| Hey remember last week when NBC was "going green" and telling us how to live without wasting energy or burning fossil fuels? What a difference a week makes - now that they have relaunched " Where in the World is Matt Laurer ?" and are dragging the host across the world in a haze of jet fuel emissions.Not only is NBC (owned by GE) making itself the world's biggest hypocrite when it comes to the environment, they are sending Matt Laurer in the LEAST fuel efficient manner in order to keep the viewers guessing. Each stop is about as far away as possible from the last visit - didn't

| Readers probably already know my view on the environment/Earth Day: The Earth does not need saving - WE DO! That being said the tiny archipelago nation of the Maldives are getting a new meaning to the term Waterfront Property and are pleading with the world to take global climate change seriously.Well, considering that I want to visit the Maldives someday, I suppose I should get on the Green Bandwagon and start living sustainable . Some great websites are emerging to help us help ourselves -including this link I found last night. Besides, since I started recycling seriously I've noticed I'm

| As much as I support American business, I will not shed a tear for the fate of Winnebago, a company that is part of the problem. Winnebago and their ever increasing line of monstrous RV's is a poster child for over-consumption in America and one I would not mind seeing falling by the wayside. I don't think part of the original "American Dream" was to drive your house to your vacation spot.I love to travel and who wouldn't want to travel across the US in ultimate comfort? But at what costs? Gas grows ever more expensive and yet over the last decade you see more of these behemoths on

| This CBS News video not only explains just how much more gas costs in the UK compared to here in the US - $9 a gallon! It also explains in layman's terms some of the factors behind the surging oil prices and the sagging dollar.So it's not just you America that is struggling to live with crazy gas prices, Europe has always had expensive gas - but this is getting ridiculous, especially for the cab drivers.The main difference in how the two landmasses are handling this crisis is that much of Europe has very good public transportation as well as established freight rail. Even though there are

| Look, the only reason I'm up this morning and posting is to get the painful sting of last night's SuperBowl out of my head. And I figure writing something that will offend the Soccer-Moms is just the ticket.Shell Oil's former chairman is calling for the ban of Gas Guzzlers in the EU. Why not in the US? Well not entirely, since blue collar working people and larger families do need trucks and larger vehicles. But take a look at the ratio of Cars to Trucks/SUV's on American roads in the last 10-15 years. How many off-road vehicles do you see that have never been off-road? How many big-ass

| Polar ice caps are melting at a much faster rate than models show. Take Antarctica for example, the ice loss increased about 75% over ten years since 1996. Now it's losing 192 gigatons of ice per year ten years ago it was 112 gigatons. Some say that Antarctica will gain more ice as global warming proceeds because of increased snowfall. It doest look that way, scientists are seeing how Antarctica is losing more and more ice mass every year. Antarctica is not the only place that is losing ice mass. The Arctic is also heavily effected by global warming. The temperature of water in the Arctic Ocean

| This article makes sense - why don't we recycle the spent nuclear fuel. France has been doing itoh right France, we aren't supposed to like them. Or is it cool to like them now that Sarkozy is in charge? I can't keep track anymore but I know they live a hell of a lot better than we do here in the US, the supposed "Greatest Country in the World" according to people who have never been anywhere else. Just think what responsible nuclear power can do - we wouldn't be relying so much on oil and coal, we wouldn't need to use every ear of corn to make an inferior version of ethanol

| Henan Business News report, Chinese people have condemned a project to build a 13-mile long dragon along a mountain ridge outside a city. In a survey of 50,000 people, 92% strongly opposed the project for "abusing the environment and wasting money".More than 800 metres of the dragon, made of steel and cement, have already been completed. It will cost more than £260 million, the finished dragon is to wear 5.6 million scales of jade or gold-coated bronze. People can pay to carve words on the scales, and inside the body there will be trains and clubs. It will be a place for cultural activities

| The British capital, Reuters report, set out on Tuesday to become the greenest city in the world with a radical climate action plan to cut carbon emissions by 60 percent within 20 years in the battle against global warming. The plan aims to slash carbon output by reducing demand and wastage across the whole spectrum from individuals to households, businesses and local governments. "This will make London the first city in the world to have a really comprehensive plan to cut its carbon emissions," Mark Watts, climate change adviser to London Mayor Ken Livingstone, told Reuters in an
