Massachusetts Bakery Distributes Wheat Berries for Customers to Grow in Their Ya…: May 8, 6:17am 2 reviews agriculture
http://www.groovygreen.com/groove?p=3018; From the page: "Probably the coolest story in the "local food" movement that I've heard yet. A bakery in Massachusetts has started to distribute wheat berries (seeds) to customers to plant 100 sq. ft. plots of wheat in their yards. They plan a hand-scythed harvest in the summer. I think that this is a great idea, and it will be interesting to see how productive the 10 x 10 plots of ā€oefront yardā€¯ wheat are."

As people are starting to get worried about the future of our food sources, farmers in Brazil are getting excited about the prospect of making money by cutting down trees in the rainforest, burning the land and making way for pasture and crops."

Do We Have a Right to Quick and Easy Flights to Anywhere in the World? | EarthFi…: May 7, 2:20pm 1 review environment
http://earthfirst.com/do-we-have-a-right-to-quick-and-easy-flights-to-anywher...; From the page: "In the last century, we've gotten used to a lot of conveniences. Travel is now extremely easy compared to what it used to be; the long, dusty journeys people used to take just to get a short distance are a nearly forgotten memory. We expect to be easily and conveniently able to get wherever we want, NOW.

Thatā€s why recent news about airline woes and how it could cost us has people worried about the future of transportation."

Sting's Rainforest Charity Rated One Of New York's City's Worst …: May 7, 2:09pm 2 reviews environment
http://www.ecorazzi.com/2008/05/07/stings-rainforest-charity-rated-one-of-new...; From the page: "According to the New York Post, the Rainforest Foundation has been rated one of the worst charities in New York City. The slap comes from Charity Navigator, a watchdog that rates 5,000 charities nationally based on management and fund-raising-to-giving ratios. Sting's org has been given a ā€oe0ā€³ the last four years because they've doled out less than half -- 41% -- of their donations to tree initiatives."

Paper Company Finds that Green Makes Good Business Sense | EarthFirst: May 7, 2:01pm 2 reviews environment
http://earthfirst.com/paper-company-finds-that-green-makes-good-business-sense/; From the page: "Grays Harbor Paper went under in 1992, and not just jobs were lost ā€" as families made hard choices and were forced to move, some committed suicide. 600 people in the nearby rural cities of Hoquiam and Aberdeen lost their jobs. Things were bleak overall, and Bill Quigg had quite a task in front of him when he bought the company in 1993.

Thatā€s why he decided to make a big change: the traditional paper industry wasnā€t working in these small logging towns, partially because of the protected status of the endangered spotted owl, which calls the forests in this area of Washington state home. Where workers once cursed the owl for putting them out of work, Quigg saw a solution: using 100 percent recycled paper instead of cutting down trees. And, he didnā€t stop there ā€" the plant is now entirely powered by biomass fuel derived from logging waste."

Indiana Jones is back, and heā€™s going old school - Movies- msnbc.com: May 7, 1:38pm 2 reviews movies
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24505443/; From the page: "for the first time in years.

Her caustic greeting to the archaeologist-adventurer in 1981's "Raiders of the Lost Ark": "Indiana Jones. I always knew someday you'd come walking back through my door."

It's been 19 years since Indy literally rode off into the sunset in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," but like Marion, could anyone doubt that the world's most famous tomb raider would come back into our lives one day?"

How To: Have a Heart Attack Instantly - Worst Cook Ever: May 7, 1:04pm 1 review cooking
http://worstcookever.com/?p=262; From the page: "Tara sent a long a link for Ten Foods You'll Find, Eat, and Regret at the State Fair and I'm feeling angry, nauseous, disgusted and somewhat turned on. It's like walking in on an enraptured orgy of one legged midgets covered in bacon grease pleasuring one another - you're horrified and somewhat curious all at once. Honestly, what kind of person takes home a bust of butter shaped like a woman's head? Really, what are you going to do with that? Something tells me it's not going in the fridge, but rather under your bed, and that my friends, is a poor investment."

Climate change threatens koalas - Climate Change- msnbc.com: May 7, 7:33am 1 review environment
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24500063/; From the page: "Koalas are threatened by the rising level of carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere because it saps nutrients from the eucalyptus leaves they feed on, a researcher said Wednesday.

Ian Hume, emeritus professor of biology at Sydney University, said he and his researchers also found that the amount of toxicity in the leaves of eucalyptus saplings rose when the level of carbon dioxide within a greenhouse was increased.

Hume presented his research on the effects of carbon dioxide on eucalyptus leaves to the Australian Academy of Science in Canberra on Wednesday."
