Ashes to Ashes…Let Nature Take Its Course with Green Burials

I’m not crazy about cemeteries.
Ok, that’s a strange statement. I am guessing most of us (unless you are an anthropologist keen on studying gravestones) wouldn’t choose to spend our Sunday afternoons strolling through vaults and crypts and memorials.

More Land for the Everglades - Sweet!

 Today the New York Times reported that United States Sugar, the nation’s largest sugarcane producer, has agreed to sell 187,000 acres north of Everglades National Park to the state of Florida for $1.75 billion.

Green Upgrader did a bit of research on what the post office will do should you actually use this “Return to Waster” stamp and they report:

Sign Leonardo DiCaprio’s “No Plastic Bags” Pledge

Celebrity Week continues here at Daily Tomorrow and the rest of the Health & Wellness Channel. Today’s featured star is one of the best and brightest of my generation, Leo DiCaprio.
Leonardo DiCaprio’s latest film is no summer blockbuster, no teary big-budget romance, nothing with a theme-song from Celine Dion. It is, however, an epic saga. […]

Can the Governator Use the Togetherizer to Terminate Global Warming?

The Governator has been busy.
Last week, former movie star and current California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger officially declared that his state was in a drought and threatened to ration water to cities if conservation efforts were not increased. The New York Times reported:
