It\'s true... in the last 10 years living off the grid has become a real and viable alternative to divorcing the electric company. We decided to make the change to living off the grid well over 16 years ago and haven\'t looked back since.
We had several goals and the major one was to build...
The carbon offset industry is new and unproven, and there are some bad examples like planting trees in silly places where they will just die. But we shouldn\'t let those growing pains distract us from the crucial point: If you take flights, or drive, or you have a big house, you\'ve put some...
Global warming is going to wreak havoc with the world economy. That is the latest prediction based on the idea that our use of fossil fuels and our production and release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is responsible for an increase-to-come in temperatures.

Global warming - a gradual increase in planet-wide temperatures - is now well documented and accepted by scientists as fact. Recent research carried out by climate scientist at the University of Delhi voiced a "high level of confidence" that Earth is the hottest it has been in at least 100 years,...
This business about global warming is actually starting to look like a nightmare for humanity. It's becoming more a ghastly proposal, not an "inconvenient truth."
Global warming is occurring at even a more accelerated pace than what was originally predicted, many who are expert sources on this...
The voluntary carbon market experienced further growth in 2007, and experts predict the pattern to be repeated through 2008. Yet this rapid expansion of the market has not been without its difficulties. As the number of consumers grow, so too does their awareness of the opportunities and pitfalls...
