California Forest Fires

In the four southern California national forests, 84% of all forest fires are started by people. The remaining 16% are started by lightning. Fewer fires start in roadless areas than in developed, roaded areas.

Small - but important - things you can do to help save the planet

Composting

One third of the space in landfills is organic waste that could be used for compost. Don't throw away stuff that you can use to improve your garden, for free!

Bagging it right

We all know that neither paper nor plastic bags are an environmental choice of grocery bags. But what about so called biobags, which are biodegradable? The problem is, they are made of corn, and if they should replace non-biodegradable plastic bags, it would mean a lot more land cultivation - the same problem as with so called biofuel. So the best thing you can do is to keep some cloth bags in your car, and remember to bring them with you into the store!
