During the Silurian Period of earth’s evolution (443-418 million years ago, MYA), the first vascular, upright-growing land plants started to green the landscape and, in the process, grab carbon [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Does good will blossom at this time of year? When gift giving is pushed upon us by stores everywhere large and small, on-line or in malls, if we take away the guilt factor from beneath the Christmas tree are we left with anything?
