Point of View: ChapterTen: "The Land of The Living"

... son, my little boy, is ten years old. A whole decade has passed since I first held him. I feel horrible knowing that this decade has for the most part been darkened with pain. This is not an environment I wished or imagined Leighton would grow up in. I know there is nothing I could’ve done to prevent the cancer that ate away at Griffin, but I still blame myself for the childish actions I took in ...

... see at any company like this," said Jay Sabatucci, manager of animal services with the city of Arlington. "Animals were not fed, not fed properly, overcrowded and attacking each other. Some were in an environment not proper for them, such as snakes in a 72-degree room with a lamp over them, which is not enough heat and could cause them to die." The company's warehouse held mostly reptiles and ...

China Wrecked Copenhagen Negotiations?

... room and saw it happen. China's strategy was simple: block the open negotiations for two weeks, and then ensure that the closed-door deal made it look as if the west had failed the world's poor once again. And sure enough, the aid agencies, civil society movements and environmental groups all took the bait. http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/dec/22/copenhagen-climate-change-mark-lynas

Copenhagan and all that

One wonders what the point of having world leaders is, if they cannot, in fact, lead the world? So, we brief them all up, send them off to Copenhagan in their fancy-pants fuel guzzelling planes to try and sort out this whole climate change thing which everyone agrees is really rather important. All on our tax money, of course. And what do they do? Bicker like school-children, leave in a huff, ...

Solar Villages

One nifty thing about renewable energy is that it's scattered all over the Earth. A given source may not be available everywhere, but most places are within easy reach of some or another source(s) of renewable energy. That's terrific if you're in the middle of nowhere and don't have convenient access to a standard electrical grid. You can make your own in various ways. Here's an example......

[LINK] "Buying green could make you more likely to lie, cheat and steal: study"

This article doesn't surprise me that much. In a paper to be published in an upcoming issue of the journal Psychological Science, University of Toronto researchers Nina Mazar and Chen-Bo Zhong studied how students behaved after being given the option of purchasing environmentally friendly products, like organic yogourt or biodegradable laundry detergent, or conventional items. They found ...
