Here’s some great news for Amazon fans, especially those planning on doing some of their Christmas shopping online. Amazon now offers “Frustration-Free Packaging” which consists of streamlined packaging using recyclable cardboard.
Imagine, no more struggling to a get a gadget out from its packaging. No more plastic cuts (the dreaded cousin of the paper cut). And not only will it be easier to release the product from it’s packaging, the packaging itself is more environmentally friendly. Sounds like a win-win decision to me.
While Amazon’s CEO does hope to eventually …

Prunes, prunes, the magical fruit, the more you eat, the more you “¦neutralize free radicals and protect against cell damage?

Of course, the researchers didn’t test cacao or goji berries, which blow prunes out of …

One of my girlfriends admits to a severe professor complex. She loves – adores – geeky guys. The sight of tweed sends her over the edge. The nerdier the better, and bonus points for glasses and a big…vocabulary. As she always says, “Talk nerdy to me, baby.”
When I opened the mail this morning and found a new Eco Bag, I chuckled at the newest design from the green-your-grocery-trip retailer: a bold black canvas tote emblazoned with the message: “Talk Green to Me.” Perfect for the girl with a granola complex …

Are you curious to know if any endangered animals are making a comeback? We were, so we did some digging. Although many ecosystems and animals are suffering from pollution, habitat destruction and climate change, some animals are happily getting the crucial support they need, which is encouraging news indeed. (As they say on the net, animals FTW!)
