Moth As Hummingbird | Green Wings Award
Nature always seems to have its little surprises. If you didn’t know any better, you’d probably chalk this up as another photo of a hummingbird feeding on a flower. It’s not though…it’s a moth that looks like a hummingbird. Pretty sneaky, right? So, for faking us out, in a good way, this moth earns our […]
Trying to Get the Fish to Quit | Green Wings Award
Now that’s definitely a cute way to encourage people to keep the beaches free of cigarette butts. We don’t want the fish to be addicted to smoking either. We’d rather have our oceans and sea life free of cigarettes, cans, straws, bottles and other plastic pollution. Happy fish, happy people, happy planet! That’s why this […]
Colorful Tomatoes on the Vine | Green Wings Award
We love this “rainbow” of tomatoes growing on the vine. So colorful! They look like they’re going to be super tasty too, don’t they? Tomatoes are one yummy treat, particularly when you are able to grow your own organic variety. For being so colorful, and for making us want to go out and start growing […]
Bicycle Bridge | Green Wings Award
I don’t know what happened to the…what I can only assume must have been a giant riding a bicycle, but at least someone was able to make good use of the wheels and spokes he left behind. Now people and animals alike have a safe way to get across this road. For being so creative, […]
Trash Into Treasure | Green Wings Award
This week’s Green Wings Award goes to this artistic fish sculpture made entirely out of washed up garbage. It really goes to show one person’s trash is another person’s treasure. Although plastic pollution (particularly in our oceans) is a very real and important issue to address, it is nice to see someone being creative in […]
Submerged Motorcycle | Green Wings Award
Congratulations to the submerged motorcycle this diver found for winning this week’s Green Wings Award. While living the remainder of its life in the water was probably not the bike’s ultimate goal, and it may have been better off being recycled, we’re glad to see it has no problem allowing sea life to hang on […]
The One Eyed Newt | Green Wings Award
This week’s Green Wings award goes to the one eyed Newt. As humans, we get support and have a community and assistance for survival when Mother Nature gives one of us a disadvantage like this. But for a Newt, you’ve just got to find a way to survive and mostly on your own. Here’s to […]
The Ice Tornado | Green Wings Award
Congratulations to this snow that melted in the shape of a tornado. When your job is to stay frozen, but the sun has a different plan, why not melt into a shape that looks like it could devastate the land? Well done Ice Tornado.
The Giant Snowflakes | Green Wings Award
A very mighty congratulations to the giant snowflakes of Switzerland who have won this week’s Green Wings Award! In most places you need a microscope or at least very high resolution eyeballs to see a snowflake, but these fellas in Switzerland are standing out just fine on their own.
The Grass That Grew Out of The Car | Green Wings Award
Congratulations to THE GRASS THAT GREW OUT OF THE CAR for winning this week’s Green Wings Award. We always love it when nature finds a way to survive in technology that has a reputation for polluting. This is a prime example, who needs, dirt or flat space? Not this grass.
