Green on HuffingtonPost.com |

Eat Insects To Mitigate Deforestation and Climate Change
|
14.5.2013 |
Environmental News Network |
A new 200-page-reportby the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) urges human society to utilize an often-ignored, protein-rich, and ubiquitous food source: insects. While many in the industrialized west might turn up their noses at the idea of eating insects, already around 2 billion people worldwide eat over 1,900 species of insect, according to the FAO. Expanding insect-eating, the authors argue, may be one way to combat rising food needs, environmental degradation, and climate change. |

Happy Mother's Day
|
12.5.2013 |
Green Lifestyle and Sustainable Culture News - ENN |
Today is Mother's Day in the US and is a chance to honor and give thanks to mothers, both human and those of the animal variety!
In nature, mothers come in all shapes and sizes and are equipped with a wide range of different parenting styles. We've selected a handful of moms with unique and fascinating methods for raising their babies from keeping little ones close for years to kicking them right out of the nest before they can even fly!
Furry and ginormous, American bison mothers live with their young in hierarchical herds led by one dominant female. Within three hours of being born, the newborn calves are able to run about but are guarded closely by many of the herds' mothers who will charge any intruders. Talk about safety in numbers! |

|
10.5.2013 |
MinnPost |
| Thirty semi-finalists have been selected for the "$1 MILLION Forever Saint Paul Challenge," which asked people to submit ideas to improve St. Paul.
A panel will now narrow those down to three to five finalists, and then the public will vote to determine which one gets the $1 million for implementation.
Sponsored by the Saint Paul Foundation, the challenge received more than 900 ideas.
The 30 semi-finalists, in alphabetical order:
Bike-Connect St. Paul
Submitted by: Amy Schroeder Ireland, Saint Paul, MN
Bike-Connect Saint Paul will create a series of permanent outdoor maps of St. Paul's major bike routes. The maps will be installed at major bike-route intersections and the routes on the maps will be color coded, like a subway system (i.e. green line, orange line, red line), with matching color-coded signs installed along the routes. If routes aren’t connected to one another or to a significant destination, then Amy will find a way to connect them.
