"Great Migrations" Debuts This Sunday on the Nat Geo Channel

Before you head out the door to your weekend, we can't not remind you to tune into the National Geographic Channel on Sunday, November 7 at 8 pm for the global premiere of Great Migrations.

Great Migrations is a seven-episode documentary series that spans the globe as it documents the unbelievable journeys animals undertake to survive. The series was three years in the making. Sunday's debut episode, "Born to Move," tracks the migrations of four species: sperm whales cruising millions of miles in a lifetime, red crabs facing daily dangers, monarchs traversing a continent in four generations, and wildebeest risking it all against crocodiles.

For print coverage of great migrations, check out National Geographic magazine's November feature story and our very own Traveler take on them, plus a photo gallery and tips on how to travel to see some of these epic journeys yourself. Or, consider a Great Migrations book for either kids or grown-ups.

Would you like a chance to win a trip for two with National Geographic Expeditions to see zebra migration in Botswana (value approx. $25,000), or king penguin and elephant seal migration in the Falkland Islands (value $32,000)?  Then enter our Migrations of a Lifetime sweepstakes here. 

Tune in to the first Great Migrations episode on the Channel on Sunday and let us know what you think.

Kimberly-Clark Debuts Toilet Paper Without a Tube

by Thomas Miner

Today, Kimberly-Clark unveiled its new tube-free line of toilet paper at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores throughout the northeastern U.S., eliminating the cardboard frame that the paper is traditionally wrapped on, saving millions of pounds of paper waste annually.

The company expects that the new line, which will be released under the Scott Naturals brand, will save a significant amount of resources. Kimberly-Clark estimates that the 17 billion toilet paper tubes produced per year in the U.S. alone generate 160 million pounds of waste.

While the company's Scott Naturals line features paper containing 40 percent or more recycled material, the new Tube-Free roll will be the brand's exception, at least for the near future.
