Hi,
"Here's something you don't see every day: a Chinese Santa Claus recently appeared underwater at an aquarium in Shanghai.
The Santa, decked out in red and white garments, was swimming alongside fish to promote saving the ocean. The unusual act has drawn significant attention."
Happy Boxing Day
Cheers

My green school dream in Bali by John Hardy
Hi,
Building a green school (with bamboo stems) which has no walls, populated by smiling students learning in a painless breezy surroundings.
This school of the future is almost romantic if not functional. Beautiful in every way, architecturally, educationally, environmentally and futuristically.
Cheers

Global warming is hotting up-is panic an appropriate response?
Hi,
John Doerr is one of Silicon Valley's richest man and a savoy investor. However he is afraid that he may not be able to talk to his 15 year old daughter, Mary, about what his generation has done to the planet. His daughter demands that he and his generation has to clean up the mess their generation has created.
His emotional talk about climate change and how businesses, political will, scientific research and investment are our "last straws" to rescue ourselves from eco-apocalypse.
He lists a number of initiatives that have taken place in line with reducing global warming.
Walmart, the biggest US retailer, has reduced 20% electricity consumption in all its old outlets and 30% in its new outlets. Using smart skylight, compact florescent lighting and doors in its refrigerated shelves, are the simple changes that can bring about such reductions in energy consumption.
He talks about people being ignorant of how much CO2 is released when we drive short distances when we should be walking. Legislation should be passed to make clear a mandate for people to be aware and responsible for their own behaviour.
New microbes must be created by genetic engineering where the creature will make and excrete biofuel. More money must be set aside by government and private companies to increase investment in green energy.
Bills must be passed to promote green behaviour. Individuals must stand up and be counted. Green activists must multiply their influence to solve these global problem as we have only one atmosphere.
Cheers.
