From the article... "She will swim about 60 hours in the churning sea, 103 miles across the Straits of Florida from Cuba to Key West. Every hour and a half, she will stop to tread water for a few minutes as she swallows a liquid mixture of predigested protein and eats an occasional bit of banana or dollop of peanut butter.

I doubt America will ever do something like this with our extreme level of energy dependency and political corruption surrounding such. Good new none the less. It might be good for the planet that we are falling soo far behind. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303714704576383452729642270.html

Regarding Meningitis A. From the article... "MenAfriVac is much cheaper than existing meningitis A vaccines, at 50¢ compared with $120 per dose. It is also more potent. Unlike conventional vaccines, which are based on sugars resembling those on the surface of Neisseria meningitides, a bacterium that causes meningitis, the new vaccine splices the sugars to a carrier protein that is better at

A MUST read article on the way humans actually respond to diaster vs. the media hyped hysteria. From the article... "The same predictions are made about every disaster -- that once the lid of a tightly policed civilization is knocked off for a second, humans will become beasts. But the opposite is the case. It will sound grotesque to say that we should see reasons for hope as we watch in

I found the comments at the bottom to be particularly interesting. From the article..

Corporations will spend millions initiating a change like this, then spend hundreds of millions advertising the fact. It's called 'green wash', and it's something to take with a grain of salt. However, I can't help but git a little hopeful when you hear something like this. Major corporations responding to consumer influence is certainly one of many ways things will change From the article... "

I feel there are two overlooked issues in the 'green' lifestyle. These are weight and lifetime usefulness. If, for example we focused on using light-weight materials in all endeavors (construction, apparel, transportation) then the cost of transportation and therefore total oil consumption would drop exponentially while driving R&D in new markets. Second is lifetime usefulness. There are plenty

Adopted from the 'Realizations of Great Beings" Realize that the mind is insatiable and that it constantly strives for more, thus placing additional strain on the environment. The Conservationist is not like this. He thinks often of being satisfied with what he has, is peaceful in poverty and upholds the truth. The Environment is his primary concern.

A great fire roared through an ancient forest. The animals all stood in fear and despair. One little humming bird however was seen zooming back and forth, in and out of the flames. She was loading up her little beak with water from the pond and fighting the fire one drop at a time. The other animals looked upon her with strange disbelief. "Why are you wasting your time?" They asked. "You cannot

A thick band of cloud runs across the face of Half Dome. The sun (setting at my 5 o'clock) was just high enough to illuminate Half Domes tip, leaving the face below the band in the shadow, creating this contrast. Picture taken yesterday while slack-lining along the Merced.

Blue Sky Meadow is located in Big Bear, California.
