A lot of hoo-ha has been kicked up in Britain this week about the Right's use of some UK politicians' quotations, taken out of context, to be used in advertising campaigns against President Obama's health care plan.

Britain's National Health Service provides universal health care to every British citizen. No...

It's difficult, sometimes, to wade through the many thousands of different campaigns and initiatives that, for all their success and good intent, clutter up the business of trying to get a real change in global environmental policy. This World Environment Day, however, I have been drawn to the Prince of...

You know -- I could get used to this whole 'change' thing that's going on around Washington. It's sort of refreshing and pleasant.

It's amazing that after eight years of Bush, you forget that a lot of politicians don't try to create that aura of faux perfection, and actually...

OK - so everyone's a bit down at the moment. Stock markets crashing. Unemployment rising. Politicians getting arrested. So, for me at least, a little escapism in the form of a light-hearted rom-com is an enjoyable way of letting go. Perhaps tuck into The Holiday, Love Actually, Sex and the...

Just as I think Barack Obama might, just might, be able to lead us out of the environmental hell-hole that we have been led into by the Bush Administration, I forget about what he's up against.

What really horrifies me about ExxonMobil's record-breaking profits this quarter is not how big...

Impossible as it is to miss the goings on of late on Wall Street and abroad, I still feel just a little bit optimistic about the future.

I realize that stock prices don't bring social change, but they can change attitudes -- as aptly demonstrated by the collapse of Lehman...

Words cannot describe the absolute shock that ran through me when I had heard of Ohio Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones' aneurysm on Tuesday. Her death is a truly insurmountable blow to this country and its people, and to the people of Cleveland, Ohio, who for ten years were nobly represented...

With Barack Obama concluding his Middle-Eastern and European tour today, it got me thinking about just how much I really want to get rid of the status quo and get started on the 'change'.

Obama stopped by at 10 Downing Street to visit Gordon Brown - with whom he most...

Richard Branson announced, Tuesday, that he would be investing in Mosquito Island, the neighbour to Necker Island, his pad in the British Virgin Islands.

I myself have been to the BVIs a number of times and so, equipped with some local knowledge, was therefore more than a bit concerned with...

A question that often gets asked me is how businesses can be good effectors of substantial and noticeable green policies.

A so, I thought I would list some of the best ones, as they are easy, affordable, and soon bring back return:

If you're going to have A-C, make sure...

Through all the excitement about nominees, and superdelegates, and Clinton (who, by the way, I had thrown my lot in for, but there we go) not conceding until she had to be pushed out the door rather than leave gently (I would expect nothing less!), there has been something grating...

I was incredibly saddened by the news of the death of legendary and iconic fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, who died Sunday evening at his home in Paris.

His work, which was worn by some of the most influential and beautiful (I don't suggest those two descriptors are exclusive from...

On Monday, the Senate will debate the Lieberman-Warner bill, surprisingly bold legislation from the two senators which, if passed, would be 'one giant leap for mankind' towards stopping our addiction to carbon-based fuel supplies and placing a price on carbon.

The bill, which would cap greenhouse gas emissions by...

It is nice to know that, in this climate of financial change -- where markets are tumbling, shares are crumbling, and currencies are stumbling -- some things carry on as they always have done.

Well, I say "nice."

The annual meeting of shareholders of Exxon Mobil occurred Wednesday,...
