The Green Bazaar and the first round of Freecycle have just ended. Will post something more meaningful later when I have enough time.

"America is free from natural disaster", that statement is no longer true. America was shaken. The very very few time during her history of 300 years. It was put to the test, and it failed. Lack of preparation, weak response, slow process. Americans were angry.

Pollution trading is introduced to consumers. Some interesting, if ironic, finding:Not surprisingly, few SUV drivers have been buying them.

In Malaysia, the content of plastic materials in a municipal solid waste (MSW) was estimated at 7-12 percent in weight; however it is actually represents 18-30 percent of the volume of solid waste.

ALL it takes is a few solar panels erected on the roof and sides of a Housing Board block to take care of up to 30 per cent of the building's daytime energy needs. The puzzling thing is that Singapore, which is more suited to tapping solar power than most countries that already use the technology extensively, is not already doing so. For a comparison, less than 1 % of Singapore's energy is from

If a society was a more coherent unit, less segregated, perhaps people might be less concerned with their own lives and start being able to make decisions as a social whole on the pertinent issues such as the environment for instance.

Scientists believe that extra greenhouse gases are causing more energy to be trapped inside the Earth's atmosphere, increasing global temperature. Reducing CFC emissions was successful - we should be able to do the same for other greenhouse gases. The Kyoto agreement encourages rich nations to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 5% over the next decade. Poor countries will pay the price if rich

Pulau Hantu, a small island off Singapore's southern shores, has known to be rich in marine life. However now almost half of the coral life around a stretch of reef off Pulau Hantu has died over an 18-month span. The biggest reason for the decline is sedimentation. Blankets of silt churned out by land reclamation and regular dredging of shipping channels in the area are literally smothering the

By Maureen Gilmer, DIY Network Trang was newly immigrated from Vietnam in those difficult years of the late 1970s. Quiet and studious, she devoted herself to our horticultural program with ferocious vigor. No root, seed, stem or seemingly dead plant thrown out after a demonstration or greenhouse cleaning ever remained in the garbage for long. Before the end of each day, she would have salvaged

Of course this affects the rice

Aichi is considered the most recent model of green city which is comprised of Nagakute Area (158ha) and Seto Area (15ha). The area is transformed into a site for the 2005 World EXPO that will run between March 25 and September 25 next year.
