As more and more Americans grow their own fruits and vegetables, MNN digs up some dirt on this DIY food revolution.

Hey everyone! To celebrate my 4,000th post I am officially launching my second blog- Sustainable Sex

Sustainable Sex blog is meant to create a safe space to discuss and provide information about the intersections of reproductive health and the environment. This isn’t limited to environmental toxins. The connections between the two are far too immense to list in this introduction.  At Sustainable Sex, I will be discussing and posting content on both of these issues while drawing connections between them.

You can expect to see toys on all kinds of related content including but not limited to: urban gardening, sex toys, reproductive rights, alternative menstrual products, contraception, DIY, eco-feminism, as well as posts about my own journey spreading this information in my community. 

As of yet, there is only the intro post on the page. However, I have over 30+ post queued up for the next week, so don’t worry, content will be coming to you very soon!

Hooked yet? Check out Sustainable Sex here. Feel free to ask any questions you may have or submit your own content as well. Don’t forget to check out the Green Resources and Eco-Dictionary too!
