		<title>Thanks, San Francisco</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Out of all the cities I&#8217;ve visited in the past few months, San Francisco is by far the most polite, fun, and interesting. From the Frido Kahlo exhibit today at the SFMoMA to the Yank Sing dim sum, everything is above and beyond I expected. I didn&#8217;t know muni station attendants would be polite and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hempsters: Plant the Seed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since the 1950s, the American government has outlawed (you need a permit from the DEA) the growing and distribution of hemp. Even after the WWII campaign, &#8220;Hemp for Victory,&#8221; our government has prevented us from using this wonder crop for many unfounded reasons. This month the movie, Hempsters: Plant the Seed, will be released at [...]]]></description>

		<title>How To Report Phishing and Spam</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everyone receives spam in their email account at one point or another, and while most of us mark the email as spam and move on, there is another step that we can take to stop these pests: reporting the fraudulent emails.

		<title>Helping Pets Holistically</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many of us are lucky enough to be owned by cats and dogs, but what happens when they develop an illness that traditional veterinary medicine can not cure? Just like people, our furry friends can develop stress-related problems and even food allergies, which is when we need to be open to alternative measures to improve [...]]]></description>

		<title>Today&#8217;s Daily Peace: Forgiveness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Forgiveness does not mean inviting the person who hurt you to dinner, it means letting go of the hurt that could be directing your life.

		<title>The 100-Mile Diet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The 100-mile diet, based on a US and Canadian book, is the story of truly eating locally for one year. According to 100milediet.org, &#8220;when the average North American sits down to eat, each ingredient has typically travelled at least 1,500 miles—call it &#8216;the SUV diet.&#8217;&#8221; The creators figure that a &#8220;100-mile radius is large enough [...]]]></description>

		<title>Carbon Neutral Costa Rica</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In an effort to be the world&#8217;s first carbon-neutral nation, Costa Rica is halting deforestation and attempting to plant seven million trees during 2008. There will be 1.5 trees for every Costa Rican and will break even on expending greenhouse gas emissions. Even though Costa Rica is not a leading greenhouse gas producer, this &#8220;Plant [...]]]></description>

		<title>TEAL is the Word Ya Hurd</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My good friend Jeff Deck was in need of a road trip full of awesome experiences to write about while waiting for entry to an MFA program, so he took off across the country hunting down typos and correcting them.

		<title>The Scuppie Manifesto</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So this isn&#8217;t my own coined term, but I&#8217;m all about manifestos and this one is pretty cool. The Scuppie (socially conscious upwardly mobile person) being referred to is a combination of yuppie and hippie culture, or basically hippies with money that still want to do good while looking good. Everywhere the word Scuppie is [...]]]></description>
