You have no idea how pleased I am to hear this news. This is one big kick in the pants/motivation for every company out there working on a technology to serve our energy needs through alternative means. We can do it, should do, need to do it. I personally have signed every petition [...]

Something for Water Technology Companies To Think About…

Wednesday, December 21st, 2005

I was reading Scientific American tonight…http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa003&articleID=00018706-7F7C-13A8-BF7C83414B7F0000 Thought this might interest some of you. It’s an article about the disappearing surface permafrost in the Artic. Most interesting to me, in the article, was this: "… Arctic rivers already carry 7 percent more fresh water to the ocean today than they did in the 1930s. The model [...]

UN Launches 500 Million Emergency Relief Fund…

Monday, December 19th, 2005

http://www.greatnewsnetwork.org/index.php/news/article/un_launches_500_million_emergency_relief_fund/
This is great news. But I just have one question…how are these funds going to be appropriated, and do they account for needed green technologies? There should be a resource directory of green technology companies standing at the ready in times of national and international disasters…anyone know where one of those is?

Green Light Launches

Monday, December 19th, 2005

http://www.greenlight-digital.com/greenlight/iss01/

 
Yup, it’s out: issue numero uno.  "Your Guide to Earth Friendly Living".  This should be a good pub. If they do anything at all like www.living.com is doing - which I think is a great concept, this should be one darn good online source of eyeballs for plenty an advertiser.  And it’s doing a great [...]
