Why gardening is bad a$$
Posted by Dan Barry on
Why gardening is bad a$$ It's not just your grandma's hobby. Gardening gets a bad rap, but when you think about it, it's a really cool concept. You can literally sustain yourself. Live off the land. Create sustenance from what was once nothing. But gardening also has a pretty cool history. During WW1, Europe's farmland and agricultural workforce all became products of the war.

Celebrate Earth Day with almost zero effort
Posted by Dan Barry on
Celebrate Earth Day with almost zero effort Sustainability doesn't have to be hard. Planning to brush your teeth to start the day? Turn off the faucet while you brush.

Posted by Dan Barry on
A better way to do better: Why Marc Skid's charity model works There are tons of buy-one-give-one business models out there. Marc Skid is different. Though we support giving back in any way you can, there are a few things you should keep in mind to make sure you're making maximum impact when shopping around.

The ultimate St. Patrick's Day guide
Posted by Dan Barry on
The ultimate St. Patrick's Day guide Be a know-it-all this year. Everyone's favorite excuse to drink green beer is almost here: St. Paddy's Day. A holiday characterized by red-headed leprechauns, wearing green to avoid pinching and four-leaf clovers is actually a religious holiday. So while you're out drinking and enjoying the green Chicago river, you can school your friends in the reason for this season. St. Patrick - the man, the myth, the legend. Patrick actually wasn't born an Irishman. He was captured by Irish pirates from his home in Roman Britain at age 14 and taken to Ireland where he...
