  2. A/V Fridays – Becoming Human

    Posted on February 19, 2010 by Allie

    J and I have been watching the 3-part NOVA series, Becoming Human, this week, and I’d highly recommend it.  One of the most interesting lines of discussion in the series revolves around rapid climate change and its effect on the development of human intelligence and abilities in the evolutionary time table.

    You can watch all three parts of Becoming Human on PBS.com, or on Netflix Watch Instantly.

  3. A/V Fridays – Rescuing Dancing Bears and Poachers

    I love this! I think it’s a great example of what sustainability really means – looking at the whole situation, thinking out cause and effect, and finding a solution that will actually fix things instead of just looking good.

  7. A/V Fridays – Rachel & Me on WROC-TV’s Go Green Segment

    Posted on September 11, 2009 by Allie

    Yesterday morning, Rachel and I shot a Go Green segment for WROC-TV (as you may have guessed from yesterday’s post).  The video is up, but I can’t imbed it, so you’ll have to head over to RochesterHomepage.net to watch.

    They did a great closeup on Rachel’s purple leather cuff.  It’s from her Summer 2009 Recycled Leather collection.  You can read more about the collection at Made By Rachel, and if you live in Rochester, you can find the collection at Thread.

    While you’re over at Rochester Homepage, check out this video about vertical gardening.  It’s really cool.  Did you know you can grow eggplant on the side of your house?

  9. A/V Friday – Life in Biosphere 2

    Posted on August 14, 2009 by Allie

    This one is a little longer than the videos I normally post, but Jane Poynter is a dynamic speaker, the pictures are stunning, and haven’t you always been a little curious about the Biosphere?  I have.  Although, I’m a little confused.  Where’s Pauly Shore?

  10. A/V Fridays – Music From A Tree

    Posted on July 17, 2009 by Allie

    Diego Stocco – Music From A Tree from Diego Stocco on Vimeo.

    Diego was so kind to e-mail me this video of himself playing a tree like it’s a musical instrument.  When I first read his e-mail, I have to admit I was a little skeptical, thinking I’d click over to the video and it would just be some guy hitting a tree with a stick or something.  Wow.  I was so wrong, and I’m so glad I watched.  It’s weird and wonderful and as soon as I post this I’m going to watch it all over again.

Tip of the Day

Rain Barrel Safety

Thinking of getting a rain barrel to collect water for gardening use?  You’ll want to be selective in how you use collected water.
