I got an email today tell me about some insanely ‘uge organic roses from Ecuador. Since they were organic and gigantic, I decided to check out. God dang they are huge. Here, just look at this picture:
The lady in the red shirt is obviously terrified, and rightfully so. Her red shirt, meant as a sign of solidarity with the red roses, has only provoked them. These are probably her last moments alive; the roses will soon be feeding.

It seems this website is just turning into a list of different ways to get free tea. Anyhoo, here is the latest and greatest way to get yo’self some organic green tea so you can live the high life.
Last spring, two of my friends went to work building a bicycle generator. They slaved away on it for literally a couple days, but eventually it was ready to be tested. Me and Tiff stopped by for this special occasion; Thanh and Billy had hooked up the bike generator to a lamp. All we needed was a volunteer to ride the electrical monstrosity. After a moment of trepidation, I bravely stepped forward to offer my bike pedaling services, and as night fell in the thriving metropolis of Raleigh, I began pedaling…
Amazingly, it did not explode in a deadly shower of sparks. It worked. We had invented… ELECTRICITY. As that realization hit us, Captain Planet flew into the room, and everybody high-fived. It was awesome.Update:WRAL is going to put this on the news. The bad news is that we have to put the bike generator back together, as it’s been through some mess since last May.
Wow. These people in San Francisco built an entire house using nothing but trash. They got all their material from junk yards or scrap yards, and ended up spending less than $3,000 on the whole house! Take a look at the video, it’s pretty impressive (and cool). It makes you think about all the stuff that we are constantly throwing away instead of finding a way to reuse.
Be sure to check out their site, especially their page on green building. All in all, I’m thinking these people are some eco-heroes.
Here in North Carolina we’re in the midst of a good ol’ drought. As my backyard slowly turns into desert, I wonder if there’s a way to clean my car without using water.
Well now there is. It’s called Dri Wash n’ Guard. Apparently, you don’t need to use water with it, which means:
You’re saving water (and money)
You’re avoiding washing all the oil, dirt, and soap into the environment.
But how well does it really work? What if it’s a rip-off? Luckily, you can get yourself a free sample of Dri Wash n’ Guard here. I’m waiting to test mine out whenever I get it.
