This week in links

The Story of Stuff. Breaks down the consumption and production chain so you can really see what the production process is. What does that iPod go through to get from nothing to the something in your hand. I liked it because it explains things in basic English and goes at a fairly brisk pace.

YES! spotlights the visionary ideas and practical actions for building a just, sustainable, and compassionate world.

The Monthly UnEconomist by Jeffrey Morris contains information and analyses of market and non-market economic and environmental impacts. Unfortunately, a lot of these sites are US-centric. I could use any suggestions to Canada-centric ones or ones that focus on the world in general.

This is a cool little blog about Baking Soda. Ah yes, the many uses of baking soda are interesting and sometimes obvious but if you want to start minimising your impact on the environment, here's a good start. The site also contains lots of other interesting tips as well as how to make your home a little healthier. Especially after all that bacon, I figure I can do with a little more healthy.

List of Common Misconceptions is pretty interesting.  Is you read this, you can be that person at the party that says "Um, actually..." a lot.

Hangover cure? You tell me.
