Comment on What if a Service Dog is a Pit Bull? by Kim Goode

Kim Goode — Sun, 12 May 2013 13:11:13 +0000

Pitbulls are not good service dog materials. There are plenty of breeds out there that can do better work than this breed. Look for wonderful breeds for serving people such as Border Collie, German Shepherd, Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd or Belgian Malinois among a few best dogs.

This is cool. I am still living in Thailand so I will have to check it out. Elephant Nature Park near Chiang Mai also has a dog rescue volunteer program that is cool and free.

Comment on How To Understand Google’s Penguin Update by Yasir Khan

Penguin update shook the SEO world. They were unaware and caught off guard. This system algorithm was released to eliminate web marketers using rehashed or duplicate content, keyword stuffing, poor back links just to get rank on search engines.

Sounds like an excellent organization. We also need to keep up pressure on food producers (including the Girl Scouts!) to buy palm oil only from responsible sources.

Comment on Building Affordable and Green Homes using Storage Containers by Karen Maskall

Why not? They are a solid framework and can be stacked easily and cut through to make windows and doors. As long as containers are being made to transport goods then there will always a supply of them. There is always a cost to the planet when new containers are made though. Steel is made from iron which is mined from the earth so that in itself is destructive.

Only heard of doomsdayers using shipping containers as living space, some of those images are brilliant. Think they will really take off for cheap mainstream living?

Hi Karen,
I have been using white distilled vinegar for some time and have had good success with it – despite the odor. Especially, when combining baking soda or borax with vinegar for scrubbing away stubborn mildew or mold stains.
I did not know that some white vinegar products were made with petroleum products – good to know. Great Stuff Here!

Comment on Are We Toying With Childrens Health? by David E.

David E. — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 14:14:12 +0000

Obesity is a serious issue these days. Some parents aren’t responsible enough. They should communicate with their children more to learn their problems and find a solution. Obesity is a bad thing. Kids should eat a balanced diet and have an exercise!

Comment on Are We Toying With Childrens Health? by Amanda

Amanda — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 16:22:49 +0000

I feel some parents are indeed not being very caring toward their children. Obesity is a very big issue, it causes various complicated diseases. Parents have to be more responsible, they have to play a very important role in fighting obesity.

Comment on Chickens and Eggs: What are you really eating? by David

David — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 15:32:06 +0000

I always eat chicken and eggs, sometimes I even drink raw eggs before going to the gym, and I guess we don’t stop to think about the excess contaminants like mass anti-biotics that are given to animals in factory farming do we? Shocking and it will all most certainly back fire on us all.

Comment on Lunch Break SEO by pledge

Hi Wilma

There is a way to improve your bounce rate with your commentluv premium. In the GASP settings on your wordpress set the minimum amount of time your commenters be on any post before their comment is published. I use a phrase “surely you have not read this post in less than 30 seconds? Please read the post before adding a comment.
That at least has them stay on site for at least 30 seconds. I believe the bounce rate is measured with the visits that leave within 10 seconds.

Thanks for your explanation about fixing a high bounce rate page. I’ve very high bounce rate (74-75%). So far I just try to add related post, popular post and menu on the sidebar. Unfortunately, they don’t work really well. All I have to do now are go to the google analytics, check every high bounce rate pages, and fix them.

Comment on Chimineas: An Effective Eco-Heating Option by Jenson Roland

Jenson Roland — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 19:40:22 +0000

I love them. Ive got a couple of chimineas in my garden and they are invaluable on chilly evening extending the summer season for as long as possible. We always save our garden twigs cut backs and let them dry out for a while before using them to burn. I’ve got a cast iron post to roast food directly inside the chiminea.. scrumptious

well then John.. using up all these old containers makes much more sense than leaving them sitting around to rot in the ports doesn’t it? I’ve noticed some companies are even collecting them from the ports and selling them on as used shipping containers at quite a high price. This will increase the market end value and make them not such a good deal as you can no longer just get them for free paying just for delivery. These middle men might be doing more harm than good … who knows

There will be more and more of these eco build homes globally Rob so you will be able to check one near to you soon I am sure. Great to see more schools going eco but there is along way to go yet.

That’s a great idea James. Why pack all your bedding and towels separately when you can wrap things up with them and protect them?

Comment on What if a Service Dog is a Pit Bull? by Peaches

The issue of having a pit bull as a service dog is fine. The concern is that whilie there is no doubt that this dog would be well behaved and in the top 1% of dogs the breed rap has people concerned. I’m all for any dog who can make it as a service dog havign the opertunity to do this for others.

Comment on Vegan Clothing, Past Present and Future by Adelle

Adelle — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 18:35:53 +0000

As much as I appreciate your informative post, I still doubt it if one can actually go vegan in all things, it might be easy in your area but it can’t be the same things in other places. I’m still wondering how possible will that be. Going vegan clothing, shoe wise, and lots of things derives from animal skin can be a tough one.

It feels great to see people putting efforts to create sustainable environment. I would also like to add that use of clothes and other fabrics instead of bubble wrap for packing your stuff can also contribute towards environment. Bubble wrap is quite difficult to recycle and it take years to decompose, so avoid using bubble wrap.

Comment on The Relationship Between Art And Activism by Greg

Greg — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 01:26:15 +0000

Art is, and should be a reflection of the society, times and circumstances in which it is “generated”. Anything less just is not art. Art gives us a chance to not only peer into the soul of the artist, but to see the world from their vantage point.

Thanks for sharing some excellent examples of this principal in practice!

Comment on Bike Theft Rings Leave Green People Seeing Red by Iain

Iain — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 21:39:25 +0000

I luckily have never fell victim to a bike theft. I hope to never have to experience it either.

I love my bike too much to have it stolen for no reason.

I can’t believe that barely anyone said anything in that video. That was the most shocking part for me. I mean if someone stole a car, I am sure people would be scrambling.

In term of the advice you gave for securing your bike, definitely attach your bike to a metal beam. As you said, too much invested in it.

Great post.

Very cool idea! I wish i wasn’t overseas to check it out in person. I know more and more schools are adding green/eco classes into their curriculum and i know of some that even have gardens for the Dining Service to serve fresh fruit and veggies.
