Simplify, Live With Less

Consider this: Every day this month, get rid of one thing each day. Not having a lot of “things” is crutial to preserving resources, and removing the extraneous just makes life better.

Plasma TVs Not As Green As You Think

Did you know that plasma-screen high-definition TVs can use nearly twice as much energy as their LCD screen counterparts, and more than three times as much as the standard models?  TVs account for 4 percent of our energy use nationally.  With plasma screens, that could reach 8 percent or more before the decade is out.

Eco Terminology

What:  Global Warming.

Question:  Is global warming a real concern?

Facts:   The rate of warming is increasing. The 20th century’s last two decades were the hottest in 400 years and possibly the warmest for several millennia, according to a number of climate studies.  And the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that 11 of the past 12 years are among the dozen warmest since 1850. 

What Will Happen?: 

• Strong hurricanes, droughts, heat waves, wildfires, and other natural disasters may become commonplace in many parts of the world. The growth of deserts may also cause food shortages in many places.

• Sea level could rise between 7 and 23 inches (18 to 59 centimeters) by century’s end, the IPCC’s February 2007 report projects. Rises of just 4 inches (10 centimeters) could flood many South Seas islands and swamp large parts of Southeast Asia.

• Some hundred million people live within 3 feet (1 meter) of mean sea level, and much of the world’s population is concentrated in vulnerable coastal cities. In the U.S., Louisiana and Florida are especially at risk.

Organic Cotton

cotton-robe.jpgTerminology:  Organic Cotton (and why we should use it.)  Organically grown cotton is not treated with pesticides, herbicides, or petroleum based fertilizers, nor does it use genetically engineered seed.  In the United States, Egypt, India, and other countries, farmers are raising cotton organically, without the use of costly, often ineffective and dangerous chemicals.Look at labels and buy organic when given the option.   Tres eco-chic!
