In the service of making people better consumers — for their personal good and the greater one — I research and cull products that are high in both quality and integrity. Then I edit them down and recommend the best among them to my readers, whom I like to think of as a diaspora of shopping do-gooders. Click below to read my eco-motivated recommendations for:
Living gifts (also: Gifts that give twice and yet another eco-gift guide)
Tours and cruises (I wrote this L.A. Times column twice a month for years. For more of my recommendations for products from the tourism industry, click here.)
I also write extensively about food products, including:
Wine (relatedly, my book about Napa and Sonoma rates hundreds of wineries.)
Liquor (sensing a theme?)
