  • Blog Action Day: Poverty Can Mean No Healthcare

    Poverty may be defined in many ways. Improper access to medical care because of conflict or other violence exists in many countries. Lack of clean drinking water is also another factor in many illnesses around the world. And thousands face malnutrition due to poverty. • In Iraq, lots of doctors…

  • TV Ad That ABC Refused to Air

    Please take a look at the ad below from wecansolveit.org. Wondering why ABC refused to air it recently? Me too! ABC says that they have a problem with the Capitol building image in the ad. This sounds like censorship. Other networks, including CBS and CNN, aired the ad. Do you…

  • What’s so gross about that trash?

    Most people at my large apartment complex drive their trash to the compactor. But they don’t trunk it. Nope. Something about their trash is so unappealing, they must put it on the car hood. And then, well, as you can imagine, it’s a challenge for them to maneuver over 76…

  • Used Cardboard Boxes

    I mentioned, uh complained, early on here about how my apartments don’t offer recycling bins because my city won’t service apartment complexes. So, I drive my recycling a couple of miles away. It’s not too bad, I suppose. But, recently the city moved the cardboard box drop-off to an obscure…

  • Sarah Palin is a Dodo

  • PETA Likes Human Milk Better

    It’s strange. I don’t think I’d eat ice cream made using human breast milk, but that’s exactly what PETA proposed to Ben & Jerry’s. I love animals. I do. But PETA is just a little too out there for me. A lot too out there for me. Read more about…

  • It’s only eco if you need it.

    It’s wonderful so many retail stores are now offering their own versions of eco bags. Or is it? You can find shopping bags almost everywhere now, from Fossil to Macy’s. I know at least one person who collects shopping totes. If someone buys a bag because it’s cute and never…

  • Green Commercial Kitchen Giveaway

    Food Service Warehouse (FSW) — a Colorado company started by a group of environmentalists — is giving away a green commercial kitchen worth more than $40,000! FSW created a leading certification program to help commercial kitchens deal with the expense and complexities of going green. The program features a free…

  • Offshore Wind Ugly? I think not.

    It just so happens that the first beach I ever visited is taking its first steps toward offshore wind-driven turbines. That beach is Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. The project is scheduled to be completed by 2012, but some opponents think it might make the shoreline ugly. I disagree. Isn’t it…
