The coffee berry borer beetle thrives in warm weather, which the world is seeing a lot more of lately. When the temperatures in South America climb, the beetle is able to spread to more locations, destroying coffee crops along the way. Farmers haven’t yet found a way to kill the pest, so for now, coffee drinkers should do their best to work against climate change and global warming.

Sex sells. And the Center for Biological Diversity is using that to full advantage with their hilarious Endangered Species Condoms. They’re distributing 350,000 of the rubbers through volunteers in all 50 states in an effort to help spread the message that human population growth is driving species extinction. The slogans on these prophylactic wrappers are some of the funniest ways we’ve seen to communicate the contraceptive conceit: via geekosystem.com Post from: BlissTree Have Sex to Save Animals: Endangered Species Condoms (Source: Breastfeeding 1-2-3) Breastfeeding 1-2-3 blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3436249 Fri, 02 Apr 2010 19:20:09 +0100 3436249 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2249985&cid=t_403983_117_f&fid=38158&url=http%3A%2F%2Famericanacupuncture.blogspot.com%2F2009%2F03%2Fallergy-to-red-food-dyes.html As a medical physician for over 50 years, I strive to give you the best medical information on controversial medical subjects and let you the reader come to your own conclusions.  I have no ties to any organization, pharmaceutical, or lobby group.
