This initiates a chain of destruction that can include more logging, mining, slash-and-burn clearing for cattle grazing and conversion for chemical-intensive industrial agriculture. Most of the resultant products are exported to northern industrialized countries.]]> http://susty.com/tropical-deforestation-basics-problem-solution-get-your-fix-environment-eco-friendly-green-design/feed/ 0 Green Patriarch Opens Eighth Environmental Symposium In New Orleans (Video) http://susty.com/green-patriarch-opens-eighth-environmental-symposium-in-new-orleans-video/ http://susty.com/green-patriarch-opens-eighth-environmental-symposium-in-new-orleans-video/#comments Thu, 22 Oct 2009 01:49:02 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=7727 "Green Patriarch" Bartholomew of the Eastern Orthodox church officially opened the Eighth Religion, Science and the Environment (RSE) Symposium, entitled “Restoring Balance: The Great Mississippi River,” taking place for the next five days including a large and diverse group of theologians, scientists, policymakers, environmentalists, representatives of business and NGOs, and media.

The quest for cost-effective energy via efficiency has led to a practice known as “free cooling:” air from outside the data center is used when the temperature is cool, while falling back on chillers on warmer days. Google takes this strategy to the next level eliminating chillers altogether in its data center near Saint-Ghislain, Belgium. Bonus feature is an on-site water purification facility that allows it to use water from a nearby industrial canal rather than a municipal water utility. Google anticipates free cooling at the facility for about seven days per year, but what's really fascinating is what happens when the weather gets hot.]]> http://susty.com/google-global-warming-fight-data-center-no-chillers/feed/ 0 SHOCK: White House Climate Change Policy: ‘Make Us Do It’ (Video) http://susty.com/white-house-climate-change-policy-make-us-bill-mckibben-greenpeace-shock-video/ http://susty.com/white-house-climate-change-policy-make-us-bill-mckibben-greenpeace-shock-video/#comments Fri, 10 Jul 2009 13:34:42 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=6996 SHOCKER: White House tells McKibben "Make Us Do It" When it Comes to Real and Significant Climate Change Policy 350.org posts a casual video chat between Greenpeace UK and author and activist Bill McKibben with one comment coming across as nothing short of jaw-dropping. Noting that the current constellation of political forces does not allow for getting done what needs to get done, McKibben says:
I was at the White House a month ago. The clear message was 'Make us do it. Build the movement that gives us the room to do the things we want to do.'
