http://groovygreen.com/groove?p=954 Fundie twerp cancels a school viewing of An Inconvenient Truth, as counteracting global warming will slow the Second Coming of his saviour. I love how he manages to squeeze in his Communist paranoia, U-S-A flag waving, and Christian fundamentalism (emphasis on mental) in one brief, incredibly ignorant note: “No you will not teach or […]

Organic Gardening, Modern Homesteading, Renewable Energy, Green Homes, Do it Yourself Projects – MOTHER EARTH NEWS

http://eye.net/eye/issue/issue_02.08.07/city/news.php My initial reaction to this article was fuming anger. I’m surrounded at home and at work by lazy-bones types who find recycling too time-consuming or effort-demanding than simply tossing their crap in the trash.

Sad that my making sure the paper goes in the second bin on the right, not the first, is worthy […]

http://www.scandinavica.com/culture/nature/oil-free.htm As teefed from the wonderful UncleRoy, I have even more reason to move to Sweden. As if I didn’t love it enough already! In October 2005 the Swedish Minister for Sustainable Development, Ms Mona Sahlin, announced that Sweden aims to become the world%u2019s first oil-free country by 2020.

As much as recycling helps the planet (so boooo to those who can’t be bothered to do it!) this list offers tips on a friendlier way to shop, in order to eliminate some of the need for recycling at all.

EcoGeek – Brains for the Earth
http://www.ecogeek.org/ I came for the Superman joke, I stayed for the fantastic array of cool products and eco-friendly attitude. Think “CoolHunting” with less of the “me me me” hipsterism and more “us us us” proactivity.
