The Green Vehicle Exchange

Mon, 09 Jun 2008 22:22:50 -0400

The Green Vehicle Exchange is a program founded by Fraser Young whose goal is to convince drivers to scrap their older, polluting cars for newer, more fuel efficient models. They do this by offering participants anywhere from $1,500 to upwards of $4,000 for their old car, usually comptetitive with, if not more than, the car's trade-in value. The difference is that cars exchanged under the GVE program are dismantled, and the parts either recycled or scrapped in an environmentally conscious way, rather ...

China's government must tighten its policies on buying illegally logged timber to set a good example for Chinese companies that largely use wood from unsustainable sources, a government forestry official said Wednesday.

Only 0.3 percent of Chinese forests, or about 1.48 million acres, are certified as sustainable according to international standards, said Lu Wenming, chief of international cooperation at the Chinese Academy of Forestry. Additionally, only 501 Chinese companies purchase their timber from internationally certified sources...

Why biofuels are becoming 'bad' for the environment

Sat, 27 Oct 2007 12:35:06 -0400

Biofuels ‘crime against humanity’ By Grant Ferrett BBC News

Food prices have risen as more land is used to produce biofuels A United Nations expert has condemned the growing use of crops to produce biofuels as a replacement for petrol as a crime against humanity.

The UN special rapporteur on the right to food, Jean Ziegler, said he feared biofuels would bring more hunger.

The growth in the production of biofuels has helped to push the price of some crops to record levels.

Mr Ziegler’s remarks, made at...

Quick guide: Biofuels What are biofuels?

wood, wood chippings and straw pellets or liquids made from wood biogas (methane) from animals’ excrement ethanol, diesel or other liquid fuels made from processing plant material or waste oil In recent years, the term “biofuel” has come to mean the last category – ethanol and diesel, made from crops including corn, sugarcane and rapeseed.

The Polar Bear and the Sled Dog

Thu, 18 Oct 2007 20:50:09 -0400

I felt compelled to do a little write-up about a viral email message that is in high circulation on the internet right now. The message includes several images of a seemingly heartwarming encounter between a polar bear and a (chained) sled dog near Churchill, Manitoba, which bills itself as “the polar bear capital of the world.” This message was received from a friend who knows about and supports my sled dog advocacy. She put in the subject title “please ignore the chains” which is something that is very contrary to my nature. Even a lot of animal lovers are decei...

That is just sick. I consider myself fairly well knowledgeable about the “behind-the-scenes” stuff that goes on in various industries, but had no idea about the wool trade.

Animals were not meant to be industrialized!

Why do we not know about this crap? (I know the obvious answer but am still upset about it)

Thanks for the informative vid

That’s the thing. Like Nour mentioned, it was news for her. Wool farming seems like it would be harmless, after all, it’s not skin, or flesh, it’s excess hair. But it is cruel, and the majority of people wearing wool sweaters or socks right now have no idea what they have paid for.
