The Sociology of Burials: Green Burials I happened to stumble upon an unusual PBS documentary recently called Will for the Woods (2013).

Sam Ferguson Getting Green Done I was born and raised in Aspen‚ Colorado so this book was a very interesting read for me. It was a definite page-turner and I could easily bust out 100 pages without having to look at the clock.

It is amazing to think about how serious this climate change problem and how quickly it could reach critical mass. To think of

The green revolution is discussed in Paarlberg‚ and it highlights how the green revolution did two different things in two different locations‚ Asia and Latin America. While it stimulated the well-being of the poor in Asia it widened the gap between the wealthy and the poor in Latin America. These two places had different experiences with the battle against hunger but they both experienced negative environmental effects. I think that the negative effects on the environment that the green revolution
