The pandemic struck during World War I and warring nations worried that the enemy might use the virus to its advantage, so most news reports of the outbreak were censored. Spain remained neutral during the war, and its accounts of the virus's horrific symptoms caused the illness to be nicknamed the "Spanish flu," even though scientists now believe it originated in the United States...

In principle, at least, you create energy in a way that is not just carbon neutral, but carbon negative...

Though covering away games is very important, no one would have faulted forsaking the trip in favor of seeing my last “Game” in Harvard Stadium.Others weighed in with a more neutral judgment, mentioning that we were “intense” and leaving it at that.

...commercial farms--which makes them a renewable resource more akin to a stalk of corn than to a wild Douglas fir in the forest. When a yule tree is chopped down and sold, farms will plant another one in its place, making that part of the process carbon-neutral. The fossil fuel burned to transport the trees from farm to hearth is another matter. But given that most artificial trees are manufactured and shipped from China, fakes have their fuel costs...
