Reality Bites

I need another email newsletter like I need an ice tong in the eye, but I drank the PR Kool-Aid and signed up for Idealbite, a sustainable lifestyle tip sheet. Written in chummy language, with cute illustrations and factoids, Idealbite is an easily digestible daily briefing on all things green. Recent takeaways: Camping gear made from recycled bottles, evil ingredients to avoid (like parabens in shampoo that cause cancer and, potentially, weight gain), and where to recycle last-year’s laptop. There’s also a blog. High marks to the creators for adding some luster to low-impact living.
