I can appreciate Walt Disney World copyrighting their park. After all, they’re largely responsible for just about every inch of it, from the sculpted bushes to human-engineered lakes and waterways. Obviously, it’s well established that biotech companies currently have every right to own and patent new forms of life. But when I was passing through… Read More…

With all the talk of New Year Resolutions, many involving losing a few pounds (and inches off our waistlines), perhaps one approach to the holidays is to get off the couch (and away from the TV).

The 5-gallon reservoir in my dehumidifier fills up daily in the summer (I’m in humid St Louis, MO). Then, gravity lends a hand. I pour the 5 gallons into the toilet to flush the “yellow”… Read More…

Scroll down to access your free, earth- friendly weed killer. Yep, it’s your hands. I am arming you with your own hands. The thumb and index finger can… Read More…

Most teenagers are busy texting their friends or playing video games. Not Angela Primbas. This teen is taking matters into her own hands when it comes to pollution. She and two friends of hers have formed Save Our Streams (S.O.S.), and new group dedicated to stopping the pollution of their backyard streams and the entire… Read More…

I once called Blue Planet Run a “must read“, and it is (so read it!). However, GOOD’s latest water issue* is easier to take with you, covers some new topics, and well, some people just prefer magazines.
