It’s probably the only zoological gardens that can boast of having its own Rat Pack.
At The Living Desert in Palm Desert, Frank, Dean and Sammy are real rats who are put to work daily in the Wildlife Wonders Show in the Tennity Amphitheater.
From birds of prey to small mammals - such as the desert rats - the show features a few of the animals that make this unusual park home.
As the crowd waited for a recent animal show to begin, they were serenaded by a Frank Sinatra recording. How appropriate, I thought, for nearby Palm Springs was a stomping ground for some of the original Rat Pack, including Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr.
But the stars at this zoological preserve and garden are of a different kind - plants and animals found in one of the most forbidding environments: the desert.
...Going Green Tips | Top Ten » Landscaping Blog | Landscape Design
Going green tips and ideas. There are literally thousands of green living practices that can be applied to our daily lives. Do a search for anything green and the results are overwhelming. You’ll see things like “how to build a wind generator” or “how to create solar panels”, “how to make your own cleaning solutions”, or “how to build an electric car that runs on batteries”. Still, as I look around me, I don’t see much of this going on and I only see a few other eco tips and ideas that are actually being practiced.
So, from a realistic point of view, what are the top ten eco-green principles that are actually being practiced….., at least in my own city? While I’m sure that bigger cities are creating more awareness because of necessity, the stats are probably still close to the same. While eventually we will all be forced to observe all the fine details of living a green lifestyle, there are a few practices that are becoming a common part of everyday life. Besides being easy to add to our lives and routines, a few of these practices are the result of forced awareness and implementation which is why they’ve become common.
