I wrote that the Canadian government has spent millions of dollars to help promote the sale of asbestos to china. Maybe that [...]

It’s a shame that one small group of idiots ruin it for so many other people.  If you don’t know what I’m talking about, Critical Mass is basically an organized group bike ride to encourage people to get out of their cars and ride their bike instead.  They do so by clogging up the city’s [...]

The weather is beginning to get unbearably hot as we delve deeper into the summer months of the year.  Actually, it was getting too hot for me weeks ago despite the fact that I live in a relatively neutral climate here in Vancouver.  The high 20s begin to turn my place a greenhouse.  Some might [...]

I know it has probably been awhile since many of you have been asked this particular question as paper bags have been more or less phased out by many major supermarkets as well as most small corner grocery and produce stores but I was asked the other day while I was out shopping at one [...]

The researcher of a 22 year long study, Cornell Professor David Pimentel, explains:
“Organic farming approaches for these crops not only use an average [...]

Winter officially starts today, and to celebrate it in a weird kind of way,  I thought why not post a story about summer. Some people love winter, the cold, snow, ice, fires, skiing etc… and other people get the blues. Do not worry, summer is right around the corner… and if you love winter, your [...]

Well, they might but they definitely aren’t the most currently effective way for us to reduce the carbon emissions that are warming the world.  Don’t get me wrong.  Hybrids are one of the most important advances in automotive history due to the fact that they are a step forward toward cleaner burning engines and toward [...]

Many concerned citizens are furious to hear that as President Bush leaves office, he is determined to sign as many “midnight regulations”as possible, many of which will affect how the USA environmental practices are implemented.
