Barack Obama on Energy and the Environment
2009-01-22 05:25:00 Barack Obama is now the president of the United States of America. Now, more than making promises, he has to deliver on those promises and create real change. The White House website had a complete makeover just as he was being sworn into office, and with that, his policy and agenda where added to the website. You can view Obama’s agenda for energy and environment to review his plans. Has his agenda changed from when he was campaigning? If you look at his energy agenda when he was campaigning, you can see there are a couple of bullet points that are now missing. • Provide short-term relief to American families facing pain at the pump • Enact a Windfall Profits Tax to Provide a $1,000 Emergency Energy Rebate to American Families. Why has he taken these off his energy plan? Maybe it was just a copy and paste error by whoever handles his website, maybe it wasn’t. Even though the price of oil has dropped considerably since the high in the summer, people still help fi...

A Few Of The Effects Of Population Growth On The Environment
2009-01-11 06:05:00 The population of the world is slowly increasing. As this happens, we need to take great caution in making sure we don?t harm the environment. If we don?t be careful then it could lead to disastrous effects for us and nature.As cities grow larger and larger the natural land around them is being turned into homes and office buildings. We need to set up more parks inside cities to allow for the large amount of urbanization. These parks help to beautify the city while helping to preserve our environment.As we build these homes and cities we are using more and more lumber and other natural resources for the buildings. We need to limit how much quarrying is allowed in one area and they need to be replanted instead of left bare. If you have ever seen the aftermath of a quarry you would understand how it is a scar to the earth.When we use the trees in a rainforest or any forest we should replant at least the same amount of trees that we took out of it. Birds, squirrels, and other animals u...

Top Tips For Saving Money and the Environment
2009-01-01 17:39:00 Once you have decided that you need a car, you try to look for something that comes within the money you saved. If you did not save anything for the car, you can opt for 100 per cent financing. This is possible at the local money lenders and bankers if you can place collateral and you have a strong credit. But what if you cannot afford to place collateral or worse even, you have a bad credit. These bankers will seldom approve your application. Even if they do, the interest rates will be too high. Instead of thinking about the traditional methods, you should approach the new age online money lenders who offer online auto loans no credit check.This scheme has a twofold purpose. Firstly, it aims to speed up the process of financing as there is no credit check. Secondly, it aims to finance the car based on the borrower?s current position instead of his or her past. Based on your repayment capability, your loan amount will be decided. If you place collateral, you can get higher amounts f...

green love: on condoms and the environment
2008-10-01 14:13:00 once the realm of serious environmentalists and well-meaning but misunderstood tree-huggers, being eco-friendly has now become an everyday reality for all.gone are the days of bleached white paper products made from old growth forests as well as those once-ubiquitous throwaway plastic bags. in their place are plantation-harvested and reusable alternatives. and this environmental awareness hasn't only been limited to simple consumption of paper or plastic but also to other products we use day to day.how about slipping on a pair of sustainably grown underpants made from bamboo and hemp? or applying those biodegradable plant-based moisturiser and hair products? or even drinking your favourite fair-trade wine and latte? being green conscious is now de rigueur.is it any wonder that this would also affect those things we use in a more pleasurable manner?in the world of prophylactics, the humble condom is king. used properly, it can prevent not only the transmission of AIDS and HIV but al...

Kabbalah on Green: Consciousness and the Environment
2008-06-03 03:12:00 A new installment in the Technology for the Soul mini-book series. The newest of the series if not for being the most topical. I liked the book, it takes a different approach to the term "green". The book, instead of focusing on rules like turning the light off when you leave a room or separate your plastics from your garbage, focuses on "greening" up the Earth and not necessarily cleaning up the Earth.There are 3 zones of giving:The red zone: where some gives to the community as a whole in hopes that their efforts will repay them. The consciousness of expecting to get paid back for your hard work feeds your ego and taints the act of giving you make.The white zone: the most righteous of givers. They give and give and give without taking, therefore what it boils down to is a never ending unloading onto the rest of the world.The green zone: the perfect balance and what we need to all achieve. Where you give enough to the community for the pure sake of sharing, but you also receiving i...

The Environment: “Offsetting” that cheap flight
2008-05-15 18:52:00 It’s undeniable that an increase in flying is contributing to the degradation of the environment. In Europe, news reports about the effects of low-cost airlines on the environment are a regular occurrence. We’d be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge that low-cost flights in Europe are undeniably contributing to global warming. But what can you do about it, aside from taking the train or bus? Carbon Offsetting: One Option Carbon offsetting involves calculating the amount of carbon dioxide pumped into the environment by pollution-heavy activities (like flying on airplanes) and then purchasing a corresponding credit to be used on projects that counteract, or offset, the damage. Carbon offsetting is not a perfect solution to the problem of global warming, but it does limit the damage done by budget-savvy air travelers. Airlines are getting into the spirit of things as well. EasyJet, for example, has incorporated a carbon emissions offsetting option into its booking page....

Hanjin: Plundering the Environment
2008-05-12 16:01:00 PerryScope: by Perry DiazRecently, a series of anomalies concerning Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction, a South Korean company, have dominated the headlines of Manila newspapers. Considering that billions of dollars were involved in these transactions, "transparency" has once again come to the forefront of debate. Like the Chinese contracts -- NBN-ZTE, Cyber Ed, Fuhua, etc. -- which the Arroyo government negotiated secretly, it would seem that the same modus operandi may have been used in negotiating the Hanjin contracts. The first Hanjin shipyard was built in the Subic Bay Freeport in 2006 at a cost of $1.7 billion. A few weeks ago, it launched the first ship -- a $60 million container ship for a Greek shipping company. With 10,000 Filipinos employed, it's a boon to the sagging Philippine economy. The second Hanjin shipyard is to be located in the Phividec Industrial Authority in the province of Misamis Oriental in Mindanao. The shipyard -- which is projected to be completed...

Hybrid Vehicles - Good For Your Wallet, The Environment & The American Econ
2008-04-29 15:21:00 You may be surprised to find out that the United States consumes a quarter of the world's oil supply but only carries three percent of the world's oil reserves on its own territory. As a result, America is forced to import over 60% of the oil our country needs, relying more and more on foreign countries, particularly in the Middle East, to support our oil dependency.Many experts are under the impression that the introduction and popularity of hybrid vehicles in the US will lessen our dependency on overseas oil. Powered jointly by gasoline and electric engines, hybrids use much less gasoline than conventional vehicles and therefore use less oil. Over 11 million barrels of oil are imported into the US each day and although most of it is contributed to industry, the running of vehicles still uses quite a bit of oil and hybrids provide a way to limit that amount.Because the market reacted so well towards the introduction of hybrid vehicles, it is predicted that more Americans will buy...
