I remember a group in the early 90’s when all these environment-save-the-earth movements were taking shape. The Tree Huggers of America, was and still is a cornerstone movement championing the preservation of forests, of nature. Oh those warm feelings when I heard about this movement. Made me hug a tree too!
Anyway, I’ve recently come across what seems to be a branch of the tree-hugging concept. TreeHugger.com is fast becoming a central resource of everything about saving the natural resources of the planet. I was a little impressed at how the site is active with posts and participation from around the world. It seems so riddled with advertisements though. If you can wade yourself through the ad gunk, the site may have something really important to say to you. It somehow feels like the commercial version of the Tree Huggers of America website.
Check out the Un-Tree Hugger section. That’s original and really very interesting.

Remember that handy black gadget that was so cool 20 years ago? I remember begging my parents to get me one of them, as my classmates all had one. A chunky black box with matching headphones, which were just as chunky, seemed to be one of the coolest status symbols way back then. [...]
It’s no joke, the Guiness Book of World Records says “a world record in the length of a queue to a toilet was set on Sunday when 756 people lined up to a latrine in central Brussels to raise awareness for the need for clean water on World Water Day.”
What an achievement! And [...]
Did you know that there are hundreds and hundreds of different phobias? Some are afraid of chickens, some are afraid of ants, and others are afraid of air! Of the phobias, I don’t really know which one is the most common but I do know that I have met so many people with [...]
I believe that reading is at the root of learning. Children who learn to read at an early age and continue to do so as they grow older have a big advantage over those who do not pick up books on a regular basis. Reading opens up worlds that may otherwise be closed [...]
What would drive a man to end his family’s life. This is sad news, brace yourselves. You’ve heard that Ervin Lupoes has decided to end his life and his family’s. Authorities investigating this has mentioned the motive was because “he has no job and has five children”. Taking matter into his [...]
