Surrounding your home with chemical-fighting houseplants is a wonderful thing to do for your family – not only does it rid the air of some major toxins (like I mentioned in my post), but it also makes the house much more attractive.

For years, my spouse, an anti-technology dinosaur, has been preaching the danger of cellphones. He’s always owned one though (pre-paid), rather begrudgingly, never turning it on unless absolutely necessary, much to my annoyance. Well, the other day he told me it was time I did some research on the dangers of cellphones and do a [...]
If you are really passionate about doing your own thing to help the environment, you will soon realize that there are so many ways by which you can contribute. About a month or so ago, I received a text message from my mobile phone provider. It informed me about a promo wherein you apply for [...]
So you’re not into the iPhone. You’re not alone. While I still consider it to be my dream phone, I do realize that it is not the only phone out there. In fact, Google’s Nexus One seems like it’s going to give Apple a run for its money. For those of you who prefer Android [...]

Even when Al Gore came out with his popular documentary, many people remained unconvinced that global warming is a real issue. Those people should sit up and pay attention [...]
I think its wonderful that Earth Day is getting big around the world. Just a few years ago very few people even knew what it was, let alone celebrate it, but today, as early as March, I have been getting emails from people and groups to start planning for the event. In my community, we [...]
Wherever you live in the world, it seems to be that it’s colder than usual. Ok it’s January, but I don’t ever remember it being this cold ever. Only a week ago, we were vacationing in the tropical island of Palawan to see the Subterranean River (an amazing 8 kilometers long), and I had actually [...]
