Costa Rica set a world record, relying solely on renewable energy for
100 percent of its power for the first 75 days of the year (and counting,

generation – so heavy rains were a help. Costa Rica also gets
geothermal energy from volcanoes, and taps biomass, solar, and wind.

base). Last year only six percent of its power came from nonrenewable
sources.

provide towels and enough soap for the washroom at work - before

Today a marshmallow is a spongy treat cooked over campfires. But up
until the mid-1800s, marshmallow candy was used medicinally. Doctors
extracted juice from the roots of the marshmallow plant and cooked it
with egg whites and sugar, then whipped it into a foamy meringue. The
mixture then hardened, and the resulting candy soothed children’s sore
throats. Eventually, advanced manufacturing processes replaced the
root juice with gelatin, which eliminated any healing properties.

George O’key was wandering through a public park, in Middlesbrough,
England, when he decided to stop and read the plaque on its old war
memorial. It was an unsettling experience. There, he found his own
name on the honor roll of local Britons who’d died in World War II. Oh,
