[Guest Post] What Are The Benefits Of Organic Clothing?

The environment is stretched to its limits. Pollution is on the minds of (many of) the world's leaders. 

This has led to some industries adopting a more ecological standpoint when producing goods. While fashion hasn't always been known for its adherence to environmental issues, there are some brands who have begun to do something about it. There have been major developments in the clothing industry, with products for adults and organic children's clothing now found more frequently in stores.

[Guest Post] Climate and Weather Trends

Climate and weather trends will be impacted over the next 500 years based on current pollution trends and observations scientists are making now. Over the last few centuries, the climate has been affected from many human activities. The two major factors that have altered the atmosphere are rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and the removing of vegetation. The elevated carbon dioxide levels will directly contribute to a rising average temperature over the next 500 years, in turn directly impacting the global warming. As humans are removing vegetation in order to create developments and more, there is less solar energy absorbed from the atmosphere. Also, vegetation helps recycle moisture back up into the atmosphere. Over the next 500 years, scientists are predicting a higher average temperature, a higher sea level, stronger natural disasters, and affected water supply/droughts. Humans can alter these current pollution trends and produce a different outcome by changing their behaviors and habits. As a population, we need to stop deforesting and removing vegetation as it is a pivotal piece to our weather and maintaining climate patterns over time. Also, we must come up with clear gases and emission as carbon dioxide and more are severely affecting our atmosphere and climate.

[Guest Post] What will the planet look like in 100 years?



Last week, my PC decided to give up the ghost on me. What does this have to do with the future I hear you ask? Well, as a back-up, my flat-mate dug out his iMac (circa 1999), and it got me thinking. The design, software and functionality of it seemed ancient when compared to modern Macbooks, yet there has only been 13 years in between the two. What then would the world be like in 100 years of further technological advancement, human expansion and, inevitably, depleting resources? How would buildings look, what would we be eating, how would we get around, and would we still be here?

In 100 years, the earth will be a very different and probably unrecognizable place. With the Russians suggesting that human immortality is only 45 years away, the human population exploding at an unmanageable rate, and the livability of vast areas of our planet decreasing by the year, Earth is in dire need of some radical change!

[Guest Post] Travel With Eco-Friendly Gizmos - It Is Easy Being Green

It's hard to stay disconnected from modern technology in today's digital and highly connected world. One thing many eco-sensitive folks don't like about most gadgets and gizmos is the effect they have on the environment and that they are designed with "planned obsolescence." You can still get your gadget fix and stay green, especially when it comes to travel gear. Here are some of the green offerings for the travel - and jet-set.
