Global Warming Debate Heats Up; Let's Agree to...
The debate over Global Warming has gone on long enough it is time that we all agree to disagree on the debate of whether mankind's CO2 emissions have caused ambient climate temperatures to rise and melt the polar ice. Rather lets, agree that polluting is dumb and therefore lets just stop polluting. Why would someone who operates a popular high-traffic Online Think Tank make this statement? Well simple really; we must not crush our civilization in order to save humanity and human societies from changes in weather. Other wise we will become so economically weak that we will not be able to save ourselves, see the point. Additionally, I recently had this conversation with an Environmentalist...
The global warming issue has been a big problem, but the way it has been fixed may surprise you. They didn't just cover up the symptoms; they have found how to resolve it once and for all. The breakthrough really seems to have come as a result of the Climate Conference in Copenhagen that was convened from December 6th through the 18th of 2009. Many influential people met to negotiate measures to reverse the climate's uphill walk to higher temperatures. The immediate results of the conference are astounding! To know there is a global warming issue is not hard to find. You can ask just about anyone in the general public, and they will tell you that they have definitely noticed a change. In fact, I was...
Why do People Believe in Global Warming?
Have you ever asked yourself why everyone believes that global warming is real? A recent television survey said 90% of the people believe that global warming is real and yet just two years ago that percentage was under 30%; how can this be? Well it appears that the bombardment of mass media hysteria over the global warming issue has convinced people that it is now real. Does that mean it was false and now it is real? No, what it actually means is that most people have surrendered their minds to their television set and they believe what ever they read in the newspaper, hear on the radio or watch on the television; anything. Now they believe in global warming. Of course just the other day we are...
Environmental issues can be a touchy subject
Whether the subject is global warming, clean energy sources, or toxic chemicals environmental issues are almost always a "point of contention" among those who discuss them. Like politics and religion, it is another subject that has a wide assortment of opinions regarding the many facets or sides of the issue. Even the so called experts can't seem to agree on what's best for us and our planet. Global Warming is killing the people and the planet Many environmental experts contend that our earth's atmosphere has become overloaded with carbon dioxide which traps in heat and threatens to disrupt the planets climate permanently. Even though the temperature change may amount to a mere three to nine...
Breaking the Ice - What to Say and How to Say It
For the theme of this and following articles, I will be discussing the eight steps of the strategic conversation exchange as proposed to a stranger or someone you are meeting for the first time. This article is for face to face networking, (funny how we have to distinguish now) and should be pictured as if you are approaching your "networkee" at a social gathering where both of you are standing and socializing. This is the first installment of a multi-part series in the Strategic Conversational Exchange (SEC). 1. Breaking the ice. 2. Initiating small talk. 3. Establishing relationships of mutual friends or contacts. 4. Establishing location. 5. Explaining what they spend most of their time doing. 6...
In a recent move to help the environment, Panasonic Corporation issued its Eco Ideas Report 2009, a summary of the company's environmental sustainability management activities in the business year from April 2008 to March 2009 (FY 2009). Panasonic has put together an annual report on its progress of initiatives in environmental management since 2005, as the company seeks 'coexistence with the global environment' as one of its business visions. The report, which was previously called Environmental Data Book, was renamed Eco Ideas Report this year to reflect the company's commitment to environmental activities which was announced in 2007 and has been implemented in practice since.

Elections - Do We Vote With Our Hands on Our...
A young colleague recently claimed that her generation has great concern about environmental ills. She thought that her Y-generation all have deep feelings about the woes of our world. They want something done about it, especially climate change. She claimed that late alphabeters will be angry at any government that promised action on climate change but then reneged as the Australian government has just done. "Are you sure," I said, 'won't they vote with their hip pockets?" "No they have all they need," she said, "I mean we all have food and shelter and with those needs met we want to do the right thing." I believed her, at least the intent part. And I am sure it is how she feels herself having...

Have you ever wondered why some real estate investors seem to make it all look so easy? We have all heard the stories about how one investor made over $100,000 in a week by flipping a house. Or maybe about how another one bought a multimillion dollar apartment complex and walked away with cash at closing. So how do these people do it? And is it something the average person off the street can learn to do? Well, those are some of the same questions I had when I first started in the business. So I spent months of research and tens of thousands of dollars to learn what strategies these successful people use that the rest of us do not. What follows is a brief summary of what I learned. Some may surprise...
Compensating Real Estate Brokers
Are the high fees of commercial real estate brokers really justified? It depends what you get for your money. Today's professional commercial real estate broker provides a whole host of services and expertise that was unknown 20 years ago. Fees are not regulated, and you are free to test the open market and hire the services that you need. But there is a reason that most Fortune 500 companies have outsourced their real estate needs to a third party commercial real estate firm. If Fortune 500 firms have difficulty developing in-house expertise with all their capital and resources, how will you fare? They know that today's sophisticated commercial real estate market requires a level of expertise that...
How To Run Your Mlm Warm Market Without Being A...
are new to the network marketing and MLM business, the first thing you sponsor will ask you is to make a list of your friends and family, commonly referred to a "warm market." While "running your warm market" can be a great way to grow your business, if you do it wrong, you could end up in the dreaded NFL (No Friends Left) club. Most people think that they need to present their opportunity in their warm market or they need to have some crazy sales pitch. How would you feel if the guy next to you your job said, "cmon man, we're all going to be RICH just do this deal with me!" and was all hyper. You would think he was nuts! But this kind of stuff happens every day in MLM. The key is to be excited...

If only I new then what I know now, I would have a lot more money in my pockets. Don't make the same mistakes I did. Over the years I listened to ad reps with their stats of listenership, readership and the exposure I could expect from an ad campaign with their company. They were good sales people and I bought in. We created ads that got attention and favourable comments but in the end didn't generate the amount of traffic that was needed to pay for it. When I analyze what was working for us the best over the last 10 years it was glaringly obvious. Our website and email newsletter which cost about a buck fifty a day when figuring in internet access, happened to be our biggest marketing success...

Gas Station Financing - How to Tell If a Site...
One of the main reasons it is difficult to obtain gas station financing is the notion that gas stations and convenience stores pose a greater environmental risk than other types of commercial properties. While it is true that it is much less likely to get leakage or spillage at a multi-family, office building, golf course and other commercial buildings, the laws enacted and equipment used at newer gas stations drop the probability significantly. Frequently when a gas station or convenience store has had environmental issues, the current seller might not have been the owner at the time of the release and they may or may not be aware of the true environmental status. Environmental issues are broken...
Gas Station Financing - What You Need To Know...
Do you want to own a gas station? Gas stations can be very profitable businesses to own (if you don't believe me, just take a look at the current gas prices!), especially if they are branded. But what most potential owners don't realize is that financing for these types of properties can be very difficult. Before you consider buying a gas station, you should have a good understanding of what it will take to get it financed, unless of course you have lots of money and you can pay cash for it! So what are the 4 top reasons why financing for gas stations will fall through? #1 Environmental concerns Rightfully so, most lenders don't want the liability issues that can arise from current or previous...
It is no secret that one of the easiest ways to save your business money is to run more efficiently. This applies to all aspects of your business, but the printer and copier fleet is commonly overlooked. Many companies simply track the cost of toner, and that can yield a large amount of savings on its own. But the savings can go much beyond toner alone. Managed Print Services (MPS) paired with eco-friendly; super efficient printers, can save money on paper, energy, toner, reduced downtime, increased productivity and more. MPS, like the name implies; basically means you rely on a specialized IT company to help plan, implement and service your printer fleet. The advantage of having your printing...
Waste Management in Australia
Waste management is actually quite a fascinating subject that has many facets to it. Basically it involves collecting materials that others simply throw away as trash and sorting it into either stuff that has no further use or those that can be recycled. They then have to be transported to locations that can dispose of them safely and appropriately. The important aspect to efficient waste management is that it is organized in such a way that it has no adverse effect on others or the surroundings. There are steps to deal with waste and they consist of examining it to find out what it consists of, how it can be collected safely, appropriate means of transport, the process method and its eventual...
construction or retrofitting of an existing structure comes with a number of environmental and civil engineering problems. These problems are made more difficult when there are environmental containment issues involved. Special care must be made to contain contaminated groundwater and leachate to prevent contamination of clean water sources. Contaminated groundwater is a serious public safety issue and all attempts must be made to minimize the impact of any leachate that might find its way into the groundwater. When dealing with contaminated ground water or landfill leachate containment issues, it is best to hire a company that specializes in geo-environmental solutions to prevent and correct...
Commercial Real Estate Profits - Increase Them...
When purchasing a commercial property, it is always a smart move to conduct an environmental assessment during your Study Period. Although there are many types of assessments which can be done, the most common in Maryland are Phase I and Phase II environmental studies. If a lender is involved, it will often dictate what type of study needs to be done, however, even without a lender, a minimum of a Phase I study is recommended. What's the difference? Generally, a Phase I study consists of a record search within a 1 to 3 mile radius of the property. The record search is to find contamination in the area or specific problems with neighboring properties. It will review local, state and federal...
If you're trying to go green, one of the best places to begin is by looking at the daily ritual of taking a shower. Have you ever wondered where that water comes from and how much of it is being used? The EPA estimates that showering amounts to 17% of all residential water used indoors in the US. That is equivalent to an amazing 3.3 billion gallons of water every single day, or 1.2 trillion gallons of water per year. This ocean of water gets taken from delicate rivers and streams, inflicting a terrible price on the environment. Some of this water returns to nature from water treatment plants, but much of it does not--or does so while laden with the pollutants of modern living. It's no surprise, then...
How To Dispose Electrical Items
At times we find ourselves in situations where we can't get rid of certain things in life and electrical items are one of them. We tend to buy some just for the sake of buying it and sometimes for its purpose. Some appliances tend to work only for a short period and then they become obsolete. It's also sad when some stop working. You tend to get emotionally attached to the object and one of the reasons could be because it's been serving you for years. It's not easy to dispose electrical items just like any other item, as they have toxic contents, which emit radiations that are harmful to humans. Electronic waste is becoming a big issue as most of the electrical equipments are short lived and so a...
Future Oil Filters May Change Motor Oil...
Do you realize over 500 million gallons of motor oil are purchased in the nation each year? Furthermore, about 50 percent of the more than 400 million oil filters sold are recycled. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that nearly half of the motor oil changed comes from do-it-yourself (DIY) mechanics. What impact does this have upon the earth and our ground water when we need to change motor oil in our vehicles every 3,000 miles? A new technology introduced by SOMS Technologies, LLC, which provides engine oil filtration merchandise, reported on October 21, 2008 that they have created an oil filter which only needs replaced up to every 30,000 miles. It is important to change motor oil...
The recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is predicted to have a dramatic effect on seafood prices throughout the United States for the remainder of this year. It is evident that the oil spill is devastatingly large, much more so that originally reported. It is clear that it will impact both the coast of Florida, as well as the entire Gulf of Mexico. It's uncertain at this point how long lasting the effects will be on the water and the environment, but clearly it will be substantial. It will be very difficult for fisherman to approach the areas in question, and even if they do manage to find pockets of traditional fishing grounds without oil on top of the water, it is possible that the underlying...
With snow blanketing the country in recent weeks and the doom and gloom prevailing at home, many of us are looking to holidays abroad for something invigorating and refreshing. Most people think of somewhere warm and sandy, longing for a tan and a good book on the beach, but holidays like that can feel stilted and predictable. We take a look at Menorcan holidays, which offer a superb beach experience, but also have something special in spring and all year round. The great variety of flora and fauna on the island make it stand out from more run of the mill beach holidays. Menorca's great diversity can be seen throughout the island, and we count down the top five natural sites that you can explore...

"African Grey for Sale", a common enough advertisement but what lies behind it? Has the parrot, or its parents, been caught illegally and smuggled out of Africa? Or is it all above board and the advertiser a genuine breeder. It is often difficult to tell. The pet trade in exotic creatures has its fair share of shysters, charlatans and downright hucksters masquerading as genuine members of the pet trade concerned with conservation and the environment. If you want to buy a baby african grey make sure you know enough to pick a bird that is healthy and has good prospects of being the pet you are looking for. Buying an african grey, like buying any other reasonably large parrot, is an expensive...

I belong to a number of writing groups, and I am a co-moderator in a critique group. A few months ago I read a poem for children about the environment and conservation. Recently, I read a wonderful picture book about recycling and the environment. This got me thinking. Writers have the perfect format for teaching and molding children, and the perfect opportunity. From picture books to young adult novels, conservation and the environment are topics that authors should be thinking of writing about, or at least weave into their stories. The saying goes, "you are what you eat," well children become what they learn whether through their environment, including schooling, or reading. If young children are...

What Cap and Trade Reform Means to US Taxpayers
American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 Earlier this summer, the United States House of Representatives passed H.R.2454, the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, which claims to "create clean energy jobs, achieve energy independence, and reduce global warming pollution and transition to a clean energy economy." However, the bill has become quite controversial as it includes a cap and trade "global warming reduction plan" that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 17% before the year 2020. It also includes new requirements for utility companies regarding carbon technology, incentives for energy efficient homes and buildings, as well as grants for new "green" jobs. Highly...
Should a global climate agreement hold the US...
Yes, the US should be held to a higher environmental standard than the rest of the world. We have benefited from a superior economic growth powered by consumption of a major share of the world's fossil fuels, causing a major share of the world's environmental pollution. We are technically equipped to lead toward a higher environmental standard. Currently, however, it would be a major challenge for the US to assume this leadership role. We will have to wait for a new administration that, hopefully, will want this role for us. The Bush administration has continued to reject actions to reduce global warming pollution. It has refused to require cuts in heat-trapping carbon dioxide pollution...
The energy used in our homes in USA accounts for 20% of the total global warming pollution of the country. Good thing is that we can easily tame this situation by following simple rules and utilizing our resources in proper way. In this article, we will explore ways to cut down our cost on energy so that we can fight against the situation. When summer comes, we tend to use air conditioners more and that emits a lot of heat harmful for our nature. In the same way, when winters come, we use heaters to warm up our rooms. Of course, it is impossible to shut our electrical appliances; however, we can take some necessary initiatives that we don't have to use them for a long time. To do so, keep your home...

Tips in Improving Your Home's Energy Efficiency
Energy is very important. Everyday, human beings rely on it for both work and relaxation. The quality of a person's lifestyle relies on it very much. Without it, there will be no way for people to cook food conveniently, light up the place at night without using candles, make use of appliances or even drive cars. There has been a growing demand for energy. As the population increases, so is its demand. It is good that for now, we have an abundant supply of energy. However, too much consumption may lead to its depletion and worse, environmental degradation. But the environment is not the only thing that you should be worrying about; the budget too. Too much energy consumption could mean zero savings...

How Solar Energy Works and How it Can Save You...
It should be obvious how solar energy can save you money but let's reiterate by looking at how solar energy works. The Sun's energy is available to everyone for free. It is one of the only energy sources that is totally free once you are set up to harness the Sun's power. Just based on how solar energy works it should be easy to see how and why you save money by using solar energy. First, solar panels collect the Sun's energy storing the energy in batteries which is then generated to your house through a generator. Notice what is missing? A middle man is not in the picture. There is no transmission company in between the energy source and your home. That means in effect you are the energy company...
Top level domains, or TLDs, are the recognizable suffixes found in internet addresses, such as .com, .org, or .edu. The astonishing growth of the internet over the past decade alone has given rise to a corresponding need for more specific TLDs to help clearly identify businesses and organizations and steer internet traffic effectively. ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, will shortly hear a petition for new TLDs. Several organizations, among them Dot Eco LLC, will petition ICANN to allow for the addition of a new TLD, .eco, which would be an umbrella address for all ecological and environmental causes and organizations. .eco's proponents include a variety of prestigious...
