The Wovel is the perfect marriage between a wheel and a snow shovel. It’s not just a cool looking tool though. It’s also probably the best snow shoveler ever made. Some of its features include:

Can clear away snow three times faster than a regular snow shovel
Is designed to greatly reduce the risk of straining your back
Adjusts to your own size and strength
Makes it super easy to throw the snow wherever you want

Katharine Mieszkowski over at Salon does a nice job of reporting on noise pollution. She discusses the health effects of noise pollution and finds some interesting people along her way. Including Henry Bean, the director of Noise, a movie about noise pollution in New York, starring Tim Robbins.

It’s no secret that most fruits and vegetables are grown using pesticides to help keep bugs from ruining our beautiful, abnormally large, genetically modified, shiny red apples. That’s why organic fruits and vegetables have become popular — there’s a desire to not die off early or have offspring with 3 arms. Fortunately, there are some vegetables that are okay to eat, even if they’re not organic — imagine that! Those fruits and vegetables include:

Asparagus
Avocados
Bananas
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Corn
Kiwi
Mango
Onions
Papaya
Pineapples
Peas

However, after digging deeper (actually reading their marketing copy), it ends up that the design is actually ergonomic – designed to relieve stress on your body and improve posture.
