We are totally GEEKING OUT over the programming we caught this week on the radio and TV.

This image made available by NASA shows the amount of summer sea ice in the Arctic on Sunday, Sept. 16, 2012, at center in white, and the 1979 to 2000 average extent for the day shown, with the yellow line. (AP /U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center)The first bit of incredible news is a startling story and conversation about the melting ice in the Arctic. If you have a few minutes while helping mom + dad get dinner ready, give this a listen: http://onpoint.wbur.org/2012/09/24/a-new-low-for-arctic-ice

The second bit I stumbled upon last night on PBS. It's a NOVA program series called "Making Stuff:". (If you think PBS is for nerds, think again. Don't forget how cool Elmo is and he's on PBS!) The episode I caught is called "Making Stuff: Cleaner". Watch this with the whole family because it is fascinating!! Serious science and a few laughs along the way, thanks to the host David Pogue. (P.S. I learned so much.) http://video.pbs.org/video/1768954299/

Scientist are working hard to help our environment. Let's hope that each new year will bring changes to our markets that will help make our environment healthier. We all need help to learn to live ZERO WASTE lives.
Have a fabulous 3 day weekend, friends!
