Wesley Joseph presents Once you go Black, you might still go Back… to Google posted at EnviroHumanImpact. He says “There’s been a lot of debate concerning ways to reduce the carbon footprints of our PCs. We take a “Mythbusters” approach to finding out if you really can save energy by using websites with black backgrounds. We also look at some other ways to save energy and money while using your computer.”
Louise Manning presents How sustainable is the global food supply model? posted at The Human Imprint. Louise discusses the long term viability of the global food chain, specifically looking at the poultry supply chain model which has been under growing pressure lately due to rising grain costs. Check out her extensive article and paper on the topic.
Ena Clewes presents Dealing With Garden Pests the Organic Way posted at Organic Gardening. Ena has a great article on organic gardening. She details ways to lower your consumption (read: use) of insect repellants and eliminate harsh insecticides. Probably best of all, she gives multiple recipes for making your own home-made bug sprays (to kill bugs) and pest repellents (for keeping them away in the first place).
AdmirableIndia.com presents Lalbagh Botanical Garden, Bangalore: Part 1: Ancient Watch Tower and Organic Cultivation posted at AdmirableIndia.com. Finally, this is a neat little article with pictures of a Botanical garden in India that is partially dedicated to organic cultivation!
