Save The Green, Save The World

Any of about 10,000 – 12,000 species (division Filicophyta) of nonflowering vascular plants that have true roots, stems, and complex leaves and reproduce by spores. Though ferns were once classified with the primitive horsetails and club mosses, botanists have since made a clear distinction between the scalelike, one-veined leaves of those plants and the more complexly veined fronds of the ferns, which are more closely related to the leaves of seed plants. Ferns come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes. Many are small, fragile plants; others are treelike (see tree fern). The life cycle is characterized by an alternation of generations between the mature, fronded form (the sporophyte) familiar in greenhouses and gardens and the form that strongly resembles a moss or liverwort (the gametophyte). Ferns are popular houseplants.

We’re Green, We’re Green… Oh, Did I Mention We’re Green? Now Buy From Us! by OzTech
This whole ‘green’ thing has gotten a little out of hand. The trend right now is caring for the environment.

If a company plants a tree at their campus headquarters, a press release is immediately sent out to capitalize on this fad. Here are a few recent examples.

Extreme Green Sports: Bungee Jumping with Vines - EarthFirst
If you thought normal bungee jumping with harnesses and ropes that have been extensively safety-tested is scary, check this out: tribe members (including children as young as 7 years old) jumping from wooden structures using nothing but jungle vines. Oh yeah, and there’s no net of any kind. The jumpers often graze the ground below. The slightest error could cripple or kill them.
