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. The current rapid pace of development in urban wildland interface areas is causing a serious increase the fire risk
for these areas. Read more (pdf)

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!
