We've got some great ideas to make your wedding not only a reflection of the love you have for your partner but also a reflection of your commitment to living green.

One food I've become quite fond of in my ongoing quest to maintain a healthy body and a smart budget is basa fillet. It's a tasty fish, with a delicate texture and nice, white flesh. A 100-gram serving provides 14 grams of protein.

The Environmental Working Group's (EWG) yearly list of the most pesticide-tainted fruits and vegetables is here, and it once again underscores the importance of organic eating. The only real question is how to do it on a budget.

According to the EPA, concentrations of the major outdoor air pollutants have fallen dramatically in the last several decades. Carbon monoxide, for example, is down 82% since 1980. Ozone has dropped 28%. And particulates are off 29% since 2000.[1]
