I'd like to use this as an opportunity to briefly
introduce myself. My name is Justin Sedor, and
I'm a senior at Piedmont High. I am no stranger
to EarthTeam and the Green, and I'm really looking
forward to serving as your new Dr. Green this
year! So send in those questions or comments,
I'd love to hear from you.
I'd like to wish all our readers a very happy Earth Day '08 the best way I know how--with a rather beautiful video, courtesy of the BBC:
I also was interested to see what you all had to say about Earth Day this year. Did it seem bigger than usual? More effective? Sound off in the comments. Read More...
The newest easy conservation tip from Green Thing? Take shorter showers. This is a pretty easy one to figure out: shorter showers mean less water goes down the drain, and less CO2 is released when heating large amounts of water. Here's a handy little video "manual" for anyone who feels they need it:
And coming soon: a short piece on "Green" products and companies. Stay tuned.Read More...
March's Green Thing isn't something that immediately comes to mind when thinking of environmental conservation (at least for me), but it's a great idea--if you can handle it, that is. Green Thing is asking its members to make their meat "rarer" (get it? It's funny), in an effort to lessen the environmental impact (CO2 emissions, fossil fuel consumption, etc) of the world's meat industry. It's a great idea, and I'm definitely going to give it a shot; the planet's more important than my weekly In-N-Out habit!
