One of the people commenting on the post made this interesting observation: “Post-consumer wastes do consume mor..

Questioning Conventional Wisdom on PCW Recycled Paper I’ve been thinking about postconsumer waste lately (apparently, I have too much time on my hands). What I was wondering was this: Postconsumer waste is only one of three waste streams for unused paper.

Newspapers May Be Greener, But What About Redundancy? If you want to “green” your news reading, just go online, right Ditch that dirty, landfill-clogging paper.

Geopathic Stress what is it and how to clear it.

Obsessed with the Magic of Chickens I met several lovely chickens yesterday when I was in Oakland, and I am now quite smitten. They are truly engrossing creatures to observe; the animal’s social behavior is very complex, their vocalizations are both soothing and fascinating, to say nothing of the delicious fresh eggs they provide. More and more urban chickens are being raised in cities, as increasing numbers of people are growing their own food and trying to create a more loc..
