- [Sustainable Alternatives for a Festive Holiday](https://niveymarts.com/sustainable-alternatives-for-a-festive-holiday/) - Growing up next door to my grandparents, our family had two Christmas trees: one silver, with an old-fashioned color-wheel light that shone onto the tree's metallic branches; the other a forever-green plastic tree with bendable branches. Looking back, I remember them both with a great deal of fondness. But I’ve learned since then that neither
- [Put a Cork In it!](https://niveymarts.com/put-a-cork-in-it/) - What if there was a naturally occurring material that could easily replace plastics while remaining carbon negative? Even better, what if this material could feed an industry that provides a lucrative living to everyone involved in its production?There is. Cork.As a sustainable material for a wide variety of products from flooring to furniture, from clothing
- [Daybreak: A Hopeful Approach](https://niveymarts.com/daybreak-a-hopeful-approach/) - There is plenty of depressing news regarding the environmental issues we all face. Any news source will tell you in detail how far we still have to go, and the horrors we face if we don't "fix" our problems now, now, now. But there is also hopeful news out there. And there are companies working, just Daybreak is a board game for up to 4 players, ages 10 and up, in which players work cooperatively to stop climate change.
- [Indie Author Spotlight](https://niveymarts.com/indie-author-spotlight/) - As an indie author, I'm quite familiar with the challenges that face other indies. We wear the hats of writer, publicist, marketer, social media promoter, and so much more. Exposure and reviews play a huge role in our success, so I know just how essential it is to have help getting the attention of new readers and
- [Overshoot](https://niveymarts.com/overshoot/) - Many of us have learned, as adults, the self-discipline often required to live within our means. If we make $100 per week, but spend $150, pretty soon we’ll be faced with a choice: stop spending and use the money to pay off the bills or continue to buy stuff we don’t need until our mountain
- [Turning Down the Heat](https://niveymarts.com/turning-down-the-heat/) - In my last article, I talked about rising temperatures, and how the unprecedented surge is linked to greenhouse gasses—mostly carbon dioxide (CO2)—in the atmosphere. I mentioned that even if we stopped all the things that produce CO2 today, the climate would continue to warm for decades, due to those emissions lingering. So, if we could
- [Steamy Summer](https://niveymarts.com/steamy-summer/) - It’s no surprise that temperatures rise in summertime. Right? Globally speaking, July is the hottest month in the year, based on global average temperatures. In the northern hemisphere, it’s a given that outdoor temps will soar in July. But this year, July shattered expectations across the board. According to the Smithsonian, more than 1,000 high-temp
- [Butterflies, Bats, and Bees, Oh My!](https://niveymarts.com/butterflies-bats-and-bees-oh-my/) - We’re all familiar with the term “pollinators.” We know that pollinators of all types help plants reproduce by moving pollen from the male parts of the flower to the female parts, thereby completing the first step in the process that produces seeds and fruits. We also know that bees, especially, are important members of this
- [Introduction to Composting](https://niveymarts.com/introduction-to-composting/) - We touched on composting a few issues back in the article on “Living a Low-Waste Lifestyle.” (If you missed that article, you can find it here.) I’m going to go into composting in more detail here. I’m even hoping to learn as much as I can from writing this article, since I want to make
- [Green Alternatives to Traditional Burial](https://niveymarts.com/green-alternatives-to-traditional-burial/) - It might seem an odd choice to talk about burials when Spring, with its promise of new life and abundance, is just around the corner. But death is a part of the cycle of life in Nature. Fallen trees form both food and habitat for other organisms in the forest. Even in our gardens, nutrient-rich
- [Going Native in 2023](https://niveymarts.com/going-native-in-2023/) - I’ve mentioned in prior issues that I plan to begin shifting our grass-filled yard to native plantings over the next few years. Already, plans are on my mental drawing board, though I don’t know exactly which plants I’ll choose for those first two sites, yet. But perhaps we should review what, exactly, “going native” in
- [Reusing Plastics](https://niveymarts.com/reusing-plastics/) - A few issues/posts back, I talked about plastic—that ubiquitous substance on which our societies have become dependent, and for which there is no green disposal method. If we can’t burn our plastic trash, if it won’t decompose in a landfill (not within a reasonable timeframe, and maybe not even then), if the result of so
- [Summer Fun!](https://niveymarts.com/summer-fun/) - Hey, hey! I know I’ve been kinda quiet of late—did ya miss me?—but I’ve been pretty busy over the last couple of months, and the summer shows no sign of slowing down. Here’s what’s up: I’ve signed up for a Blurb Blitz blog tour (say THAT three times fast) with Goddess Fish Promotions. The tour
- [Author Interview!](https://niveymarts.com/author-interview/) - Guess what??? I've been featured in an author interview by Vicky Peplow over on her website, VAP Books. These are always fun, and Vicky asks some great questions. Check out the interview here, and don't forget to scroll around and see the other author interviews featured there, as well as Vicky's Design and Editing services, and Vicky's
- [9 Tips for Greening Your Winter](https://niveymarts.com/9-tips-for-greening-your-winter/) - The shift from outdoor activities to indoor ones can reduce our awareness of the impact we have on the environment around us. Out of sight, out of mind, so to speak. The fact is that many of our actions during the winter months can contribute to climate issues, whether large or small scale. Here are
- [15 Things You Can Do to Live a Low-Waste Lifestyle](https://niveymarts.com/15-things-you-can-do-to-live-a-low-waste-lifestyle/) - Last time, we talked about circularity, which is one way you can reduce your personal or family impact on the environment. But there are many products we use on a daily or weekly basis that can’t be cycled back into the production chain so easily. The next best thing is to lower the waste produced
- [Rainforests](https://niveymarts.com/rainforests/) - Like the coral reefs we talked about last time, rainforests are one of the world’s most delicate ecosystems. Found on all the world’s continents except Antarctica, rainforests come in two forms: temperate, found in cooler climes, and tropical, those clustered around or near the equator between latitudes of 23.5°N and 23.5°S. The tropical Amazon, by
- [Coral Reefs](https://niveymarts.com/coral-reefs/) - A coral reef environment plays a huge role in Entheóphage, so it makes sense to touch on them here, as well as the role they play in Earth’s ecosystems and global diversity. The term “coral reef” surely conjures an image in the mind’s eye of brightly colored fish, eels, starfish, corals, sponges, anemones, and a
- [Plastics](https://niveymarts.com/entheophage-inspired-tidbits-in-the-wider-world/) - I subscribe to the Broiler Room, a newsletter from Bad Manners (https://www.badmanners.com) about "food, pop culture, and everything that makes a meal." Usually, their content is about—what else?—food. I highly recommend it, though I will warn that they use some … colorful … language. But recently their entire newsletter talked about plastics. No one yet knows
