Green as a Thistle points out an interesting waste problem in one of her posts, when she discusses pumpkin carving. For Halloween millions of folks will buy a pumpkin to carve it and then display it on their front lawn or porch.
This is a tradition as old as time and many won’t part or change it, but let’s take a look at it from an eco angle, the waste angle. Some might do something with the carvings or the pumpkin itself, while many

It is easy to say that anyone has gone eco-friendly and has undergone the various steps to be able to contribute towards the shift towards green standards. However, it still remains that people need to be well-educated on what green means and this is something which most people look for as reference before they undergo their various shopping spree practices.
Most of the superstores we see today feature the green compliant standards as set forth

This biodiesel will be a blend of soybean oil and animal fat mixed with traditional petroleum diesel.
With the growing biodiesel industry the demand for soybean crops is skyrocketed, which is creating a boon

Umbra Fisk who writes a column at eco site Grist, answers the question. The reader wants to know if when building his deck, he should choose wood, plastic, or composite? (a blend of wood and plastic)
