article by giving a good friend a shout-out…I think it’s great that he pulled so many great minds together to get this online/ recycled magazine going! Go Cubs!
Now…back to the Green Virgin and “The Garden.” That term scares me to no end! A new garden is like owning a new puppy—constant watching over, training, and care. I have, however, had success with my compost and “The Garden.” If my husband ever lets me get another dog, I promise I am going to name him/her, Garden. …

The soft whirling sound coming from Nancy Tabor’s backyard resembles the hum of an air conditioner – one that had grown wings and taken to flight.

That is the sound of a 42-foot wind turbine with three 6-foot long blades spinning in the afternoon breeze. That’s also the sound of environmental progress.

Greener Vegas about to outgrow its good deeds
As I enter Starbucks on a particularly hot May afternoon in Las Vegas, I’m greeted with two weary but smiling faces, all but too happy to jump up and order me a cool and frothy whipped wonder. These faces are those of Greener Vegas founder and owner, Zach Delbex-Smith and chief information officer, Tim Stimple.
The understandably exhausted duo, along with their chief operating officer Cynthia Stimple and a small army of volunteers, have been on a relentless mission to demonstrate the importance of …

Here it is…my first column about being green. I am, suffice to say, at much of a loss on this topic. As a married, stay-at-home mom of two boys, I am not exactly a “virgin”…so-to-speak, but, when it comes to being “green,” I am as innocent as they come! I want to share with you my first-time experiences and hopefully you will learn a thing or two and can join me in taking small steps to make Nevada a greener state, one “green virgin” at a time!

The “Going Green” trend continues to gain momentum and, hopefully, will soon be embraced by all cultures as our “new normal.” Some countries have already adopted policies that protect not only animals, but also plants as we see in Ecuador. Other countries have a farther way to go and will only travel at the speed of capital gain.
The influx of tourists to China for the Olympics exposed poor air quality and a lackluster attitude towards environmental and public health. Ironically, Feng Shui, the ancient art of placement and how environment …

When I met Chef Mayra, I instantly felt her positive energy and enthusiasm for living a green, environmentally-conscious lifestyle comprised of healthy and flavorful food.
