Recycling Electronics - There is a vibrant, for-profit secondary market for recent models of laptop computers, desktop computers and cell phones because these products retain significant value. Computers, monitors, TV's and other electronic goods contain hazardous materials which, when placed in a landfill, pose a threat to drinking water and may result in other environmental hazards in the future.

Vampire Power - "Phantom Load", or "Standby Power" is the creepy little name that describes what is happening when appliances remain plugged in when they aren't in use.

Eco-Friendly Cleaners - These new products are great because they work well, and your hands aren't left with a terrible bleach smell that lasts all day.

The Genesis Flood - Read specific questions and possible answers about the Genesis Flood. These reflections are an attempt to provide solutions that may be helpful to understanding earth history.

Aggressive Coyotes - Coyotes tend to avoid human contact. But recently, coyotes have been getting increasingly aggressive in the eastern United States, including southeastern New York state, attacking neighborhood pets on the fringe of urban and suburban areas.

Making Plastics From Oranges - A Cornell University research group has made a sweet and environmentally beneficial discovery -- how to make plastics from citrus fruits, such as oranges, and carbon dioxide.

The Ice Age - Read specific questions and possible answers about the Ice Age. These reflections are an attempt to provide solutions that may be helpful to understanding earth history.

Organic vs. Conventional Farming - Organic farming produces the same yields of corn and soybeans as does conventional farming, but uses 30 percent less energy, less water and no pesticides, a review of a 22-year farming trial study concludes.

The Pesticide Picture - Many fruits and vegetables test positive for pesticide residues, with about one-third of them showing up with multiple residues. Research reveals that prolonged exposure to pesticide residues may increase the risk of various cancers and neurological problems (such as Parkinson's disease), and impair the immune system.

Alternative Energy News - Now that the cost of fuel is as high as it is, more money is being funneled into research for alternative fuels. This is one of the positive spin-offs of an otherwise negative situation. Read what others are doing to solve the fuel crunch.

Tending God's Creation - Christians are hardly known as a passive group when it comes to politics, debates and the issues of our time. Yet when it comes to issues concerning the environment, Christians usually scoff for one reason or another.

Environmental Ethics - I wasn't sure what to think of the professor's grave warnings about deforestation in South America. He assured us that if then-current rates of deforestation continued, our atmosphere would be radically altered with excessive amounts of carbon dioxide.

Who Cares About the Earth? - I live in a forest in Pennsylvania. In the clearing around my house, I have thirty fruit trees and lots of berries. I guess you could say I'm an organic grower, as I've never sprayed them with insecticides.

Conflicts With Black Bears - Living with neighbors takes on a whole new meaning when the neighbor is a black bear that wanders over uninvited for dinner and ransacks garbage cans, bird feeders and pet food dishes from decks and yards.

Protecting Wildlife - With Spring right around the corner, you have probably started thinking of outdoor activities like gardening, landscaping and general property maintenance. To help make your outdoor plans as pleasant as possible, let me suggest that you remember that wildlife are looking forward to the Spring too.
