Dandelions or cancer?

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Great article on the toxic mess we are making with all the wired lawn chemicals we use 24/7 in our society.

I know this is a shocker, but the grass and trees did just fine for millions of years before we invented these toxic chemcials. They have absolutely no real world benefit of any kind. They do however, have serious drawbacks. Our testing technology never seems to be equal to our production technology, and we are always playing “catch up” on just what the true effects are of these poisons.

Montana: The return of Ursus arctos horribilis to the prairie

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Great article by Jason Kauffman. Also of great interest is the fact the grizzly bears are now trying to recolonize the Bitterroots, Sapphires and Anaconda-Pintlers in western Montana.

The fact that grizzlies are going 100 miles east out onto the prairie from the Glacier ecosystem tells you just how amazing that country really is. Nowhere else could this happen in the lower 48.
