Introducing...The Spermacycle!

For all Eco-Moms and Eco-Mom Wannabes Everywhere...

Nordisk Cryobank (European Sperm Bank)is one of Europe's leading sperm banks and the company was looking at environmentally-friendly alternatives to how they could transport their sperm samples to the fertility clinics around Greater Copenhagen.

The company's CEO, Peter Bower, says, "The first idea was how we could deliver to the fertility clinics in a C02-friendly way. Shortly afterwards followed the idea of a custom-designed bike with a cooling system. Now, six months later, we can cycle around the city on our sperm cell bike."

Religious Leaders and NASA’s Lead Climate Scientist to “Draw Line in the Sand” at White House on Monday


Largest Group of Arrests to Date Expected

WASHINGTON, DC  (August 29, 2011) — More than 60 religious leaders and NASA’s lead climate scientist Dr. James Hansen will participate in what is expected to be the largest group of arrests to date in front of the White House on Monday as part of an ongoing protest to push President Obama to deny the permit for a proposed oil pipeline.

Monday morning, participants will lead an interfaith prayer service starting at 9 a.m. in Lafayette Park and proclaim from scripture on the sacredness of God’s creation.

When: 9:00 AM – 11:30 AM


Voices:

Spokespeople at the protest on Monday will include leading climate scientist Dr. James Hansen, and leaders of faith communities’ climate justice, environmental racism, and social witness ministries.

 

Dr. James Hansen heads the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City; Rose Berger, religious witness organizer for Sojourners;

Marie Dennis, director of Maryknoll Office of Global Concerns;

Rabbi Fred Scherlinder Dobb of Adat Shalom Reconstructionist Congregation;
