Whatever Happened to the Lunch Box?
No commentsKaren Youso is the Home and Garden columnist over at the St. Paul Star Tribune, and she has a thing or two to say about plastic bags — specifically, their inferiority when it comes to packing a lunch.

Halloween Costumes to Make Your Friends Green With Envy
No commentsThere are a lot of articles on the internet right now regarding Halloween costumes — not surprising, really, considering it’s just a few short days away — but one that really caught my interest was from the blog EarthFirst.

No commentsSorry, Michael Douglas. You were close, but no cigar. It’s not greed that’s good, it’s GREEN — as in, the green movement that’s so all-the-rage these days. Why are so many college papers working the environmentalism beat lately? Not entirely sure, perhaps they’re just simply the ones most committed to making a change. Regardless, it’s […]
Happy Anniversary, Edmonton!
No commentsOkay, not that kind of anniversary exactly, but you do have to give the city of Edmonton some major congratulations. They were doing it before it was even cool. Doing what, you ask?
