Filed under: Celebrities , Food , Activism As Josh mentioned the other day, Paul McCartney is sort of known for converting women one by one to vegetarianism . Now he’s broadening his range, and encouraging everyone to boycott McDonald’s . McCartney singled out the chain for criticism after discovering that an over-ambitious dining room decorator placed a photo of the Beatles in a McDonald’s restaurant in Liverpool. You’d think that someone who liked the Beatles enough to hang a photo would also know that Paul’s a prominent vegetarian. As in, he’s President of the Vegetarian Society of Great Britain. Obviously, he was pissed, and he wants all of his fans to help him spank the golden arches. What can I say? Paul’s one of my two favorite Beatles! It’s been a while since I’ve ventured into a McDonald’s and now it’s going to be lot longer. Like maybe... never .

Well, I have been playing music for a long time now. I got my first guitar when I was about 10, which was in 1964. It was an acoustic from Sears. A Silvertone. It didn’t take long to warp, but allowed me to learn some basics. I next moved into electric guitars. After several low end electrics, I was getting pretty serious about playing by the 70’s. A couple of years after graduation, I bought a Les Paul Custom gold top electric. I think it was adound 1974, and the guitar is a 1971. ... more

The wallpaper on the page featuring a $6,000 dollar Italian-crafted bed was newspaper. As she noted, if it was recycled newspaper, the cost was minimal. Motivated by the possibilities of recycled design, Stephanie created a list of idea... more
Filed under: News How do you convince big-name companies to build their stores and office buildings on top of heavily polluted land? It’s easier than you think. First, come up with a more pleasing name for these sites than "heavily polluted former trash dump." In this case, " brownfield " does the trick. And second, you start a "Brownfield Reimbursement Program," wherein you convince the builders to overhaul the sites before they build, and let them recoup 75% of the cleanup c... more
