Got milk? … and pus, blood, shit and chemicals?

I personally find milk creepy. I guess it’s the texture and the source that does it. Apparently I am not the suck my beverage out of an animal type of guy. That’s why I use rice milk on my Peanut Butter Panda Puffs. Anyways, today’s point is very simple: milk sucks. That is the obvious [...]

Green your parking!

I am not one of the lucky few who owns a parking lot. Or even a driveway. Anyways, if I did own a parking lot or driveway I would replace the solid ashphalt mass with permeable pavers. They provide the same structural parking good times, but without the messed up water tables and heat island [...]

Ett klick för skogen

If you’re like me you have a web browsing morning routine. You have a section of your bookmarks that you click through each morning. For me it’s some comics, some blogs and a couple news sites. However, mixed in there I have “A click for the forest.” Clicking the button on the site once per [...]

Knowing is half the battle: Cellulosic ethanol

Every day now it seems that the less than informed masses continue their slow bovine shuffle towards the trend of corn ethanol. Of course it’s a white house win-win because it keeps on burning oil just as much as ever, if not more, and it makes the lobbyists happy. However, it’s important to remember that [...]

How I spent my hard earned tax dollars. (volume 1)

The US Army now admits that it secretly dumped 64 million pounds of nerve and mustard agents into the sea, along with 400,000 chemical-filled bombs, land mines and rockets and more than 500 tons of radioactive waste - either tossed overboard or packed into the holds of scuttled vessels. These weapons of mass destruction virtually [...]

Petition time: USA trying to hinder climate progress at G8+5 summit

I’m never sure whether I like or dislike petition sites. They seem useless and fairly annoying and I have yet to hear the phrase, “We would have got away with this travesty too if it wasn’t for those meddling kids and their internet petition…” However, if the petition is easy and I agree with the [...]

Climate change deniers win

I hereby officially announce that those denying climate change, global warming or whatever it’s called this week, win. You are right, best and smartest. Good one. Climate change debates are a moot point, and honestly I couldn’t care less who thinks they are right anymore. It actually doesn’t matter one bit.
Please allow me a chance [...]

A sweepstake that stays crunchy and green in milk

This morning while slaving over a hot cereal bowl to prepare my Peanut Butter Panda Puffs, I noticed that my soy milk had a green cap. Apparently it is a green cap for green energy. Not directly seeing how the cap color was energy I read the box. It seems that Silk soy milk has [...]

What is up with Earth Day?

I’m having one hell of a time finding any decent Earth Day events and the lackluster earthday.org site is no help at all. I’m looking for an event in London as I’ll still be on the road that weekend, but as of yet have found sweet nothing. If anyone knows a good Earth Day event [...]
