"But Getting Coal is What We Do"
Watch this ViceTV series on how mountaintops are removed to get to coal in West Virginia (instead of mining it underground, they now just rip the tops off gorgeous mountains, because it’s faster, apparently).

Energy Vampires
We all know someone in our lives who sucks the energy out of us….well this post is not about those people but the appliances that do the same thing. Maybe you have already heard about how much power all those TVs, PCs, and ACs use on ‘standby’ mode (that’s when…
G Living: Contemporary Green Lifestyle Network
The first thing I said when I went to the G Living Network site was, “WOW, that Brendan Brazier character is hot.” C’mon girls, we’re just coming off the World Cup where all men are created equal…to Adonis. Green Living seems to be pumping out a multi-media network, which includes…
