More Hip Than Hippie #213 - Favorite Things

Greenfeet is on the leading edge of providing eco-friendly products to their loyal customers.

After exhaustive research, Val and the crew at Greenfeet believe they've found the most exciting new innovations coming to the green marketplace. Be among the first to experience these goods with an exclusive preview on today's show! Also, Dori celebrates a milestone and Val reveals a way to get free donuts.

Beer and Chocolate:

Beer: Sasquatch invades the More Hip studio! Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine Style Ale is a fresh flavorful brew for those occasions that call for 9.6% alcohol. That's why Val and her hubby call it "night-night juice".

Chocolate: Another little piece of Italy from listener Trystan's trip abroad. Domori Single Origins E Blend Dark Chocolate is a creamy delight. Molto bene!

  • Solar Powered Microwave saves money and energy. Just 15 minutes in the sun produces a full 30 seconds of cook time!

  • Electric Pet Cruiser sends Fluffy and Fido into the great outdoors so you can have some peace and quiet! Charges in any home outlet.
  • PEU Sunless Tanner gives you that nitrogen-rich glow that could only come from elephant poo. Paint it on head-to-toe, scrape it off 8 hours later for a smooth brown patina and natural scent that is straight out of Africa.
  • Belly Button DIY Lint Kit lets you fashion fabulous crafts using an abudant renewable material. Includes tools and guidebook for harvesting lint from unsuspecting middle-aged male sources.
Listener E-mails
