In a blatantly arrogant display of “richer than though” persona, a wealthy Sheikh shipped his Lamborghini from Qatar to London all just for an oil change. At 3,250 miles each way, that makes the carbon footprint of this already high emitting car even more massive that it otherwise would be. All in all, it cost […]
Summer is in full swing here in my little island town in Maine. The ’summer folk’ are arriving and boy are things getting busy. We have had a swell of berries coming in from local farmers and neighborhood kids alike and are getting so many MORE of our veggies from the island and […]

Scrubbing down your pad with rigorous spring-cleaning may leave it sparkling but the story is very different for your health. Researchers say that perhaps one in seven cases of adult asthma is brought on by harsh chemicals in common household cleaning sprays.
