Moon sustainability? Seriously? Are we not having enough fun destroying one planet that we have to start CRASHING into something else?
An Atlas V rocket is on a collision course with the moon, and when it hits early Friday morning, the blast will kick up a miles-high plume of debris visible [...]
There are plenty of counter arguments about longer term trends that might point to a reversal of such trends, but if that is what we really believed, then why would the Bush Administration classify these images?
Satellite images of polar ice sheets taken in July 2006 and July 2007 showing the [...]
Devastatingly beautiful capture.

So succinct… their product description [below] is excellent.

My newsletter from The Oregonian’s Home and Garden tips reminded me of the need to wean myself from the convenience of my dryer!
They included some great tips, here are my faves:
• Squeamish about neighbors seeing your underwear? Hide it inside the pillow cases. Or, string multiple, parallel clotheslines, and hide it between [...]
I know the price tag is quite ridiculous, but here are the reasons why I think I need this:
No more litter crumblies all over the floor!! Reusable liner… save the planet and all that stuff. No more stockpiling plastic bags… Its cute! The “Rooftop” entry lid allows for a fully enclosed box design, [...]
“A button and a key… simple, everyday objects that can tell a fascinating story about an ordinary life. These two “found” object came from the same estate. I like to think of them as representations of the elderly couple who owned them. She, gently weathered by the years, but still glowing sweetly as if lit [...]
I heard about these seed balls on NPR this morning, and did a little google research. They seem like a fantastic way to spread flowers, cheer and greenery around you!
“Seed balls are a method for distributing seeds by encasing them in a mixture of clay and soil humus. Some native North American tribes [...]
The truth about Food really excited me. Maybe because I love food so much, but just learning so many things about farming practices, Government subsidies and the general way that the food industry machine has synthesized and glossed over our primary source of nutrition and wellness is mystifying!
In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the [...]
circa 2024 of course.
due to the Urban Growth Boundary in Portland, there are acreages within pleasant 20 minute commute on the Tri-Met Max Line (bike racks included of course). Berry picking, goats, chickens, mud, slugs, winter squash. Oh all the fun things you can do. With a hobbit house.

if only we could remember to bring our pile of reusable shopping bags into the store WITH us.
i feel so horrible accepting the plastic bags, but the kitty poop is unending! and the little muffin won’t use the eco-friendly pine stuff. i might try to acclimate her again when we get a house and [...]
its hard to believe there are organizations out there, like the Heritage Foundation who are lobbying and fundraising to stop the “hoax” of the “overblown environmental crisis”
Maybe they need a pretty little video to explain it in simpler terms. Of course, their propaganda uses large enough words, so you would think they could [...]

The things you can do with rolls of tape, Styrofoam cups, paper plates, napkins…
Lovely work. Kind of reminds me of tripe though!
I have love the beef noodle bowls that are tucked away in perfectly hidden little vietnamese joints (i.e. not the glossy Pho Van [...]

call me a radical hippie liberalist, but truth is inescapable.
makes me want to go make my own treehouse off the grid.
well this makes me much more inclined towards those cute VWs all my friends zip around in these days.
My mom (the Master Naturalist) attended a lecture educating interested parties in rainwater collection on a household scale. its extremely simple. cut a hole in a garbage can lid, attach a screen to filter [...]

There is a flower Within my heart, Daisy, Daisy! Planted one day By a glancing dart, Planted by Daisy Bell! Whether she loves me Or loves me not, Sometimes it's hard to tell; Yet I am longing to share the lot - Of beautiful Daisy Bell! Daisy, Daisy, Give me your answer do! I'm half crazy, All for the love of you! It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage But you'll look sweet upon the seat Of a bicycle made for two. We will go 'tandem' As man and wife, Daisy, Daisy! 'Peddling' away Down the road of life, I and my Daisy Bell! When the road's dark We can both despise P'licemen and 'lamps' as well; There are 'bright lights’ In the dazzling eyes Of beautiful Daisy Bell! Daisy, Daisy, Give me your answer do! I'm half crazy, All for the love of you! It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage But you'll look sweet upon the seat Of a bicycle made for two. I will stand by you In 'weal' or woe, ["weal" means prosperity] Daisy, Daisy! You'll be the bell(e) Which I'll ring you know! Sweet little Daisy Bell! You'll take the 'lead' In each 'trip' we take, Then if I don't do well, I will permit you to Use the brake, My beautiful Daisy Bell!
