Greenpeace campaign against Italian nuclear program
Greenpeace Austria’s virtual campaign to stop the nuclear ambitions of the Italian Prime Minister has begun.
Through a dedicated website, stop-berlusconi, the Austrian people are being requested to sign an online petition asking Berlusconi to keep Italy – like Austria – ”nuclear free” .
Many Austrians are concerned above all because one of the most likely nuclear sites in Italy, Chioggia, is close to their borders, particularly the two Austrian provinces Carinthia and Styria.
A reactor in Chioggia, 30 km from Venice, near the popular beaches of the Adriatic, would be a major risk for people that live in this area, but it is also a problem for all people that want to live in a better world.
To get signatures of German and Austrian tourists, volunteers from Greenpeace Austria visited Lignano Jesolo, Bibione and Caorle, two places near Chioggia.

India Aid Workers Struggle to Help Cyclone Victims
A tornado that ripped through part of India last week killed at least 131 people and made any attempt of aid a real trying task. Aid and rescue workers had to make their way through uprooted trees and downed power lines blocking roads to provide food and shelter to the hundreds of thousands of victims left homeless by the storm. In West Bengal state alone, at least 250,000 people became homeless, thanks to the cyclone. Srikumar Mukherji, minister for civil defense...
Walking on Air Never Felt so Good
Do you favor the Airwalk brand or know someone who does? If so, you can help them out by Doing Your Part. The well-known retailer has set aside $10,000 to donate to environmental charities, but it’s up to you to decide where the money goes. The two contenders for this donation are the Surfrider Foundation and Music for Relief. How the idea works is this: you simply go to Airwalk’s Doing Your Part website and pick a charity. Every time a...
Radiation fears top concerns in Japan earthquake/tsunami disaster
Japan has suffered greatly in recent days after a 9.0 earthquake struck the north of the country and triggered a tsunami which destroyed countless homes and likely killed over 10,000 people. Millions have been left without electricity, while food and water scarcity as well as lack of heat are threatening parts of northern Japan. Most of the media, however, has been gripped by the explosions and resultant radiation leaks at three reactors at a Japanese nuclear power plant called Fukushima Daiichi...
Dutch eco architects want to turn Pacific Garbage Patch into a sustainable island
It sounds like a complete fantasy and it probably is, but a group of Dutch environmental designers at WHIM Architecture want to turn the Great Pacific Garbage Patch into an eco friendly island paradise. But then again, a lot of great ideas start off as fantasies. The plan, dubbed ‘Recycled Island’, would simultaneously clean up the plastic from the Garbage Patch and create a livable, sustainable island space. With a hundred million tons of plastic floating in the Patch – most of...
Lower Carbon Emissions in the US Reported
In the past 2 years, the United States has dropped its carbon emissions by at least 9%, according to Lester Brown of the Washington Post. In the piece, he points out that finally, the US is starting to make some headway towards a greener future. Although the recession and high gas prices may have something to do with the drop, consider that aside from Americans using less oil, the over-all usage of coal has also dropped, and many companies are...
Dell headquarters powered by “solar trees”
Innovative as always, Dell has put up a series of solar trees in the parking area of its headquarters in Round Rock, Texas. The project covers 56 parking spots and is estimated to generate 130,000 kW/h annually. The solar trees are designed to give shade to parked cars and at the same time provide power to hybrid vehicles through its charging outlets. This parking lot revamp is an example of simple yet multi-functional designs other corporate companies can emulate. Read the...

Jumping on the green wagon this time is Tropicana Juice. The company has already made great effort in recycling and reducing their carbon footprint. Now, their...
Coral in the Arctic? Al Jazeera English on how the northern ocean is vulnerable to climate change
It is not only melting ice caps and rising sea levels that are being affected by climate change in the Arctic. The region's wildlife are also experiencing the influence of warming temperatures and it's not just the polar bears. There are fewer cute, fluffy, cuddly baby seals for the polar bears to eat. That's right, polar bears eat seals, but we can forgive them for that, can't we? Arctic coral reefs are too threatened by increasingly acidic ocean waters due...
California Park Sees First Successful California Condor Hatching in Over 100 Years!
Last year, I went on a journey through Arizona. One of the places I visited was the Grand Canyon. While there, I learned about the California Condor and was actually fortunate enough to see a few of them in flight. It was an awesome experience. If you are unfamiliar with the California Condor: it is the largest North American land bird, a critically endangered species, and the only living animal of the genus Gymnogyps. California Condors can live up to 50...
