Walletmouth

I've always been interested in the social, environmental, and economic consequences of the decisions we make.

Where we live, what we eat, where we shop, what we buy, how we travel ... the list is endless.  I  stumbled upon a blog which explores those sorts of decisions in a great deal of detail.  It's called Walletmouth, and the slogan at the head of the blog states:  "Your wallet is a mouth.  When you spend money you  tell the  world how you want it to be".

I've only begun exploring the blog, but it has an amazing array of resources on corporate behavior,  which seems to be the blog's main focus. 

The blog also covers more mundane consumer environmental issues.  The most recent post (as of this writing) is an article on diapers, with a description of a sort of hybrid between disposable and cloth (reusable cloth outer layer with a biodegradable disposable liner.  Not as much discarded as a disposable, not as much transportation energy consumption as a diaper service).

Overall  Walletmouth is interesting, entertaining and informative.   The blog's name and slogan is great, too.

Hi there, and thanks for the TrackBack! It's nice to know I'm being read in the city where I was born. I never lived in Atlanta for any significant amount of time, but as a kid I spent many a Christmas in Druid Hills, and I still have family in the area.

Hi, Bronwyn.

You have a great blog.

I grew up in Grant Park, and now live about three miles due south of Druid Hills in East Atlanta (just south of I-20). I think I touched on Druid Hills in a past blog entry about Joel Hurt. Olmstead's firm did the design of Druid Hills, but Hurt was the developer.

I mostly cover urban design and transportation issues on this blog, but am branching out into more general sustainability and quality of life issues. I found your blog on Typepad's featured blogs. Keep up the good work!!
