So how about ten things that lemons can be useful for:
1. Grow a lemon tree - the most eco-friendly thing to do with lemons is grow them so that you have your own carbon neutral supply.
2. Highlight your hair - much better for you and

While the articles about Al gore and Robert Kennedy Jr. are interesting, they aren’t innovative or original. And when Rolling Stone cla

And we are not talking with envy here; yes the man who has everything is now pledging to turn his empire into a green organization.
The pledge in reality is to see the giant media empire which has a foothold in virtually every country in the world is set to reduce its carbon footprint from 641,150 tons a year to being carbon neutral by the year 2010, of course owning all those newspapers does not help, all that paper!
