Congratulations! Your Thanksgiving dinner was a success. You deftly ducked that pesky relative’s pointed questions regarding your marital / childbearing / Facebook status. You navigated the dinner spread with an eye on the gravy and didn’t waste too much time on mini-marshmellow-laden candied yams. And those wine / gravy / Manhattan stains are totally coming out. Judging by the strain on your belt (down to the last hole, natch), it was a little too successful. Instead of letting yourself glaze over before jerking awake in a guilt-filled January state, why not get the non-toxic ball rolling now?
Here are a few past Umbra columns to get you started:
- Green your transportation footprint while shaping up: The environmental footprint of bikes
- Feel the crunch: The safety and environmental impact of exercise balls
- And a question you never knew you had: Umbra on whether losing weight releases toxins stored in fat
This year marks the 10th anniversary of our Ask Umbra advice column, and to celebrate, we’re pulling a favorite gem of eco-advice out of the archives each week.
