Discovery’s “Life” A Glorious Follow-Up to “Planet Earth”, but Party Smacks of Hypocricy
Discovery and the BBC’s new series, “Life” is knock-your-socks off fantastic. In between mantis stretched it’s legs in Madagascar, chameleons showed off their insance colors, Ibex fleed from foxes in Israel, flying fish in slo-mo skimmed the waves, hippos clashed over mates, grebes walked on water just for the joy of it, poison arrow frogs went to great lengths to protect their young (and an octopus gave its life for the next eight-legged generation), capuchin monkeys used tools and so much more.
Seven years in the making, the all-animal cast performs feats of daring, acts of subterfuge, and engages in fantastical flirting, all captured with crazy high-def cameras that had a lifelong devotee of nature programs like myself practically gasping out loud at the NYC premiere event last week.

Edenbloc 35 uses an entirely natural biopolymer system to bind the product together, eliminating the need for synthetic components that may otherwise render the product difficult to dispose of at the end of its life.

Now, thanks to a new innovation from Second Nature UK Ltd, our homes can also benefit from this traditional keep-warm classic. Edenbloc 35 is a new type of rigid insulation made predominantly from recycled wool and can be used in many internal situations,

Store I Love: Muji
Instead of clear plastic bottles that get scratchy and look too utilitarian, here’s a nice $3 alternative that brings a little eco-luxury into your everyday life.
A few years ago, I had the opportunity to stay at the City Club Hotel in NYC when it just opened. This was one of hotelier Jeff Klein’s first properties that celebrated the idea of less-is-more, the idea a hotel could be a pied-a-terre of sorts and not feel like a giant, old convention center many mega-hotels feel like today. One of the amenities I remembered staying there was the liberal use of Hermes bath

Pedestrian Cities / Quality of Life
Being able to walk to a mix of shops, restaurants, newsstands, coffeehouses and open-air markets within car-free neighborhoods and work centers delivers the highest quality of life, and adds great variety and vitality to an area. Although it’s blessed with certain inherited characteristics - such as a narrow medieval street grid - the city has worked steadily to improve the quality of its street life. Designing great places for the comfort and enjoyment of the pedestrian is one of the most important aspects of New Urbanism. Taken to the highest level of urbanism, the finest places in the

Love Life, Not Stuff
written by Leo Babauta . We’re in love with stuff — with shopping, with acquiring, with owning, with collecting. Let’s lust after life instead. Our obsession with stuff has become unhealthy. Financially, we’re worse off than ever, because of this obsession with stuff. We buy things when we’re depressed, we buy things for others to show how much we love them … and in this way, stuff has separated us from actually dealing with our emotions, blocked us from truly connecting with others. Let’s replace that lust for stuff with a lust for life. Some ideas: Rediscover

Making a Life (Green Living)
Redefining Success and Rediscovering Joy By John Ivanko & Lisa Kivirist Adapted from the book ECOpreneuring: Putting Purpose and the Planet Before Profits (New Society Publishers) © Elizabeth Prager Life offers more than a paycheck, corner office and promotional title.

Thoreau's Experiment With The Simple Life
Living Simply As A State Of Mind By Michael Lewin Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862) was born in Concord, Massachusetts, where he lived most of his life. It was his experiment in simple, grounded living that he hoped would enable him to gain some insight into the primary realities of life. The work offered up profound spiritual insights and wisdom, later becoming recognized as a "high water mark" in American literature. I He attended Harvard University and soon after completing his studies joined his father's pencil manufacturing business. During this period, Thoreau had taken to
