Geological research shows that the climate then was far warmer than today, the world’s ice caps were smaller, and the sea level might have been as much as 60 or 80 feet higher."

I started to think twice about buying goods I could make a home from scratch. Anyone familiar with zero waste ?I know that communities in Japan are starting to shift to zero waste.At this point I really don't buy much , only function matters since anything excessive I am stuck later wasting time donating or getting rid of somehow. Repurposing had become a problem since that took up time and effort repurposing something I had not purpose for.I have really donated tones of extra things and I am glad I did. I am pretty basic and don't mind being creative with the things I do have.Any thoughts? ]]> Environmental Issues sylvia http://www.simplelivingforum.net/showthread.php?8165-Recycling-vs-Zero-Waste-Concept http://www.simplelivingforum.net/showthread.php?8164-Fashion-isn-t-frivolous-article&goto=newpost Mon, 13 May 2013 15:20:04 GMT http://grist.org/living/fashion-isnt-frivolous-its-a-matter-of-life-and-death/ I am thinking of all the women I see trying to keep up with the... http://grist.org/living/fashion-isnt...ife-and-death/
