David and Deidre Patterson are doing all they can to save this endangered bird in western Australia. The natural habit for these birds is being logged for commercial use. They go on to explain in the video the importance of the woods next to their property, Helms block, and their desire to have it made […]
I’m a huge supporter of green energy. In fact we have plans to live off grid when we build our house in the future. So when I saw this commercial on techsnap.net it immediately caught my attention. It’s very creative. I watched it more than once!

I recently discovered that Meijer stores are working with the Nature Conservancy in an effort to promote non-invasive plants for gardeners.

I was very upset to find that a local business in our area would not allow you to recycle material they are throwing away. My father in-law goes around and collects scrap metal and recycles it. He approached a local business that he saw was throwing away quite a lot of recyclable […]
I seem to be on an environmental kick lately. I suppose that is what happens when you read too many nature magazines! I read a very interesting article in the Smithsonian about illegal logging in the Amazon Rainforest. 8,800 acres a day are cut down in the Amazon. I was especially shocked […]
