Taking a leaf out of Google’s book (they use goats at their Mountain View headquarters), the University of San Francisco has recruited a herd of hungry goats to tidy up the weeds and prevent fire on campus.
According to an article on KTVU.com, the goats were hired from San Francisco-based City Grazing, and are perfect for those hard-to-reach areas, such as steep hillsides and areas with a lot of brush or poison oak.
More than just eco-friendly, USF Environmental Safety Manager Joe Murphy said they’re quiet, efficient, cute and the neighbors love them.

We love it when we come across products that are sophisticated, unique, cheeky, beautifully designed and practical. So when we discovered Plank, an innovative company that is creating a collection of recyclable yoga mats that embody humor, originality and, dare we say, urban chic, we jumped on them right away. There’s only one catch - they’re not available until August! But, we are able to get 25 delivered to us by the end of June so if you’re desperate to get your hands on one, get in touch to pre-order, or comment below, otherwise, you’ll have to wait until August. Prices for photo series (Plank, Cobra, Pill and Shag) $85, Text series (Bling, Me and Chocolate) $65.
Take a look at these gorgeous yoga mats:
