Once-a-year Garbage Disposal By: Mind Rich | - It has been said, perhaps rightfully so, that concurrent with the Information Age is Garb-age.

Bp Oil Spill Response: Incompetency Reigns Supreme By: Thomas Palmieri | - With recent deep sea video clearly showing an open well head gushing thousands of gallons of oil a day into the Gulf of Mexico, it also clearly shows the efforts of BP's oil spill response team to be incompetent at best.
The oil spill clean up and capping of the mile deep well head being overseen by the EPA, Washington Politicians and BP execs, would be laughable if not for the environmental impact on our oceans, wildlife, and economy.
Bp Oil Spill, Are You Kidding Me? Put A Plug In It Already! By: Thomas Palmieri | - BP's oil spill in the Gulf is out of control, and after viewing the new digital CNN video of the recently cut well cap, it's obvious to a plumber, and most blue collar tradesmen, their engineers are also miserably incapable of even slowing the oil spilling from the well, let alone stop the flow.

Green Hvac Guide By: Kin Law | - Ever since mankind began to industrialize, environmentalism has been a constant dilemma. From the coal-stained streets of London to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, we have always traded the destruction of one existing circumstance for our personal comfort and survival. The question has always been the same: how can we have our cake and recycle it too?
In the case of heating and cooling our homes, human beings have actually begun to be relatively successful. Of course, every HVAC s ... Tags:cooling, destruction, development, efficiency, energy
Plastic Or Wood Pallets - Which Is Greener? Debunking The Environmental Myth Of Plastic Pallets By: Michael Smith | - For all the green rhetoric being tossed around today by the manufacturers of plastic pallets about their sustainability and recyclable nature, the facts are still the facts. Wooden pallets made from the unusable trims of the lumbering process are greener, cleaner and more environmentally friendly by any measure.
How Safe Is Your Water Bottle? By: Joseph Bill | - In 2006, a research study described something quite extraordinary. A third of male fish in English rivers were in the process of changing sex, from male to female. Such reproductive anomalies are not just limited to fish.
In humans, studies show that girls are hitting puberty earlier than ever, and that male infertility is on the rise. Men now have a greater range of reproductive abnormalities, from undescended testes to mutated sperm.
