I love technology. Sometimes, however, it's a double-edged sword. Take microwaves, for example. They make our meal prep ever so much more speedy, but are they killing us at the same time?

It's true, you very well may be embalming yourself while still alive by heating food in plastic containers.

But how can we be sure if this long time legend is fact or fiction? Let's explore.

If we don't save our planet, the universe will create a new one...but humans won't inhabit it.

It's true, this feeble rock we call home is our one and only shot. We should all take a lesson from dying stars 400 times the size of our sun and do a bit of recycling.

Oh you didn't know that stars traveling 80 miles per second recycle? You'd be surprised...

Looking for something fun and green to do this weekend?

How about going to a drive-in movie?

Earth911.org turned me on to this tip yesterday and I thought it was a great idea to pass on. Drive-Ins encourage carpooling, use less energy than conventional theatres, and save can you a trunk load of money as well!

Oh you don't think there are any drive-in theatres around you? I bet there are.

Have you ever realized how ironic it is that most gear used for adventures in the great outdoors is mostly, well, not-so-friendly to the great outdoors itself?

Via a post at TreeHugger.com this morning, I just learned that:

"REI co-op, America's largest consumer cooperative and outdoor gear emporium, announced an initiative to help their customers, and 2.8 million co-op members, find garments made of Eco-Sensitive materials".

Doesn't it only make sense to make outdoors gear from sustainable and "ecoSensitive" materials? But how eco-friendly is the REI ecoSensitive label?

Haven't yet realized the scam that is one of our number one fetishes? Chances are, you recently have.

That's right, bottled water is a complete and utter scam...and now MSN Money is passing on the word.
