I know it might seem a little earlier to talk about Christmas, but I just loved this funny card that I needed to share it with everyone. It is so cute when people take the green message from the real world and put it into something cute and seasonal like this card. I think this is my holiday card for sure. Already found it!
Everyone needs to spend at least a little amount of time in the sun otherwise rickketts will be your outcome! There is a new study that is showing kids are spending too much time inside playing video games and not enough time running around outside getting exposure to fresh air and sun. I think this is terrible because it teaches kids that staying inside all day is OK. We need to show kids the parks and gardens of the world to show them that their is beauty beyond the television. I am sure that most kids won't get ricketts but it is still something to think about. Drink your milk and get some sun!
Amazing that a cartoon done over 10 years ago applies EXACTLY to what we are going through right now. And it's still funny!
If you want an amazingly in depth look at the state of water in the US, look no further than the New York TImes' wonderful report entitled "Toxic Waters." This report is scary, sad and wholly truthful about what many of us already knew about the state of water in the United States. The sad part is that no one seems to care about it until now. I hope that this article starts us on the trail for real change. Read this article it's awesome.
If I were a betting man (and had extra cash) I would be getting some money ready to invest in the SF Algae company Solazyme. This little company is turning Algae into fuels with big contracts for the Air Force and Navy. If they hit it right with their magic Aglae formula and process then you are sure to see Solzyme pumps next to unleaded in the coming future.
There is no better way to celebrate recycling than with a custom binder. I really like this idea because it allows you to keep everything organized and in one place. Plus it has trees on it and I really like trees ;)
I gotta admit that this is a really cool invention, the bladeless fan. it will probably save a bunch of injuries form happening and maybe it uses a lot less energy. Not to mention it just looks cool! Check out the video below to understand about the latest invention from this British Genius.
I am all for recycling and reusing in this world, but it must be done in a safe manner that doesn't do more damage to the environment than just letting it sit in a landfill. Unfortunately the pictures I have posted below show just how band disposing of something in an unsafe manner can be for the world. I mean just the thought of all those heavy metals seeping back into the water just gives me the chills and makes me worry about the planet we are leaving for the future.
I don't read Dilbert much anymore but I did happen to see this one and thought it was so good I needed to repost it. This has to be one of the best uses of twitter in a long time...
One thing that people often forget is that donating to charities and Goodwill is a form of recycling. Instead of throwing out old DVDs and VHS tapes, why not give them to your library? Don't throw away that winter coat that's too small, instead give it to Goodwill to help support those that need a coat. The great thing about donating is you can give away things and feel good that it is going to help people that need it the most. I love to donate clothes all the time so much so that I might have too much space in my wardrobe now!
