Making your life greener - one bite at a time.

Step by step we are becoming greener. We are making an effort to run more eco-friendly homes, while offices, companies and other places of business, like the Hearst Tower in New York City, use energy-conserving appliances, air conditioning, and heating units.

Happily, schools are the next institution to turn green. Since 2000, nearly 100 public and private schools have been certified as eco-friendly by the U.S. Green Building Council, according to an article in USA Today.

ScienceDaily (July 8, 2008) — Four weeks since the shocking incident that led to the death of 26 dolphins near Falmouth, research sheds new light on the extent of the problems facing Cornwall's marine mammals. 

The frequency of these mammals, collectively known as cetaceans, found stranded on beaches in Cornwall has increased with a sharp rise in the last eight years. After analysing nearly 100 years of data, the researchers believe this could, in part, be due to more intensive fishing.
