Endangered Species Condoms

An environmental group based in Arizona has taken to protecting species in a different manner.  The Center for Biological Diversity in Tuscon will be distributing 100,000 free condoms starting on Valentine's to promote awareness concerning endangered species.  The groups says the promotion is meant to convey to people that human overpopulation is the cause of much of what is killing off species. Animals are lacking land, water, and other resources directly due ...

Global Warming Science

Those that dispute and deny global warming will look to anything to justify their stubborn beliefs. One of their most common defences is pointing to the current weather happening in the world.  The anti-climate change group claims that the science is as simple as looking outside--it's winter, and it's cold.  This argument is all too common yet not at all surprising by a group that ignores the scientific method and research. Looking through such a narrow scope and small sampling is not only impractical ...

Eco Summer Camps

Summer camp is an institution of childhood for me and many others. We have fond (or perhaps not so fond) memories of being dropped off at a strange place with kids we don’t know, sleeping on rough bunks and having a blast. But the choice comes down many times to theme-camps, many of which are religiously affiliated. Why not, when sending your child off to camp, have them learn about the environment they’re living in? Eco-themed camps a great way to acclimate and introduce your kids to earth-friendly living while getting ...

The College Greening: Dining Friendly

In my first two editions of the College Greening I covered some of the ways colleges are cutting down on energy costs and heading to the eco-friendly side of life. I have already addressed the novelty of paper-less papers and new “Green” campus buildings, now I’m moving on to one of the most important buildings on campus- the dining hall.

'Green Porno' Shows Bugs in a New Light

If I was a porno, I would be green.

Have you seen this? Isabella Rossellini, dressed as a bug, describing and reenacting the lives and sexual habits of insects. Sounds gross, dirty, and indecent, but somehow, it’s very endearing. The collection of shorts includes Rossellini adorning a variety of insect outfits, from masochistic snails to unfortunate male honeybees to very sneaky spiders. While the show is designed for educational purposes, it is most definitely adult. I caught it around ...
