MY BIO

Chanie Kirschner has spent most of her journalism career writing advice columns -- to the lovelorn, to aspiring fashionistas, to pregnant soon-to-be mommas. And now she's giving advice to you, the environmentally-conscious but curious. So send her your quandaries -- she’s sure to give you exactly what you’re looking for … or at least something close to what you’re looking for … or at least something.

Chanie -- who loves Reeses' peanut butter cups, a good chick flick, country music, and of course, giving advice -- lives in New Jersey with her husband Michael, and their baby Jakie. She’s also the future author of the book, Chanie’s Guide to Everything.

Chanie is part of MNN's advice team.

Can I recycle my car's old tires?

Fri, Feb 26 2010 at 8:44am EST

What is the greenest take-out container?

Fri, Feb 19 2010 at 6:51am EST

The most environmentally friendly take-out containers are the ones made from recycled paper or plastic. Or bring your own Tupperware.

Is there environmentally friendly milk?

Fri, Feb 12 2010 at 6:19am EST

The 'greenest' milk may be bought from a local dairy that has only pasture-fed cows, but the milk might not be certified organic.
