Green Living
David Mears and his wife Dorothy haven't paid a heating bill in 25 years-not one dollar, not even one cent! They haven't received a bill in 25 years, but it's not a mistake by the heating companies. Nor did they get lucky. Mears put his knowledge of alternative energy sources to good use.
Mears is a professor of Bioresource Engineering at Rutgers University. After the energy crisis in the 1970s, he built a system that would mostly end the use of fossil fuel to heat his New Jersey home. He installed a special space beneath his floor filled with water, then put in solar collectors to heat the water. On cloudy days, he could use a woodstove which used a water-heating coil. This made the system more efficient in extracting heat, so less wood was needed. As a last resort, a fossil fuel system remained in place to heat his home, but he never used it.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, more than 85% of all energy consumed in the U.S. comes from fossil fuel. This means coal, oil, and natural gas. In addition, 2,700 pounds of carbon per year per person, or 18% of greenhouse gas emissions, comes from operating individual homes. Usually it's the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system that produces the most greenhouse gases.
Mears has been able to keep his home at 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 C) or above for 25 years. It demonstrates that his energy sustainable house isn't a ridiculous or impossible idea. The technology is available for everyone. Green living is a real possibility.

Marijuana to Fight the Munchies
Overweight? Need to go on a diet? Then maybe cannabis is right for you to fight the munchies!
As crazy as it might sound, pharmaceutical companies have been experimenting with marijuana to suppress hunger. Cannabis, which is normally associated with the opposite effect, contains numerous substances in its make up. These substances are called "cannabinoids," and they affect the body differently. The same plant, for example, might stimulate hunger, but it might also stop it.
It's not surprising that drug companies are experimenting with treatments to switch off hunger in the brain. Obesity poses health problems for many countries. The U.S. and U.K., for example, recently reported a 30% incidence of obesity. Germany and Italy are even worse. Translated into a price tag, Americans spend $33 billion total per year on prescribed and over the counter weight-loss products. The U.S. also devotes 10% of its budget to obesity-related diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Obesity is the second largest preventable cause of death in the U.S.
In recent years, marijuana has gotten approval to treat other diseases. Advocates say that it provides an effective therapy for a wide range of medical problems, such as nausea, pain, and anxiety. For chemotherapy and AIDS patients, who often suffer from loss of appetite, marijuana helps. Others, however, suggest that no legitimate medical use exists, or that more effective treatments with other drugs supersede marijuana.
Human trials to fight obesity will begin sometime in the second half of 2007, and other drug companies will soon schedule similar tests.

Post-Comprehension: Talk about the following questions in pairs/groups. Remember to support your answers!
1. Do you believe that marijuana can be used to fight obesity? Why/not?
2. Is medical marijuana legal in your country? Should it be? Why/not?
3. Many people and governments feel very strongly about marijuana, even medical marijuana. Why?
4. What can be done to fight obesity instead of using marijuana? Are these methods better? Why?
5. Will other illegal drugs someday become legal for medical purposes? Why do/don't you think so?
