Wave Power Roundup!

Solar power is awesome, but the sun don’t shine all day.
Wind power is awesome, but the wind don’t always blow.

The waves, however, never ever stop.

Harnessing wave power is the new best thing.

These folks are working on it for us.

Ocean Power Technologies

We must support these technologies, as they are the ones that will ensure our survival. (And by support, I mean taking an interest in and relating that interest to others.)

I feel like going for a swim. If it weren’t so cold outside! Brrrrrr.

Corn Plastic Fantastic!

As a species, we are so smart.
When we realize that something is bad for our environment, we invent things to replace them.

Case is point, most cities are banning plastic bags, let’s go one further, let’s ban all non-recyclable plastic!

Instead, let’s use products like these!


Hot drink cups from Ecowise.com.


Cold drink cups from KelseyPromo.


Vegetable packaging from EarthFirst Plastics.



Corn plastic shopping bags from Biobag USA

We can use these products for parties and such, then compost all of them at home, quietly and comfortably. Very green.

The future is looking a little less crude.

Ecowise, EarthFirst Plastics, Kelsey Promo and BioBag, you four get today’s SuperForest Good Person award. Well done. (I know there are more companies making bioplastics, but we’ll give them awards in due time.)

Curious what it is and how it’s made? Check out wikipedia’s entry on Bioplastic.
