Soldier 1:
We starve-look
At one another
Short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation
Of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes

Powers Of Ten
A film about how large the universe is and how powers of ten become so drastically distant.
Powers of Ten combines the interest of mathematics and geography together and is summeried through numbers and speed
Wang Xi: «Tree Of Energy»
Good bye nuclear power, hello future!
Moby – The Day – Good bye nuclear power, hello future!
This is my Video-Clip for the Challenge below…
Hello Future!
Every day when I wake up I can see the solution of all the energy-problems up there in the sky! And every day I ask myself why aren’t we using the power of the sun in a more sophisticated way? To make this Video-Clip I used my old Camcorder and switched to the mirror mode. Symmetry is very important and we shall learn much more from the nature! In the video you can see how it looks like when you drive from Zürich to Winterthur on a sunny day. The public transport in Switzerland works pretty well and yet there is the big issue of the energy. The day when we can catch the power of the sun to move trains and even to fly around will be the day when I say good bye nuclear power, hello future!
In the original video-clip the story is about a sick lady in a hospital and in fact this sick lady is our mother earth! But who will be the angel who can devend us from all evil? Who?
Isn’t there a little eco-angel in all of us?

Moby ‘The Day’ Behind The Scenes
Moby sings “The Day” against US budget cuts
Multi-award winning recording artist and activist Moby took to the web this week to show his support for a campaign organized by MoveOn that asks for those angered with Republican budget proposals to fast as a form of protest. Though it won’t be officially released until next month, Moby provided MoveOn with his new single “The Day” to serve as a backdrop to a video the organization produced to raise awareness of its recent campaign. Moby was one of around 30,000 people who fasted in protest of the Republican-backed budget.
Isn’t every day earth day?
Supporters from all across the country joined hip hop legend DJ Biz Markie to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Earth Day by recording a clean energy remix of his classic song,Just a Friend — and some of our staff couldn’t resist either!
With our planet facing a generational challenge and our leaders falling far short in their response to the urgency of the climate crisis, its easy to succumb to doom and gloom. But each of us came to this movement because of the passion we find in working together to build a sustainable future for ourselves, our children and our grandchildren.

Building a clean energy future
At Google, sustainability is a core value that comes directly from our founders, and we believe being green makes business sense.
We all need better energy options. That’s why Google is helping find new solutions to build a clean energy future—for ourselves, and the world.
We believe in using Google’s strengths—technology, innovation, scalability and talented engineers—to design tools that help users, scientists and non-profit organizations create a more sustainable future.
We’ve also incorporated green features into our products—like transit and biking directions in Google Maps and Carbon Disclosure Project ratings for companies in Google Finance.
Google Earth Engine
We developed the Google Earth Engine platform to enable global-scale monitoring and measurement of changes in the earth’s environment. Earth Engine makes an unprecedented catalog of imagery and data available online in one place, for researchers and scientists to use. By using Google’s computing infrastructure to run analyses across thousands of computers, we’ve cut the time to analyze data, making unthinkable tasks possible for the first time. In particular, we’re working with scientists and researchers to use Earth Engine to support the development of systems to monitor, report and verify efforts to stop deforestation, which accounts for 12-17% of annual global greenhouse gas emissions.
Google PowerMeter
We believe consumers should have access to detailed and actionable information about their home energy use throughout the day—to help them save money and make smart energy decisions. Studies show that access to energy information helps people reduce their energy use by up to 15%. That’s why we’ve developed Google PowerMeter, a free energy monitoring tool that allows you to view your home’s energy consumption online, and support the range of technology, tools, and policies that foster an open ecosystem for energy information.
Google for Nonprofits
Google supports non-profit organizations dedicated to preserving the environment by providing free tools to raise awareness, reach and engage supporters, and improve operations. Google Earth Outreach gives nonprofits and public benefit organizations like Defenders of Wildlife the knowledge and resources they need to visualize their causes and tell their stories in Google Earth and Maps.
The future is green!

The 5min overview of Clean Energy sources
One benefit the global community began to receive as a result of high commodity and fossil fuel prices was a resurged interest in exploring alternate, cleaner energy sources. A similar momentum was created after the US Oil Crisis of the early ‘70s. Policy makers went about introducing new schemes to cut fuel consumption (such as CARF) and fuel economy became the new measuring stick. (See my other post on fuel efficient cars of the 70s.) However once the political situation in the middle east settled down and re-access to Oil was negotiated, the US (and Canada along with it) waned on furthering alternate energy research.
I’m hopeful the same thing won’t happen this time around. Firstly, technology has advanced significantly in the last 30years that reduce the gap in ‘performance’ of alternatives. And secondly the global voice on climate change is louder and garnered more support than ever before. The price of consuming natural resources in the production of goods is increasing. Carbon taxes have been introduced in British Columbia, Cap&Trade carbon emission schemes (such as The European Union’s Emission Trading Scheme) are growing and will one day operate just like the NSYE with the same maturity of standards and regulatory oversight.
This movement isn’t going away and so to me this means it’s time to get a little more educated on alternative means to cleaner energy.
The “clean energy tree’’ provides us with a summary.
They are:
- renewables (for power generation)—including wind, biomass, geothermal, solar
- biofuels—including ethanol, biodiesel, and advanced next generation cellulosic-
based fuels - (photovoltaics [PV] and concentrating solar power [CSP]), and ocean power
- carbon capture and storage—particularly as it applies to coal-fired power generation
facilities - conventional clean technologies—nuclear energy and hydropower
Of these, Hydro, Nuclear and Wind are the most advanced. BC, fortuitous with its geography is a prime example of this Hydro generation. Advancement heavily depends upon policy support and private investment, which is, in turn, strongly affected by fossil fuel price cycles and carbon pricing. In British Columbia, the energy policy can can read about here. Alberta’s key energy initiatives can be read about here.
Let’s see where our government takes us. And if they’re not leading us the direction you want it go then speak up.
Solar Powered Street Lights at Angkor Wat
NOTHING dESIGN GROUP, a Korean design studios and Asiana Airlines, a Korean airlines company, together with Korea International Cooperation Agencies (KOICA) have collaborated to develop and install Solar Powered Street Lights to the world cultural heritage sites designated by UNESCO in the Angkor Wat, Cambodia. The lights installed there to protect and provide security for tourists visiting the area.
NOTHING dESIGN GROUP and Asiana have installed 16 Solar Powered Street Lights around the Angkor Wat, and plans to install 5-10 additional Solar Powered Street Lights every year till 2015. Compared with typical street lights that use incandescent lamps (150 W), Solar Powered Street Lights contribute in eliminating the CO2 emissions to 240 kg, it’s equivalent to planting 86 pine trees.
