The Environmentalist in you


 
The news tells us of different calamities happening in different parts of the world - calamities brought about by the exploitations done on the environment. Our actions are coming back to haunt us and if we're not careful, we will soon feel Mother Nature's fury.

The release of Eco Friendly bags has made a major impact in society. More and more people are becoming aware and concerned. Supermarkets in Australia are now encouraging people to bring their own shopping bags in an effort to lessen the use of plastics. These Enviro bags are recyclable bags that are used as a replacement instead. They come in a wide variety to choose from. One of which are the Calico Bags. Calico bags are made from organic cotton and other natural materials making them durable, strong and reusable. Designs come in carry bags, tote bags or messenger bags. With these bags, you get to choose which style suits you and you can even design it to your own preference. It's a customized bag and a recyclable one at that.

With little efforts of saving the environment from people across the globe, we just might appease Mother Nature once again. Maybe we don't even need to feel her fury anymore. That will definitely be something we can do without.

This Is It by Michael Jackson

The famous "Dancing Inmates" from Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center, a maximum security prison in the Philippines, were recently treated to a visit by Michael Jackson's long-time choreographer Travis Payne and dancers Daniel Celebre and Dres Reid to learn performances from This Is It.

Sony Pictures' Fritz Friedman tells USA TODAY's Mike Snider, "We thought it would be a great idea to pay homage to MJ on the occasion of the release of This Is It by going to Cebu and having Travis work with the dancers to create this piece which is from the film."

Unfortunately, it wasn't done in time to go on the DVD and Blu-Ray discs, which are out today. But Sony Pictures DVD did post this on YouTube.
