Meeting Puts Spotlight on Gassy Animals

December 4, 2008

187 countries are getting together in Poland to discuss what will replace the Kyoto Protocol which is set to expire in 2012. Farm emissions, particularly from giant factory farms, will be one of the big issues on the table. The UN has released figures that point to agriculture, along with transportation, as being among the most “problematic” sectors related to global warming.

Farm animals have always been, as this NYT piece calls them, “living smokestacks”. But as the global consumpti…

Organic Chickens are fed Melamine

December 3, 2008

The melamine scare seems to be working its way into another food group and just considering you eat only organic food does not prepare you safe. Organic Chicken farmers in France have discovered that the soy feed eaten by their flocks has been tainted with melamine.

300 tons of soy meal imported from China tested 50 times higher than the maximum limit of acceptable melamine. considering of that, it is plausible to think that organic meat is contaminated with melamine as well and anyone…

Mission Playground

December 3, 2008

When a company states right off the bat, “The earth is our playground; our mission is to preserve it,” you know they’re on to something. I like types that skip the talk about how luxurious and exclusive their gorgeous designer organic clothes are, and get right to what’s urgent — living sustainably.

Mission Playground is a clothing company that’s hit the nail on the head with their mission statement. Not only that, but their garments are cute and look very high quality.When a company …

Bush Administration Makes Final Push to Build capability Plants Near Wildlife Areas

November 30, 2008

That’s just one of the federal regulations that the Bush Administration is in the process of enacting before the end of the year.

The cipher of Federal Regulations is published in the Federal Register and each rule has the capability of a law, but Congressional approval is unnecessary. Every president since George Washington has made last ditch efforts to insert their interests into the coming presidency. It’s much more difficult to undo these rules than it is to do them. Here are a fe…

Wooden keycards for all the Democrats

August 20, 2008

Hotels have lengthy been a culprit in consumption. It turns out that the great lengths they were going to for their guests was actually quite wasteful. GASP. I know.

If they weren’t wasting energy via freezing rooms or water due to countless loads of laundry they were filling landfills with plastic keycards. Wait. What? How big of a footprint could those thin plastic keycards be leaving? How about 1,300 tons (TONS!) per year? That may not bigfootesque in the relative picture but it is sti…
