Don’t Buy That Car

Green is the new black. It has become extremely fashionable to support supposedly environmentally friendly fads, which tend to be clever marketing or psychological lockpicking. One of the most sinful and reprehensible examples of this is the advertising literature for hybrid cars. They peddle (geddit?) the myth that actually going to a showroom and buying a brand new car with a newfangled hybrid engine will save the environment. In fact, this will damage the planet more than almost any More

Are Our Energy Supplies Dwindling?

Many speculators are saying that the earth’s energy supplies are dwindling. It is no surprise that people could feel this way. Much of the energy that we use are of non-renewable sources such as oil, gas, and coal. However, the place where most are mistaken comes to the idea of it getting near the point that we will all soon run out of energy entirely. As we speak, there are new oil fields being discovered in places that have not More

Chinese Death Waters

The recent research processes in the waters between China and Japan are quite disturbing for the environmental specialists and reveal some quite bothering facts that might have been quite underestimated until now. The problems that the Chinese sea is facing is mainly with the industrial waste in the country and with the problems that occur as a result of the overconsumption of seafood.
The recent research done by several UK scientists in cooperation with Japanese and Chinese specialists reveal that More

Reconsidering The Kyoto Agreement

The Kyoto Agreement, signed by almost developed countries, contains some of the most valuable measures in the environmental protection strategies as it imposes certain limits on the carbon emissions each country can take advantage of and prescribes sanctioning for those who exceed that limit. The matter is particularly important as it is closely related with the regulation of rates of pollution and the efforts of governments and states to initiate a more greener industry and a less polluted course of More

Australia’s Upcoming Green Policy

The new Australian government, elected almost 7 weeks ago, is planning on some serious environmental changes and is primarily focused on establishing a certain approach in dealing with carbon emissions. This might be one of the most significant legislative changes on environmental protection in the world and might be a crucial factor for the development of the Australian enegy plans.

Australia is a country that generates almost 80% of its electricity through coal fuel ( http://www.economist.com/research/articlesbysubject/displaystory.cfm?subjectid=348924&story_id=17312248 ) so major steps More

Is The Environment Really Important to the New UK Government

Political changes always bring new priorities to the stage, but environmental issues might not always be a part of such top priorities. A major topic for concern is that the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs will receive a budget cut of about 40%. This could lead to many of the nature reserves being put to sale and the budget needed for pollution and waste control being vastly insufficient for a proper monitoring of these areas. Several environmental organizations protested against these so-called saving reforms, and stated that even if the Government can make some savings for the time being, these actions will have bad repercussions on the entire economy if we think for the long term. Maybe they need to use energy saving companies like Enigin PLC to help get their houses in order.

One reform triggers the other, and because all the socio-geo-political factors go hand in hand, within the vicious circle the Department of Transport is present as well. Rail fare costs were increased by 8%, which leaves many people frustrated, because the costs were already high before this increase. Cutting down from one sector’s budget and feeding the other, is such a common practice in a political structure frame. For example, the Treasury intends to cut deep into the budget intended for Britain’s renewable energy sector. It is well acknowledged that the Treasury and environmental sectors never went hand in hand, but leaving such important sectors as the Environment or the nuclear clean up sectors without important backup, important echo friendly projects cannot become sustainable.

The major problem is that the Environmental sector is not being taken seriously, for now at least. Almost the entire political sector views it as another unimportant piece of the puzzle, which uses important resources (money!). Until the time comes when these issues will be taken seriously by all the major political parties including the government, the environmental sectors will not have a chance to prove that their projects are important and efficient.

The current government is in a tough position trying to meet its social and environmental responsibilities and also trying to cut its spending. Long gone are those ideas of being the ‘greenest government every in UK history.

Current Findings on the Release of CO2 from the World’s Oceans

It has been determined that carbon dioxide (CO2) is closely related to the effects of global warming on the planet. The largest storage of CO2 is currently located in the oceans of the world. Scientists are studying the methods in which the water releases CO2 into the air, as this is an vital component to learn how we change the Earth’s climate with our use of fossil fuels.

RBS and the Green Economy

The new British governement, elected this spring and formed by the conservatives and the liberal democrats, has promised to be the greenest gvernment ever to handle the UK affairs. However, that would be a subject to a test in a copuple of years and such proclamations are still not proved. A report, on the other hand, made by an economist and an ecology specialists offers quite a comfortable view on the matter, suggesting the idea of turning a whole financial More
