Dubbed the Pisim Project (Pisim is Cree for sun), the house is based on the same footprint as homes of a century ago, while using local materials and modern technology to produce an efficient, low-cost home capable of existing off-grid for up to five days. The one and one-half storey home will showcase innovative energy-efficient design features including double stackwalls and passive and active solar heating.

The HSUS Fur-Free Campaign believes that animals need their fur more than we do. Alternative fabrics, both natural and synthetic, eliminate the need to kill animals for this cruel product. Yet, each year more than 50 million animals are killed for their fur: dogs and cats, wolves, raccoon dogs, leopard cats, mink, foxes, bobcats, beavers, raccoons, sables, lynx, chinchillas—the list goes on and on.

Lets call recycling what it is- a fraud, a sham, a scam perpetrated by big business on the citizens and municipalities of America. Look who sponsors the National Recycling Coalition: behind America Recycles Day: Coca-Cola, Pepsico, Anheuser-Busch, Coors, Owens-Illinois, International Bottled Water Association, the same people who brought you that other fraud, Keep America Beautiful. Recycling is simply the transfer of producer responsibility for what they produce to the taxpayer who has to pick it up and take it away.

But there’s hope: According to the Center for the New American Dream, a whopping 70% of Americans would welcome a decreased emphasis on gift giving. The problem is, the act is so wrapped up (pardon the pun) in our consumer culture that extricating the practice would take a massive paradigm shift. Or a few more near-Great Depressions, at least. So let’s do what we can to start steering this destructive trend into a more sustainable direction: this means more e-cards, more recycled packaging, and most importantly, thoughtfulness.

Instead of tossing empty cans into a recycling bin or, heaven forbid, throwing them in the garbage, Jim Berroth adopted a new "green" approach in dealing with holiday decorating at his Hamilton Road, Whitehall, home. His six grandkids, already schooled in the necessity to recycle what once filled landfills, call the creative display" "Pap's pop can trees." The German carol, " O Tannenbaum,'' or in its English version "O Christmas Tree,'' may never be the same. Mr. Berroth, 72, fashions soda and other cans -- "mostly Pepsi, but some Miller Lites, too" into trees and other seasonal objects, then decorates them with garlands and lights.
