Eco-Logical Adventures: October 2009
http://eco-logicalgirl.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Musings and more from an ecologically minded girl. Friday, October 16, 2009. Take a Break - It's Friday. I originally posted this on my blog for work, but I decided it was applicable here, too. Especially since this blog serves mainly a different audience - an audience I've been neglecting! I don't know about you, but this week has been a very busy one. We are in the full throes of our Annual Conference. Preparation, recovering from being gone all last week. And the family. Saturday night my sister a...

http://eco-logicalgirl.blogspot.com/2010/01/do-honey-bees-hibernate.html
Musings and more from an ecologically minded girl. Tuesday, January 12, 2010. Do Honey Bees Hibernate? This got me to thinking. Where do honey bees go in the winter time? Why had these bees unfortunately strayed too far from warmth and safety and perished in front of my home? Style when the males watching the eggs during the coldest months of antarctic winter form a rotating huddle and move in and out of the huddle to keep each other warm. Bug Info - Where Do Insects Go in the Winter? With his fears....

Eco-Logical Adventures: Environmental Literature
http://eco-logicalgirl.blogspot.com/2008/11/environmental-literature.html
Musings and more from an ecologically minded girl. Saturday, November 1, 2008. Every person who has studied or has interest in environmental science has undoubtedly read several books on the matter. I have compiled a list of environmental literature that I have read over the years. Each has contributed to and affected me in forming my own opinions about environmental issues that confront us everyday. Here are some of my favorites:. A Sand County Almanac. Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. Changes in the Land.

Eco-Logical Adventures: September 2009
http://eco-logicalgirl.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Musings and more from an ecologically minded girl. Friday, September 11, 2009. Over Labor Day weekend I finally hiked to Lake Blanche. Lake Blanche is 3 miles up a side canyon up Big Cottonwood Canyon, just below the big S-curves. I regret to say that I have lived in Salt Lake City my entire life and this is the first time I have ventured here. I have been missing out! The trail switches back through many aspen groves. First view of Lake Blanche. Lake Blanche with Sundial Peak high above. Subscribe To Ec...

Eco-Logical Adventures: April 2009
http://eco-logicalgirl.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Musings and more from an ecologically minded girl. Thursday, April 30, 2009. When to Plant those Tomatoes. I am just starting my first garden, but I already know that when to plant your tomatoes (and other similar plants) is always a big topic of discussion among Utah gardeners. Planting them too soon will probably lead to dead, frost-bitten plants. Waiting too long can lead to a shorter growing time, which means less delicious, juicy red fruits for salads, sandwiches, and sauces. Labels: Green it Up.

Eco-Logical Adventures: Bio-fuels
http://eco-logicalgirl.blogspot.com/2009/11/bio-fuels.html
Musings and more from an ecologically minded girl. Tuesday, November 10, 2009. Bio-fuels seem to be a hot topic lately. People say we need an alternative to gasoline, and I would agree. But some major figures promote bio-fuels as a viable alternative - something to bridge the gap between the gasoline dependent lifestyle of today to the clean fuels of tomorrow. I have heard many people, from President Obama to the commercials on televsion, promote the use of biofuels to bridge this "gap.". I would be inte...
