Halloween is a scary day and it has very little to do with the ghouls and gremlins. Well, actually, it does, but not in the way you might think. Halloween is the first of the fall holidays that lead to an uptick in waste production among Americans. Each Halloween, Americans spend about $40 per person on candy, decorations, greeting cards and costumes. But what becomes of the rubber masks, candy wrappers, artificial cobwebs, plastic cauldrons, vinyl witch noses and spooky lawn decorations on November 1st? A lot of it ends up in the garbage and sugar-addled kids start counting down...

Back in May, when she was still famously known as “George Clooney’s Girlfriend”, model Elisabetta Canalis posed for a series of sultry photos as part of PETA’s “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaign. Four months later, the 33-year-old no longer is attached to the famous movie star, but is set to capture the hearts of Americans on her own as a contestant on the new season of “Dancing with the Stars”. And there’s perhaps no better way to make her an early favorite than with the release of those new PETA ads. I decided to go nude because I...
Filmmakers Dan Susman and Andrew Monbouquette set out this summer to learn about urban agriculture and how it is affecting the urban-rural divide in America. Urban agriculture is just what it sounds like: utilizing urban space in order to cultivate food. The movement has met with sporadic success, but has been picking up steam in the last few years. There are even some extremes, such as the urban forager, who uses existing urban plant life as sources for food. Here’s the trailer for the in-progress film (the duo is currently making their way out of Atlanta): Growing Cities It’s amazing to...
