>> Roger Ebert’s “How I believe in God”: “I have never said, although readers have freely informed me I am an atheist, an agnostic, or at the very least a secular humanist–which I am. If I don’t believe God exists, that doesn’t mean I believe God doesn’t exist. Nor does it mean I don’t know, which implies that I could know…. No, I am not a Buddhist. I am not a believer, not an atheist, not an agnostic. I am still awake at night, asking how? I am more content with the question than I would be with an answer.”

>> Caffeinated eco-shrooms. ZERI Foundation’s coffee-pulp-to-mushrooms project uses a waste product — coffee pulp that’s a pollutant at worst and low-quality fertilizer at best — to grow mushrooms, giving coffee growers protein-rich food, an additional source of income, and livestock feed. The project won Specialty Coffee Association of the Americas’ 2009 Sustainability Award.

>> Wonder waterwall. Eager to capture free rainwater to water gardens with, Susan Carpenter bought Waterwall, “an easy-on-the-eyes product that does exactly what its name implies. It’s a wall that catches and stores water — beautifully.” Unfortunately, these walls are really, really expensive; rain barrels catch less water — but are certainly a lot more affordable in this economy.
