Wanna Have More? Use Less!

Water, Water...Nowhere?

Approximately 2/3 of our planet is covered by water.  But how much of it is usable for humans?  The answer: 1%.  That's it. Only 1% of the water on our planet is considered fresh water and usable by humans.  The other 99%, we can't really use. Let that sink in for a few seconds.

It's Just Another Meatless Monday

If you're humming the Bangles' tune Manic Monday right now, you're definitely a child of the 80's.  And now that I have your attention, let's talk about meat.  (You can still hum along if you'd like).  The Great American Meat Out is coming soon on Saturday, March 20th.  As mentioned in previous posts, I know that people can get touchy when it comes to food, especially meat.  But this post isn't so much about telling anyone what we should or shouldn't eat, it's bigger than that.
