 (1 review) agriculture, suburban, urban, farming, neighborhoods http://www.mnn.com/the-home/building-ren... - From the page: "I got my first taste of subdivision living in the 1982 film Poltergeist. Needless to say, things didnâ€t work out too well for the residents of the Simi Valley, California, community where the film took place.
Haunted Indian burial grounds obviously havenâ€t halted the building of planned communities since Poltergeist entered the collective cultural consciousness. Perhaps somewhat novel in the early '80s, modern tract subdivisions, or â€oecommunities,” are now everywhere. If you havenâ€t lived in or are currently living in one, you probably know someone who does. At the very least, youâ€ve driven through or by one. "

- Vacation in an Earth Ship, part 1 | MNN - Mother Nature Network

- NOTE: David Quilty has a renowned green blog called the Good Human and is my guest blogger for the day. This story is in 2 parts.
Last year before we moved to Taos, NM full-time, we stayed at an earthship for a vacation. Earthships are the brainchild of Michael Reynolds, who started a community of them out here on the mesa. They are 100% off the grid, collect their own water, and use passive solar heating and cooling in order to keep residents comfortable. Well, I talked to the homeowner of the one we stayed in so that I could post pictures and talk about our experience, so let's take a look at our stay in the HelioHouse earthship, about 15 minutes from Taos Plaza.

- Decomposting the Dead | New Hampshire Public Radio | Word of Mouth
- Jul 3, 10:37am (1 review) environment, death, composting, burial http://www.nhpr.org/node/25846
- Over the past several years, "green" cemeteries have been popping up in Canada, the United Kingdom and the U.S...even here in New Hampshire.
A Swedish company is taking the concept one step further. Promessa Organic AB has developed a technique for composting bodies completely. It involves freezing the corpse with liquid nitrogen until it becomes brittle, then vibrating the cadaver until it breaks down into a fine powder. After a few more steps, family members receive a box of remains that will biodegrade in a shallow grave within twelve months.

- From the page: "The first thing I noticed was that although we were just 20 miles south of where I started, the temperature was a good 15 degrees hotter.
The smells of tar and sulfur permeated the air. After a while, my eyes started to burn and itch.
I wasnâ€t in Nigeria or Iraq or Venezuela. My guide, Jesus Torres, otherwise known as JT, had taken me to Wilmington, Calif., in Los Angeles County, just 20 miles south of the L.A. beach town where I live. "

- PETA Wants Rights To Jackson's Song To Help Save Rodents // Archives...
- Jul 3, 6:57am (2 reviews) activism, music, michael-jackson, animals, peta http://www.ecorazzi.com/2009/07/02/peta-...
- From the page: "I had absolutely no idea that Michael Jacksonâ€s 1972 hit song â€oeBen” was about a boy and his pet rat. PETA, however, is always on top of these things â€" and in light of current events â€" is seeking rights to the song to use in raising attention on the plight of rodents used in laboratory experiments.
â€oeMichael Jacksonâ€s hit has always been a moving testament to the power of empathy for animals,” Tracy Reiman, executive vice president of PETA, said in a statement released on Tuesday. â€oeIf more people could be inspired by his song to stop supporting the cruel and ineffective animal-testing industry, it would be a fitting and enduring tribute to this talented performer,” she added.
