Wanted: an eco prophet
Are the issues clearer, the people more committed, here on this side of the Atlantic? Professors with a colloquial touch writing “awful” emails; a recession so tough that it blows future shock away; a cold, cold winter the Met Office didn’t forecast; scientific angst about swine flu revealed as way over the top; dodgy figures, dodgy reporting, dodgy issues way up to UN level. Environmental issues have slithered down the greasy pole of public anxiety. It’s an exceptionally inconvenient truth. Only one American in three believes that human beings

George Monbiot's recent anti-micropower rant is seriously anti-green
But again, price is only one issue, there is also the social benefits in terms of attitudinal change and awareness of environmental issues. One of the most important aspects, aside from energy security, of micro-generation is that lower voltages can be generated, making turbines much more efficient. Building could and should be build and retrofitted with 12 V DC circuitry for lighting and most applications as this is better and safer, and not just for the environment. by Michael Smith (Veshengro) In early March 2010 everyone in British green circles, from the eco-warrior to the likes of RenewableUK, has been talking about George Monbiot; but then that is more or less the way he likes it. Monbiot's words were that Britain cannot afford renewable energy and should and must got for the nuclear option.

Got Environmental Issues? The Next Generation’s On It with Solutions-Oriented Projects Galore
The kids that are coming of age now (Generation Z or Generation Naught) are not only taking our dithering on major environmental issues without much complaint, they are taking all kinds of creative action. and makeup (through the Teens for Safe Cosmetics arm of the group) helps their fellow teens become familiar with the potential exposure issues and their consequences, and there are plenty of product suggestions to help them find greener options.
Almost two years ago, I wrote about how the next generation was going to be pissed off at us for our environmental negligence and overall lack of action-taking on climate change and species extinction.

Misleading the public on green issues
The only points where I do not have an issue with is the fact about turning of the computer between sessions as a saver of money, the PC and the environment and that in many cases old technology beats new, such as cast iron cookware, for instance. Concentrating alone on the carbon dioxide issue and Global Warming/Climate Change and the likes of “carbon capture” and “carbon storage” is not going to do much. by Michael Smith (Veshengro) In a so-called survey, also called a quiz, on a Green website the other day may claims were made that do not, in fact, hold up against some of the new evidence that is emerging but which some people see to wish to suppress by all means possible.
