Fire Tornado in Brazil, Aracatuba

Submitted by JoeOfTheJungle on Sat, 08/28/2010 - 02:50

I just seen the footage of this powerful and fierce, fire tornado. A tornado made of fire! What an insane phenomenon! This sets the truth that "firestorm" isn't just a figure of speech. This has got to be one of the most unique and symbolic eco disasters of all time.

Could this have anything to do with the Seven Fires Prophecy? Hmm, I think some additional reading can be found below.

If you like it or not, we are all eco-friendly, somewhat, since we are all biodegradable.

Ummm, what category do I put this tip in LOL?

What can you do with an old mattress box frame?

Submitted by JoeOfTheJungle on Tue, 07/13/2010 - 18:01

Today I got the honor of helping a friend move into his new house and at the end of the day, we were left with a few mattress box frames. You know, the things that go underneath the mattresses.

Knowing that the garbage collector wouldn't pick them up and there was no room to store them, we decided to break one open and see what's inside.

Sadly, there was nothing exciting inside, and in fact, it was a lot of nothing for something so big.

Here's what we got from one mattress box frame:

Use Kijiji to find old junk that people are giving away for FREE

You all know the common saying, "another persons trash, is another mans treasure".

People get rid of good stuff and material for many different reasons, so why not reuse what we can instead of always buying something new.

This tip will also save you a few cents!!!

BP Oil Spill

Submitted by JoeOfTheJungle on Thu, 07/08/2010 - 11:39

Well, it's been quite a while since Tuesday, April 20, 2010 when the BP oil spill occurred. Now, there is news that the oil has washed up on the sand of nearby beaches. This disaster is taking way too long to fix and I don't understand why. Last time I checked, lots of money always fixes everything.

Any predictions for when this leak will be fixed?

Live like a caveman to cure depression and global warming?

Submitted by JoeOfTheJungle on Sat, 06/19/2010 - 14:50

The idea of living like a caveman to cure depression makes a lot of sense to me and also Psychologist Stephen Ilardi. Not that I have been pondering about it a lot, but if you skim the surface for a second, and not judge me as a lunatic, answer me this, what are people most commonly depressed about? Working, paying bills, going to school, lacking sleep, not spending enough time with loved ones... just to name a few. I can't imagine the average caveman having these types of problems on his/her daily basis.

Solar panels: Are they really worth it? See calculation to see when they become worth it

Submitted by JoeOfTheJungle on Sat, 06/19/2010 - 14:45

So many websites are saying, “it’s time to go solar”, “you will save a lot of money”, but when will you actually save? I have done a quick calculation to explain to you when you start saving money with solar energy. I recommend you use your own numbers for a more accurate calculation because it will vary slightly in your situation depending on your monthly bill and how much it will cost to have a solar system installed on your home or cottage.

Here are the numbers and the math to show you when it becomes “worth it.”

1) My average (from the 2007 year) electric bill is $160/month
