Carbon Neutral, Natural Flooring With Real Wood Floors

Through the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are absorbed from the atmosphere, and oxygen is released back into the atmosphere. This process makes wood -- and wood floors -- a carbon neutral product. In addition, wood flooring actually stores carbon throughout its service life, adding to its carbon neutral status.

Impact of Global Warming in the Arctic May Differ From Predictions

The impact of global warming in the Arctic may differ from the predictions of computer models of the region, according to a pair of Penn State biologists. The team -- which includes Eric Post, a Penn State associate professor of biology, and Christian Pederson, a Penn State graduate student -- has shown that grazing animals will play a key role in reducing the anticipated expansion of shrub growth in the region, thus limiting their predicted and beneficial carbon-absorbing effect.
