Natural Pest Control

Posted August 18, 2009 - 11:17am by tmlmorris

I've had great luck stopping ant invasions by creating a barrier of cinnamon where they're trying to come in. I leave the cinnamon for a few hours to discourage them and then sweep it up. If the ants come back, I will leave a thin layer of cinnamon in their path for a few days. It works every time and eliminates the need for toxic bug spray.

Recycling in National Park Campgrounds

Every weekend thousands of eager campers fill our National Park campgrounds stocked with coolers full of potentially recyclable materials which inevitably end up in the park service dumpsters when they leave.

What can we do to make a change here?

What's your carbon footprint?

Posted May 1, 2009 - 8:58pm by colora22

A carbon footprint is a measure of the impact our activities have on the environment, and in particular climate change. It relates to the amount of greenhouse gases produced in our day-to-day lives through burning fossil fuels for electricity, heating and transportation etc.

The carbon footprint is a measurement of all greenhouse gases we individually produce and has units of tonnes (or kg) of carbon dioxide equivalent.
