Eco Lager
The blog I read was about an eco lager than is made from organic hops and UK barley. Being an eco lager, it still gives nice head. It is quite crisp despited being full bodied and very refreshing. This lager is available in good alcoholic retailers in the U.S. for about $3.50.
My opinion of this product is that it is very eco-friendly and very tasteful (I assume). This product is the future of green alcoholic beverages. If every brewery would use organic hops and be more eco-friendly, we could cut down on greenhouse gases.

Grow Mushrooms from Books?
I read a blog by LifeGoggles about growing mushrooms in an old book. All you need is a starter kit which you can buy at Nigel's Eco Store. The kit contains: a pack of mushroom starter spawn, filter grow-bag, and full instructions. I find this to be an incredible idea. It is better than throwing out an old book and will help you grow your own mushrooms, which you can eat or turn into styrene. This clearly relates to class because we were just talking about replacing styrofoam with mushrooms. Mushrooms will help to make packaging materials and can be used as a different source of styrene.
I tried putting a picture in here but it was being ignorant, so if you want to see pictures, go to one of the following links: (They are really neat.)

Cheap and Environmentally-Friendly Bath
I found this link on Google Reader. I was scrolling down to find an article to use for my blog when I stumbled upon this photo. It made me laugh, and then I realized that I could use it for my blog. It is a guy using a back hoe to take a bath. He is merely using some pond water, a back hoe, and some fire. He does not use a hot water heater or waste any water. 
My personal opinion of this article is that it is quite disgusting and would probably get too hot after a while, so bathe fast I guess. I would probably never do this or even consider doing this.
This article is relevant to what we are doing in class because talks about saving water and not using unnecessary resources.
