What were the biggest Bites of July-September?
The Bite
Over the past three months, we've tipped topics from beach gear to breastfeeding. Some made you feel like makin' love, and others made you feel like cryin'. Here goes...The Benefits
- Most Popular Topic: Cleaning with vinegar. You Biters (and the friends you forwarded this tip to) got all googly-eyed over our, er, supersexy DIY vinegar cleaners tip. Runner-up: eco pocket guides.
- Most Popular Wanna Try?: Vinegar Tips. While not the most titillating site we've ever featured, a website packed with ways to use white vinegar proved to be our most-clicked link last quarter. Runner-up: Inexpensive modal duds from Forever 21.
- Most Controversial Topic: Eco lipstick. Lead in lipstick bugged you (we get that); putting hemp anywhere near your mouth had you wondering (nope, it won't get you high); and it seems like everybody and their Biter mom had a fave brand we "totally missed" in our list. Runner-up: Our take on the ol' water saving, bucket in the shower trick, which caused a Biter mini-uprising in the blog.
Personally Speaking
If all 380,000 Biters halve the amount of hazardous chems we use, we'll avert the weight of two bulldozers in dangerous waste.Wanna Try?

Stuff Charlize Wouldn’t Put in Her Apple Bong
The whole controversy regarding whether hemp gets you high (it came up during the controversial lipstick tip; it's used in some green lip balms) kills me. Hemp is great for almost everything but getting high: clothes, bioplastic, fuel, paper, even beer. Citing its many uses, hemp grower Thomas Jefferson (perhaps you've heard of him?) even said back in the day, "Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth and protection of the country."
Unfortch, the public's uninformed, and so even though hemp's intrinsically enviro-friendly to grow (it requires minimal pesticides and water), the United States continues to be the only industrialized country to ban hemp production. Which means we have to ship it across borders - and that's not eco, nor smart for our economy. But there is some good news: MT and ND farmers can now get licenses to grow the stuff, and awareness is rising. The Vote Hemp campaign has links for voicing your opinion on the subject.
