Reusable items are slowly gaining popularity; some common ones include shopping bags and water bottles. But why stop there? There are still so many more items in our lives that could be swapped for their reusable versions.

Tokyo Conserves Power

New Year's Resolutions for the Environmentally Conscious

The new year is here! It's time for change and time for improvement.

1) Recycle
This might sound simple but aim to really recycle everything possible. Don't think that just one can of soda won't make a difference. It won't, but we can't have everyone thinking like that.

Humans have built and explored big things for many years. First it was the ocean now it's space. The next frontier will be on the nano scale.

That mountain of bags on your driveway waiting to be picked up can serve a nobler purpose.

The Earth is a closed system; what you put into it is what you'll get out of it.

I decided to make my own deodorant to avoid another common source of unnecessary chemicals. Here is a simple recipe.
