Photo via stock.xchng by bouwm019
Should we be eating more beef in order to slow global warming? It sounds counterintuitive, but it may be so: Cattle could be part of the whole ecological equation to solving climate change and restoring healthy, bio-diverse ecosystems. I am a vegetarian, but I maintain there is a place for grass-fed beef on family menus—and pasture-raised cattle in global warming solutions. Cows can help more than harm if they are sustainably raised.]]>... http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/07/in-defense-of-the-cow-eating-meat-could-slow-climate-change.php?dcitc=th_rss_exclusives http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/07/in-defense-of-the-cow-eating-meat-could-slow-climate-change.php?dcitc=th_rss_exclusives Food & Health Science & Technology Take Action Travel & Nature eco-myths food how to green your life science water agriculture beef carbon emissions carbon sequestration cattle corn diet drought global climate change global warming causes global warming solutions grass green food matters pollution Thu, 09 Jul 2009 13:27:44 -0500 84 Recycled PET Bottles to Make ECOALF Cabin Trolley Here is something that is 100% recycled, but doesn’t look it. ECOALF is the new fabric developed by the Spanish company fun&basics, made from recycled PET bottles. It is a high quality textile: flexible, tension resistant, long lasting, waterproof and lightweight. The first bags made from ECOALF are a toilet bag, a small bag, a cabin trolley and a large, wheeled luggage bag. The fun thing about them is the visualisation of the recycled bottles.
