&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For filmmaker Rob Stewart, exploring sharks began as an underwater adventure. What it turned into was a beautiful and dangerous life journey into the balance of life on earth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Driven by passion fed from a lifelong fascination with sharks, Stewart debunks historical stereotypes and media depictions of sharks as bl...</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;There is no shortage of entrepreneurs inspired by the movie Wall Street or the stories of Sam Walton or Steve Jobs. I recently had the opportunity to interview Andy Keller, whose inspiration is a little more, shall we say, down to Earth.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CA -- Tell us about the origins of ChicoBag.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AK -- I used to sell software for an enterprise software company down in the Bay Area.

      <description>&lt;p&gt;More than 165 exhibitors and 35,000 visitors are expected to descend on Montreal's Old Port for three days beginning June 13th, to share ideas about living more sustainably.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "Salon national de l'environnement" (SNE) was developed out of a citizens&amp;rsquo; initiative in 2006.

      <title>Quebec and Ontario showing leadership with cap-and-trade program</title>
      <category>blog</category>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The provinces of Quebec and Ontario have shown great leadership by working together to institute a bilateral "cap-and-trade" system in an attempt to curb green house gas emissions. When the Canadian federal government is dragging its heels on what most consider the most important issue curretnly facing humanity, bilateral initiatives between provinces or municipalities makes a good deal of sense.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This kind of autonomy and leadership at the provincial level is refreshing. A similar dynamic has existed for many years in the U.S., where despite an administration nearl...</description>

      <title>Park(ing) Space</title>
      <category>article</category>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Rebar is a San Francisco-based art collective making an intelligent demonstration by thinking laterally about the ongoing issue of inner-city parking. On the premise that a metered parking spot is an inexpensive short-term lease for a 10&amp;#215;20 plot of land, the team transforms space dedicated to private vehicle storage into a park. As Rebar states: &amp;#8216;More than 70% of most cities&amp;#8217; outdoor space is dedicated to the private vehicle while only a fraction of that land is allocated to open space for people. Around the nation, inexpensive curbside parking results in increased traff...</description>

      <title>Big Oil lets sun set on renewables</title>
      <category>article</category>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Shell, the oil company that recently trumpeted its commitment to a low carbon future by signing a pre-Bali conference communique, has quietly sold off most of its solar business.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;The move, taken with rival BP&amp;#8217;s decision last week to invest in the world&amp;#8217;s dirtiest oil production in Canada&amp;#8217;s tar sands, indicates that Big Oil might be giving up its flirtation with renewables and going back to its roots.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;The violence in Somalia escalated this year to some of the worst levels in over 15 years, causing an unknown number of civilian casualties and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people from the capital. Many of those remaining in Mogadishu are staying in makeshift camps with little more than ripped cloth and plastic sheeting for shelter and are exposed to a high degree of violence&lt;/p&gt;</description>

It&amp;#8217;s clear that some of these stars are great at what they do professionally and should be glad they made the right career choice in avoiding crafts, but hey, it&amp;#8217;s for a good cause right?

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Against Hypocrisy&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;My friends work at corporations. My family invests in corporations. I eat at corporations. 
The corporation is an organization of human activity &#226;&#8364;&#8220; both inside the corporate entity and to those it serves.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;What am I to think on the corporate model if I was raised on &#226;&#8364;&#732;corporate milk&#226;&#8364;&#8482; (literally and figuratively)? What am I to think about the same corporation that I grab my fries at or that I gas up my car (don&#226;&#8364;&#8482;t actually own one), or that I wear to the gym? I believe that the corporate model is a fundamentally efficient model of organizing human...</description>
