Though it may seem like a shocking idea, high fuel prices may actually have some benefits for our society as a whole. This is because high gasoline prices have turned many individuals off of SUVs and other cars that require a lot of gas. Also, in many cases individuals are also choosing to ride public transportation, which in the long run would also decrease carbon emissions.

April 22, 1970 was the first Earth Day and 20 million people celebrated. 38 years later it is estimated that 1 billion people around the world are expected to do something to observe Earth Day. Earth Day is all things to all people. It’s a symbolic representative of the desire for everything we need to do to respect how we treat the earth.

Checkout this image of the amount of light pollution that can be found around the world in the night sky. Clearly the highest percentage of light pollution can be found in industrial nations, mostly coming from the US, Europe, West Asia. This represents many $billions annually in wasted energy and needless CO2 emissions

Energy Star wants to change the world, one light bulb at a time and invites you to join in!

A push is being made by EnergySolutions to import about 20,000 tons of low-level nuclear waste from Italy, to be buried in Utah on a site owned by the company. The site is known as ‘Clive’ and is part of part of Tooele County, located 80 miles west of Salt Lake City, Utah’s most highly inhabited area.

For the first time in human history, the brilliant, awe-inspiring canopy of the night sky is being stolen from us by the down-to-earth glare from artificial light.

Global warming is doing more than just changing the climate of our world, it is also taking a harmful toll on our wildlife. Many species of animals and plants may face extinction if the threat of global warming does not lessen.

As the years go by, the sky becomes brighter and brighter and it now gives off a glow which makes it almost impossible to see the stars, planets and other treasure of the night. This is the effect of light pollution...

Often time, climate change and global warming are only discussed in reference to humans and their world; however these factors are also having very negative effects on wildlife.

In today’s world, we have all been bombarded by messages and images of the many ways that we are hurting our environment and the way that this damage is affecting us. As a result, a lot pressure has been placed on modern, high-tech nations to ‘fix’ these problems. This has made the situation overwhelming and in some ways impossible, making the issues easier to ignore than to face them.

According to the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC), all species of sea turtles native to Florida waters are either threatened or endangered. Beachside lighting is a major contributing factor. It turns out that sea turtles simply can’t deal with the 'round the clock day time' we’ve created with all of our exterior lights. Fear not. There is a simple solution. Make sure that all of your homes exterior lights are turtle friendly.

We seem to go out of our way to come up with new and exciting ways to waste energy. Here's a great example....

Night after night, businesses across the country are lit up from dusk to dawn even though they're not even open for business. This wastes billions of dollars, vast quantities of valuable energy resources and contributes significantly to global warming.

People are increasingly learning how continuous development and all our structures are affecting animals. About time, too. Even outdoor light can have a negative effect on wildlife, I'm surprised to know, so it's a good thing plenty of companies are already ensuring that the lights they are using or manufacturing are wildlife-friendly.
