SURF WITH A CLEAR MIND!!

Coastal Surf can be a great way to spend your outdoor adventure time. Recyclable materials like bamboo are used to create sleek modern eco freindly long boards and short boards. These boards have a non toxic foam core which reduces waste and prevents toxic leaks. Bamboo is more renewable than trees which can take up to 50 years to fully mature, whereas bamboo is fully grown in 3 to 5 years. Join the surf with a clear mind! GO GREEN!

Bamboo Surfboards Australia won the annual Australian International Award- Click below to see why!

The Prince of Wales: On our "living hell" Tackling Renewable Income and Sustainability!

At this year's BBC's One annual Richard Dimbleby, Prince Charles held a lecture at St. James Palace in front of a live audience.

He referred to an earlier speech back in March, where we pointed out we had only 100 months to change our means of production before climate change is irreversible. Now we are down to 96 months. We have move to a "New Age of Sustainability", he added.

If you think of our global population last census July 2009 is 6.7 Billion people, one solution lies in the way we build and plan dwellings. This reduces co2 emissions buy using local materials and invests in job opoortunities for the people in the area. Sustainability creates a balance. harmony, with the enviroment or space around it.

ART AND ECOLOGY

James Acord, Mark Waller, Carey Young explored the economic and cultural legacy of atomic power in an exhibition of commissioned works shown in London 1998, Slovenia 1999, Nottingham 1999.

His argument is that ‘art is not frivolous’ and that scientists shouldn’t have a monopoly of access to nuclear technology.



His deadly serious ambition to build a 'nuclear Stonehenge' on a heavily contaminated site at Hanford - home of the Bomb - has led him through a tragi-comic dance with the US Department of Energy.

This man is wild. It is pushing the boundaries of what is art or rather dangerous and disastrous.

On the other hand, the Critical Art Ensemble he said was interested in ’stopping the abuse of information so we can make an intelligent decision.’

ASSISTED MIGRATION

Assisted Migration!!!

Our current environmental situation affects us as people as well as everything around us. Annually thousands migrate down to South Florida and exotic islands to escape freezing temperatures. We have taken a step further at looking at life in other planets, as we realize that we in fact are eating our planet away. Now as if straight from the bible we have be come the wanna be Moses! Scientist and researchers are faced with the fact that climate change will force "managed relocation" of wildlife. Rare species are facing threat to their survival from temperature changes resulting in habitat loss. These animals that consist from fish to butterflies to the rare Spanish lynx will be transported to other parts of the world where they might escape extinction.

Featured Poster of the Week!!

The Interior Department is letting stand the Bush administration regulation that limits protection of polar bears from global warming.

Our irresponsible decisions will be landing at our doorstep! Fatal habitat loss continues to threaten our wildlife. Polar bears walk long distances to reach food and migrate to other ares in the North. With increasing climate tempreratures glaciers are melting forcing polar bears to plunge to their deaths. Act now! visit your local wildlife organization or send a letter to congress. This is one of hundreds of thousands of species now facing extinction.

Environmentalists have strongly opposed the rule as have many members of Congress. They argued the limits violate the Endangered Species Act because the release of greenhouse gases from power plants, factories and cars indirectly threaten the bear's survival.
