Probably most environmentalists at some point face the dilemma between the lesser of two evils. Do “green” people walk the talk or do they walk only when the road is nicely paved, clean and poses no moral predicaments? According to green-tipster Michael Bloch, anyone attempting to “go green” needs to accept that such an evolution takes baby […]
Green is the New Red: Environmental Activism under Attack
As part of the environmental activism movement, I could not help but share with you this great interview on Grist. I repost it below with some amendments to make for an easier read. At a time when everyone is going green, most people are unaware that the FBI is using anti-terrorism resources to target environmentalists. […]
Amazing Conservation Photography
A photo says a thousand words – especially amazing conservation photography that evokes a myriad of emotions. Conservation photography may be a discipline you’ve never heard of. The foundations have been around since the beginning of photography itself. However, using images to make people aware of, and respond to, environmental issues is a genre that […]
Rhino Poaching: Who is Killing Africa’s Rhinos
Who is behind rhino poaching? Dare to watch the video at the end of the post. Who Needs Rhino Horns With the steep rise of wealth in China and Vietnam, the perception of rhino horn benefits seems grow as well. Rhino horn has zero medicinal value but rhino poaching has still continuously increased. In an article by TIME […]
I Don’t Care About The Environment
I don’t care about the environment. We have had our Facebook page for a while now and it has certainly grown well given that we do not advertise. Yet, I have noticed that the really active people are not more a mere 1 percent. Does the rest care and do they even read the posts? What […]
Control the World through Genetically Modified Food
The war between genetically modified food supporters, or rather – bribed entities and enslaved farmers without voice, and anti-GM activists, has been long and painful. That war is not a cultural issue but a common sense issue. How much meddling in our food is permissible and is it right one company holds potentially 90 per cent […]
Greenwashing and Green Marketing
Greenwashing and green marketing have certainly contributed to a challenge we face today. As Albert Einstein once said “We can not solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used to create them.” Recently I came across an interesting and yet controversial article on the topic. Joel Makower, chairman and executive editor of GreenBiz Group […]
Climate Change Denial
There are still many people who downplay and dismiss the scientific consensus on the extent of climate change, its significance, and its connection to human behavior, especially for commercial or ideological reasons. The relationships between industry-funded denial and public denial of climate change skepticism are comparable to earlier efforts by the tobacco industry to undermine what […]
Consumerism and the Pursuit of Happiness
I love Consumerism. The idea of “I SHOP, therefore I AM” is a fantastic ego boost, so what’s not to like? Wikipedia explains Consumerism as “a social and economic order that is based on the systematic creation and fostering of a desire to purchase goods and services in ever greater amounts”. Great, we all deserve […]
My First Antarctic Expedition Story with Robert Swan
My First Antarctic Expedition Story was life-changing. They say the worst part of a beautiful dream is when it is over. The best part is when you realize that that dream just transformed your world and marked the beginning of an inspiration for a lifetime. How Did it Happen Early in 2011, I had the exceptional honor […]
