It's difficult to describe one's profile in a few sentences, but I'd love to tell you more over a bottle of wine. I'm heavy into green living, but I'm more yuppie than hippie. I enjoy learning about cool technologies that seek to find balance with the planet and push the human race in a direction that's more friendly to those around us sharing the earth.

From the page: "But the captain is back, this time online as one of the top features offered by a new environmental website, the Mother Nature Network (MNN). Launched by a group of green Atlantans, including Chuck Leavell, a part-time tree planter and full-time keyboardist for the Rolling Stones, MNN is the latest website to try to ride the environmental wave online."

From the page: "In Sunday's Washington Post, James R. Lee wrote an important Op-Ed on a topic I've addressed several times on this blog and in a recent speech, the link between the climate crisis and our national security. He wrote:
"We're used to thinking of climate change as an environmental problem, not a military one, but it's long past time to alter that mindset. Climate change may mean changes in Western lifestyles, but in some parts of the world, it will mean far more. Living in Washington, I may respond to global warming by buying a Prius, planting a tree or lowering my thermostat. But elsewhere, people will respond to climate change by building bomb shelters and buying guns.""

From the page: "Could it be that the alien invasion promised in the film The Day The Earth Stood Still is underway? In the flick, if humans didn't clean up their act with regards to the planet, a can of whoop-ass was going to be opened on them. According to some locals living in Lincolnshire, UK, such world ending promises are being carried out -- on wind turbines of all things."

From the page: "Will we soon be letting the sunshine in for a new generation of cars running solely on solar power?
That was the conjecture when a Japanese newspaper reported last week that Toyota is secretly working on just such a vehicle for a product launch in some indefinable future.
Which Toyota denies.
â€oeWe have absolutely no knowledge of any pure solar-powered vehicle, or plans for one,” said Jana Hartline, a Toyota spokeswoman.
She said the article might have arisen from unconfirmed reports that the third-generation Prius (to be introduced at the Detroit auto show, which opens to the press on Sunday) will have solar panels to power the air-conditioner. She declined to comment on any solar applications for the new Prius. "

Kick ass Obama!

From the page: "The future looks mostly friendly with Obama on leading the way. Originally there was some skepticism over his support for "clean coal" support - but won the environmentalists back with his incredibly aggressive and undeniably ambitious plan for climate change and renewable energies. This plan focuses on an attempt to reduce 80 % emissions from 1990 levels by 2050 along side auctioning 100 % of the pollution permits. If he holds true to his plan it will also include a $150 billion investment for green jobs and clean energies."

From the page: "The most serious environmental concern is that up to 100 million gallons of chlorinated seawater will be pumped into the estuary daily, causing serious environmental damage to this SAC area. The withdrawal and discharge of huge volumes of seawater would affect marine life by killing ichthyoplankton and other micro-organisms forming the base of the marine food chain unable to escape from the intake area. Furthermore, the discharge of cooled and chemically-treated seawater would also affect marine life and water quality."

Classy.
From the page: "Officials want a survivor of a tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo to reimburse the city more than $75,000 for his medical treatment and are asking that the money come out of any cash settlement the victim may receive.
The city cited regulations that let liens for city-funded medical care be placed against damages recovered in wrongful injury or death cases.
The tax department said in a lien filed this week in federal court that Kulbir Dhaliwal has yet to pay for medical treatment provided by the city after the mauling on Christmas Day 2007."
