Climate change, ecology, nature, environment, eco-friendly politics, non-profit projects, human rights, preservation, wildlife... all that we care about.
When we think of solar panels, we typically either visualize them on roofs or scattered about a desert somewhere. However, thanks to some innovative work, we may soon see them elsewhere—and in colder climates, too.
Recently, the new SyracuseCoE building (with LEED Platinum certification) was dedicated. This center was designed to be used as a living [...]
Germany may be number one when it comes to solar power in the EU, but they are about to get some heavy competition from Italy.
Italy plans to open Europe’s most powerful solar power plant later this year. The plant will be constructed by the US company SunEdison—the top solar power company in the US and [...]

If you are searching for a job these days, you may have noticed that some job search websites now offer a green career option. A company may use renewable energy or they may have a recycling program.

Facebook made headlines recently when they opted to have their new data center powered by coal (supposedly because it was a cheaper way to go).
