Mother Nature Network And not only are they giving a bike route to wherever you want to go but they're accounting for how fast different people pedal, changes in elevation, and even fatigue probability. How cool is that?

Now you can find routes that avoid big hills and heavily congested areas, as well as locate bike trails.

Mother Nature Network Think that driving a hybrid, drinking soy milk, and buying only free-range eggs is earth-friendly? Turns out maybe yes, maybe no.

Mother Nature Network Seriously? Over 100 million birds are killed annually by glass windows (and that's just in the U.S.)

I love mother nature, but I don't understand why you would even bring up this point. Highlighting a story like this makes us nature lovers look like kooks. Think about all the bugs you kill just by walking. Sometimes other creatures are just going to have to adapt. Like us humans are expected too.
