In past articles we have talked about green burials and how they are able to help the environment. Green burials are also helpful for your wallet. By going green you can save yourself from many of the expensive funeral costs. Two ways to go green and save money when paying for a funeral are: 1. skip embalming. 2. seek a cemetery that doesnât require use of a burial liner or a burial vault (natural burial grounds are great for this!) On average if you cut these two expenses you can save around $1,900.

Kirkpatrick Macmillan is best known for inventing the first pedal bicycle. Synopsis Born on September 2, 1812, in Keir Mill, Thornhill, Scotland, Kirkpatrick Macmillan was a blacksmith who, in 1837, built a dandy horseâa kind of bicycle on which the rider pushes himself along with his feet. Three years later, Macmillan had applied a crank to his machine, making the world's first pedal cycle. The machine also included a wooden frame and iron-tired wheels. Macmillan's invention was never patented, and for many years it was credited to one of his imitators, Gavin Dalzell. Macmillan died in his hometown on January 26, 1878.
