  • Indonesia to plant 100 million trees this year
  • Cellphone industry eyes charger power savings — maybe a few BILLION phones DO add up to a lot of power.
  • Macedonians plant six million trees in single day — if the Macedonians can do 6 million, the USA should be able to plant 600 million
  • Sea surges could uproot millions in Nigeria megacity — Lagos would NOT be where I want to live it this happened
  • Canada wants North America cap-and-trade system — at once they just wanted to reduce intensity of emissions, now they’re willing to curb
  • Automakers detail electric car plans at L.A. show
