      <title>Environmental Activists Expose Dangers of E-Waste</title>
      <category>article</category>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;November 14, 2008, Delhi, India: In the streets of Mustaffabad, a poor
quarter of Delhi, children in sandals sit on top of piles of broken
glass and twisted metal, smashing computer monitors. Men with
blowtorches melt circuit boards, while nearby, women sort and scrub
other boards with diluted acid. Charred fiberglass and copper dust
litter the ground. &lt;br /&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt; This is the world of the electronic waste (e-waste) recyclers, who make
a living by tearing apart the toxic remains of old home computers, cell
phones and printer cartridges from the United States and other

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Environmentalist Preaches Conservation as Chaos Engulfs Eastern Congo &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; November 4, 2008, Uvira, Democratic Republic of Congo: With little more
than a motorbike and a mission, Clement Kitambala has been spreading
news about environmental issues in remote communities of the
war-ravaged Democratic Republic of Congo. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Amid renewed fighting that has displaced more than 130,000, ongoing
food crises and rampant sexual violence, his newsletter, Tunza
Mazingira ("Conserve the Environment" in Swahili), has provided a

      <title>Electric Cars Legalized in Vancouver</title>
      <category>article</category>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;"Vancouver city council voted Tuesday afternoon to give a green light to low-speed electric vehicles..."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"...The small light cars are already allowed under B.C. law to travel on
roads with a speed limit of 40 km per hour or less, but are only
allowed on roads with faster speed limits when municipalities vote to
permit them..."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least there is some progress! Way to Go Zenn and the province of British Columbia :)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Carbon-Free Does NOT Require Nuclear</title>
      <category>article</category>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Many prominent science magazines argue that solving the environmental crisis requires that we use substantially more nuclear energy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If this was true I'd be all for ignoring the many health risks (including intentional and unintentional explosion) and centralization aspect for the sake of the climate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But, I discovered from talking to some folks at the Sustainable Energy Summit at Amherst, that it certainly is not true. And this article explains how we can reach a carbon-free and nuclear-free society in scientific yet understandable terms.&lt;/p&gt;

My gift to you this season are some of the valuable Sustainability-related domains I've collected over the years.

All I ask in return is that you design a really cool site that gets people involved, spreads the Sustainability Symbol around the world and brings attention to at least one of the Climate Change related projects we're working on (Like "STOP the GLOFs") The rest will be up to you to use and design as you wish.

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The idea is simple and based upon the problem that most of the fruit that makes it into our grocery stores is transported great distances (1,000+ miles on average). All this energy, while a large percentage of fruit in people&#226;&#8364;&#8482;s backyard simply goes to waste because most homeowners lack the time and interest to properly share or store this food.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;span class="caps"&gt;IDAHO STATESMAN&lt;/span&gt;: Fate of salmon and hydroelectric production lie in the hands of a federal judge&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;By Rocky Barker&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;The struggle over saving Columbia River salmon could reach a climax in 2008.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;A federal judge has rejected the past two plans to manage dams and salmon &#226;&#8364;&#8221; saying they didn&amp;#8217;t do enough to save the endangered fish. If he doesn&amp;#8217;t like this one, he has warned that the region and its hydroelectric power system could face &amp;#8220;serious consequences.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;11/06/07&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;We&#226;&#8364;&#8482;ve had Live Aid, Live8 and a plethora of other charity concerts in between, but on October 25th, Raine Maida ushered in a new era &#226;&#8364;&#8220; the benefit busk. Armed with just an acoustic guitar and a couple of cardboard signs, Raine took to the streets of Toronto for a marathon all day show on street corners around the city.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;The aim of the day was to raise $30,000 so that War Child Canada could rebuild a school in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Twelve hours later he was over two thirds of the way there, having raised an astonishing $22,000.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;Losing both parents at a young age is something no child should face. It is hard to envisage recovering from such an experience. But just imagine if that was the beginning of your problems. What if you were the oldest of several children and suddenly responsible for raising your brothers and sisters in abject pov...</description>

	&lt;p&gt;Frances X. Farrell, Publisher of National Geographic Adventure Magazine and Keynote speaker at the Summit, asked me to do the &amp;#8220;Sustainability &lt;span class="caps"&gt;TEST&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8221; on the 500 assembled delegates to the conference.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Tofino - Canada's Westernmost bastion of Sustainability</title>
      <category>blog</category>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Today we saw the reasons why the Sustainability Symbol and  DragonTHINK are so important.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Whales&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Sea Lions&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;1,000 year old trees&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Storms&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;We are on the West coast of British Columbia&amp;#8217;s Vancouver Island, witnessing the omnipotent power of nature.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Humans are truly so insignificant on the Earth &amp;#8211; we&amp;#8217;re only &lt;span class="caps"&gt;ONE&lt;/span&gt; species &amp;#8211; and it&amp;#8217;s only our numbers, our multiple horsepower machines and selfish, uncooperative ways that leverage our impact in such devastating ways.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;War Child Canada is launching a provocative and edgy multi-media campaign to call attention to the plight of children caught &amp;#8211; and often forced to fight &amp;#8211; in as many as thirty armed conflicts across the globe.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;The campaign depicts life at Camp Okutta, a fictional summer camp similar to those frequented by Canadian children every summer, but with a noticeable twist. Children attending Camp Okutta participate in activities that include firing an AK-47, walking through a live minefield and throwing hand grenades in preparation for combat, and are depicted on four viral...</description>

	&lt;p&gt;Dr. Samantha Nutt knows the challenges often faced by young Canadians as they work to make a difference and make their voices heard.

      <title>A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier</title>
      <category>article</category>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;When most children in Canada turn 12, they&#226;&#8364;&#8482;re busy attending school, spending time with their friends and family, and playing pick-up games of soccer or street hockey. But these seemingly ordinary childhood activities are not options given to many children living in conflict zones around the world.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;A Long Way Gone is Beah&#226;&#8364;&#8482;s story of a childhood lost during the civil war in Sierra Leone. Written in his own words, it recounts how he survived what many would find hard to even imagine. Fleeing his village to escape rebel attacks, being coerced into joining the conflict, and bei...</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;U.S. special envoy to Sudan, Andrew Natsios, spoke on Wednesday February 14th of the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Darfur. He said he feared a &amp;#8220;blood bath&amp;#8221; if aid groups were forced out of the region. His remarks came a day before the UN Security Council met to discuss deploying a mission to neighbouring Eastern Chad. Simmering ethnic tensions have worsened as the Darfur conflict has spread across the border. In a further development, UN Secretary General Na Ki-moon expressed his disappointment that the Sudanese government had failed to provide visas to a UN Human R...</description>
