Posted in Go Green. Plant Green
With global warming being felt worldwide, we are suffering from the misuse of the environment. Unpredictable weather changes, floods, drought and severe climate changes are just a few of the things we are experiencing right now. Fortunately, governments and citizens are becoming increasingly aware of everything and are trying to launch projects to save whatever is left of the environment. The question is – will it work? Would it have an effect? Is it too late?
The Reuse. Reduce. Recycle. program has been launched and several local city governments are using it in full force. In certain communities, if garbage is not segregated, there will be no garbage collection.
Plant Green = Plant Trees is a program launched by mountain side municipalities as well. For low-lying lands with scarce water supply, a vegetable and tree Ooze Tube would be a useful tool.

4. Readily adaptable to remote installation.

It seems I just came to know the woman, Annie Leibovitz, behind the famous photographs in the Rolling Stones and Vanity Fair magazine covers. I came to discover her because of an article I stumbled upon citing her financial problems – and that she risks losing her catalogue of pictures!
The pictures are valued over $50M as of writing.
Who would ever forget these?
John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s cover on Rolling Stone Magazine. Five hours after the photo shoot ended, John Lennon was shot dead.
Demi Moore’s very pregnant beautiful self.
Whoopi Goldberg’s submerged in a tub of milk.
