A sweepstake that stays crunchy and green in milk

This morning while slaving over a hot cereal bowl to prepare my Peanut Butter Panda Puffs, I noticed that my soy milk had a green cap. Apparently it is a green cap for green energy. Not directly seeing how the cap color was energy I read the box. It seems that Silk soy milk has [...]

What is up with Earth Day?

I’m having one hell of a time finding any decent Earth Day events and the lackluster earthday.org site is no help at all. I’m looking for an event in London as I’ll still be on the road that weekend, but as of yet have found sweet nothing. If anyone knows a good Earth Day event [...]

Les mégots à CBC News

Starting Tuesday in Montreal, people caught littering can be fined from $60 to $1,000. In whatever way this video is connected to that upcoming crackdown. I do think it is pretty awesome that he gave the cigarette butts back to the guy. Smoking is gross enough on its own without jerks like the guy in [...]

2007 Quality of living index

If you’re Swiss, Canadian or from New Zealand (yea, I didn’t know if the correct term was New Zealander) you should be proud. Zurich, Geneva, Vienna, Vancouver, and Auckland remain the top scoring cities on the Quality of Living index. I love these kind of comparative lists. The top 5 are:

Zurich, Switzerland : [...]

FYI all you PG&E customers

If you’re a PG&E (pacific gas & electric) customer, there are several easy options they provide you to green it up some. Assuming you don’t already.
ClimateSmart, a program to generate carbon neutral power is coming soon. For approx $4 more a month you can offset your energy use and contribute to the growth of clean [...]
