DBA 98 PEN THREE-PACK
Three pens w/ black ink $8.98
The DBA 98 Pen is the only 98% biodegradable pen in the world. It’s also the only pen to use ink composed of simple, environmentally responsible ingredients. Produced at a wind- powered facility in the United States, it was designed as a responsible alternative to the wasteful and often toxic pens we use almost every day. And with its straightforward design and rollerball tip, the DBA Pen looks good and writes well, too. - DBA
Think before you write.
"Modern industrial fishing lines can be as long as 75 miles — the same distance as from sea level to space."
"Animal agriculture makes a 40% greater contribution to global warming than all transportation in the world combined; it is the number one cause of climate change."

“Bet you didn’t know that…”
"If you’re mobile phone is on dual mode, 3G/2G and you’re not really using its 3G features, turn it OFF, it will save you battery. Same goes with WIFI."
"If you’re in a long flight, or staying in a place with poor signal, or worse no signal at all, turn OFF your mobile phone, this saves your battery. If your mobile phone has poor or no signal, it will try to search for a better one which will consume your mobile phone’s battery power."
Copenhagen Adopts a Mandatory Green Roof Policy
This is just so brilliant. I love it.
“As part of its overall strategy to become a carbon neutral city by 2025, Copenhagen has become the first Scandanavian city to adopt a policy that requires green roofs for all new buildings with roof slopes of less than 30 degrees. Copenhagen presently has 20,000 square meters (over 215,000 square feet) of flat roofs. It is hoped that as much as 5,000 square meters of new development each year will be covered with vegetation.
