What is your carbon footprint? Hmm... ok, let's start over... What is a carbon footprint?
A carbon footprint is a "measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide".
Here's a nifty tool from ivillage.com, an online calculator to measure carbon footprints. I think this is just the right time, hoping it's not too late, to take a clear and determined look at how our lifestyles are affecting the environment. Isn't it just responsible to ...
This is wise living.
I keep picturing this scene from Music and Lyrics where Hugh Grant (playing an 80's singer Alex Fletcher) hires Drew Barimore (as Sophie Fisher, who plays as plant caretaker) to water his apartment plants. Obviously, Alex doesn't care less what time his plants are fed and just keeps it for the "girls" so to say.
Well, for the Alex Fletcher's out there, here's a terrrific idea to consider. While I myself would take on any Sophie Fisher over this gadget, chances may be too slim to find one... even by accident.

Don’t worry, don’t worry – the huge ice continent is not about to melt completely to raise sea levels around the world to “Waterworld” heights.
So, you can safely get down from your roof now. And, no, there’s no need to consider living in a “Yellow Submarine” even if you’re a Beatles fan.
On Tuesday, March 25, 2008, British scientists revealed that chunk of Antarctic ice about the size of Scotland suddenly collapsed, putting an even greater portion of glacial ice at risk.

It is not good for man to be overworked.
I had made the mistake of overworking myself for one whole week monthly then be depressed and exhausted for three weeks a month, in the past. Then just right now, after having my mid-work Quiet Time (after finishing my February BlogSearchEngine.com posts), I read from 1 Kings 19:7:

The context is 1 Kings 19:1-18, where Elijah fled from Jezebel’s* wrath. Elijah was given food twice. After he was given food the first time, he ...

This article should have been written before Feb. 14, but anyway, in case you’re still in the mood to give flowers to your sweetie, you should know that different flowers convey different messages.
Here’s what flower experts say about the meanings of some blooms:
Roses - Love
Orchids - A belle
Iris - My compliments
Daisies - ...
This news is a little sad for me because I am a huge fan of the TV sitcom “The Office”. I’ve been following this show for the past two years and have really admired all the characters. One of my personal favorites was Daryl, the Dunder Mifflin warehouseman whom Michael (the boss) always always try [...]

I’ve had my fair share of local and international travels. Everytime I “hit the road” I am always brought to “hit the wall” when the time comes to pack. I just couldn’t fit what I need to bring in a small suitcase. Really! My solution? Have the wife do the packing for me. I tell [...]
While summer can be the fun-filled time of the year IT CAN also be a huge debt trap. Every year, Americans splurge on summer expenses like trips, hotels, summer clothing, gears, and gadgets. Oh and all those have-nots that people just “need” to make summer extra perfect.
Every mall will hand out “special deals” to hook [...]
