What if there was a way to enjoy having a live Christmas tree that you didn’t have to throw out only weeks later?

Woman and Food
By Robyn O'Brien, Founder of Allergy Kids Foundation and LuxEco Advocate
Now, I’m not sure where you stand on this whole food thing. But if you’re anything like me, you probably don’t want someone telling you what to eat. So when friends first started trying to educate me about terms like organic, local, natural and grass fed, I have to admit, I tuned out (and probably rolled my eyes). Because the reality is that food is never just food. Food is comfort.
Food is family. It is security. It is politics. And it is loaded.
Eight Great Benefits Of Walking
By Alanna Brown, LuxEco Editorial Assistant

You can just walk out the door at your favorite time of day, pop in a set of headphones, and tour the neighborhood. Research shows there are 8 incredible benefits to this type of moderate exercise.

Through Hardship and Disaster, Is Compassion the Cure?

By Nancy Chuda c0-founder and Editor-in-Chief LuxEco Living and Healthy Child Healthy World
As a society we are not immune to disasters-- not in the face of mother nature who rules. Man does not have dominion over nature. But what man instinctively has is the desire to help those in need. Having compassion is the only way we will survive through disaster and hardship.
