They’re handmade works of art, and are made of jungle-renewable materials which, because the growing season never ends in the tropics of Indonesia, the island of Bali will always have the resources for their manufacture readily available right outside the front door of the workshop–things such as bamboo, seeds, leaves and pressed flowers.

On top of that, because they are organic photo albums, they don’t have the dangerous chemicals (polyvinyl chlorides, or PVCs) in them that are in the plastic pages of many photo albums found in your local drug store, your photos will be safe for decades to come, instead of getting bleached out over time.

Summing up–no damage to your photos, no damage to the environment. On top of that, they are very affordable. Why not stop in today and look around? Order $75 or more, and we pay the shipping and handling for you.

Immediately after the quake, there was no safe drinking water in almost every place. People have no choice but spend nights in crowded streets along with corpses. There was no place for human waste. Port Au Prince, in an instant became the best place for diseases to thrive. People need medical attention but hospitals were devastated as well, and help was limited although men and women in scrub tops flooded in.

New Delhi, India (AHN) – Indian Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh does not want any more SUVs on the road because, in his opinion, these “gas-guzzling” four-wheelers are no less than “criminal” considering the carbon footprint they leave on the country’s environment.

Ramesh, known for his activism in support of environment conservation, has long been a “green” advocate in India. In India, almost 7.5 percent of the total greenhouse emissions come from the transport sector and that number is expected to grow by 15 percent in the coming years.

Now, Ramesh has launched an attack on the manufacturers and owners of these vehicles, as he called for reforming India’s diesel fuel policies which give tax breaks for certain vehicles.

Speaking at a United Nations function on Friday, Ramesh said, “The luxurious growth of large-size vehicles like SUVs is really a growth of concern… use of vehicles like SUVs and BMW in countries like India is criminal.”

He stressed upon the “need to think about fuel policy regime… We are subsidizing diesel. We have reformed policy as far as petrol is concerned. We are yet to reform as far as the net effect of diesel subsidy is concerned.”

Ramesh has even gone so far as to call for a penalty to be put on luxurious SUVs. According to him, an “effective fiscal policy” would certainly impact the sale and use of such cars in India.
