Palm oil is one...

On Tuesday, Greenpeace held a protest at computer giant Dell's Round Rock, Texas, headquarters for the company's backtracking on its public commitment to eliminate key toxic chemicals in its products by 2009.

In their proposed legislation, the Senators claim that "nuclear energy is the largest provider of clean, low-carbon, electricity...." Funny we've heard that before. In fact, the bill's nuclear...

Sometimes it's better to laugh than cry, and believe me, the reality that we might rely on carbon offsets as a primary means to reduce our global warming emissions is enough to make me weep. The situation is so absurd that Greenpeace this week launched thecroc.org, a satirical...

When it comes to global climate change, all of our choices matter, right down to what we put on our feet.

We know that IT industry can and should be at the vanguard of climate solutions. We have all seen how tech companies compete with each other to provide the newest, fastest, and shiniest gizmos to power our lives. It is only natural then that they now apply that know-how and...
