A concrete solution for global warming

Cement is one of the most consumed materials on the planet. It's the foundation for our roads, our sidewalks and our cities. It's also one of the biggest contributors to global warming. But a new product could change that. (Jan. 28)

Unilever's 'Monkey Business' - Greenpeace swings into action

International — It's been a busy morning for Greenpeace activists across Europe, many of whom have been dressing up as orang-utans to draw attention to Unilever's "monkey business". Today, we're launching the next stage in our campaign to protect the rainforests of Indonesia from the expansion of the palm oil industry.
Our research shows that Unilever, maker of Dove and many other well-known brands, is buying palm oil from companies that are destroying valuable rainforest and peatland areas; bad news not only for the millions of people who depend on these for their way of life and endangered species such as the orang-utan, but also for the global climate.

Take action now!

Show your loved ones you care enough to protect our planet for future generations.
Do your part to ensure a healthy planet by incorporating these ten simple actions into your everyday life.
1) Replace your incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent lights

2) Turn down the thermostat just three degrees in the winter and up three degrees in the summer. You can prevent the emission of nearly 1,100 pounds of carbon dioxide annually.

3) Inflate your car tires.

4) Turn down the hot water heater. Set your water heater to 130° F. While you're at it, turn down your house thermostat during the winter to 55° F when you go to bed or leave home

5) Choose your seafood wisely. We can't afford to wait until 2008. The world's seafood will be entirely depleted by 2048, according to an early November report in the journal Science

6) Purchase EnergyStar-labeled appliances. EnergyStar products are among the top 25 percent most efficient and can provide a 30 percent return or better through lower utility bills.

7) Wash and rinse in cold water. If everyone in the United States alone switched to cold water with their washing machines, we could save about 30 million tons of carbon dioxide each year -- and more than $3 billion in energy costs, collectively. And what's more? Cold water cleans your laundry just as well as hot water.

8) Buy locally produced meats and produce.Buying locally produced food cuts out the middlemen and the vast amounts of energy required to get your products onto store shelves

9) Drink more water from reusable glassware. It's great for your bank account, your health, and your planet.

10) Walk, bike, and carpool. In the United States, the car represents one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions. However, you don't have to give up your car for a healthier planet, just expand your transportation options.
