From Guest Blogger Adam Groff: Which Groups Use Social Media Best to Promote Green?
When groups, organizations, and businesses use social media to promote green initiatives, they’re spreading eco-friendliness to a massive audience.
And, going green via social media is a great way for organizations to get people involved in environmentally conscious practices and share information concerning the health of the planet.
With eco-friendly social networking in mind, here are just a few green organizations and groups using social media to their advantage: (more…)
A changing body shape may be cause for celebration or concern, but either way your current wardrobe needn’t be the source of frustration. If you’ve discovered you no longer fit into your favourite frocks or much-loved jeans, think about doing your bit for the environment and recycling them for further use! If you’re new to recycling your clothes, here’s a look at how to go about it:

Not too surprisingly, the piece was almost uniformly optimistic: longer, healthier lives, the possibility of space migration, and the future of consumer product development aimed to render us even more comfort and convenience. There was one segment on the build-up of trash, but
