From Rick Smith, Executive Director:
“On Thursday, December 10th, at 4:30pm local time, Prime Minister Stephen Harper will be sent a striking message. The faces …

As with most of the environmental problems that we face, this is something that is only going to get worse if we continue living the way we do.  Sadly, its something that we can probably still turn around if action is taken before we hit the ‘tipping point’.  Locked in the permafrost of the north is a vast, frozen sea  of methane that has been stored for millenia.  If we see that begin to melt……well, there’ll be no turning back.  The ice that encompasses much of the north …

It was just the other day that I was wondering why the search engine giant Google hadn’t begun to explore green initiatives.  Oddly enough, it was just announced yesterday that Google is planning a project to develop a new solar mirror technology which should greatly reduce the costs associated with renewable energy.
Googles engineers have been focusing on a solar technology that would heat water, which in turn would produce steam that would turn turbines to produce electricity.
Here’s a video of googles green energy czar Bill Weihl discussing a bit about …
