6 months ago, the media didn't give a toss about either, now suddenly they are falling over themselves to prove their green credentials.

Does the Uk really give damn or is it all based on Politcal Spin?

Do you use yourgrey wheely bin?

I mean grow your own food and heat your own home without relying on oil and gas. I think I read this once in a book called Bioneers. She used composting to heat home and so on. Anyone know about this.

Oil is above $80 per barrel. The price of natural gas, an energy source and important industrial feedstock, is also rising.

Americans seem to be struggling with the high cost of fuel for their cars and homes. The cost of food and energy are rising which elevates the cost of living. The dollar is falling around the world and our trade deficits grow.

In light of these, do you think that we face an energy crisis, and if so, how are you preparing?

Among having been the deciding vote to alleviate the gas tax when he was VP he also owns 5 homes one of which burned over ten times the average amount of energy for the area, as well as not having alternative energy sources to power them.

Don't get me wrong I'm a huge environmentalist and if all Gore has done anything he has brought attention to the issue. I just think the spokesman from the environment should practice what he preaches. So giving the award to Al Gore instead of someone truly deserving seems a rather political than earnest move by the part of the Nobel peace prize committee.

"Awarding it to Al Gore cannot be seen as anything other than a political statement. Awarding it to the IPCC is well-founded," said Bjorn Lomborg, author of "The Skeptical Environmentalist."

A recent report is urging the government to sponsor a demonstration of the technology used to harness solar power in hopes of spurring private investment.

Rising oil prices have made the technology more appealing, and would reduce the nation's dependence on imported oil and help reduce the production of carbon dioxide.

It would be almost 10 years before energy could be prduced in abundance.

Is there a downside to this?

Conservative estimates of the spending on the war in iraq total over 500 billion dollars. This would be enough money to supply energy to 60 million homes if spent on solar or wind energy sources. Or, the money could have been invested in new energy research, battery technology, and electric cars, and yielded even greater energy independence. So why aren't these things being done?

Right now, I have no choice (am in junior high) but when I'm older I will use a bike for transportation. To carry stuff I will have 2 bikes--one to exercise with, the other with a wagon rolling behind to carry things. It will keep me fit and I won't contribute to global warming! When buying food I could carry a cooler in the wagon and put the food in there.

I wish there was some sort of ecofriendly flying device that you just snap on and use to go places, but no such thing exists.

Is it a good idea? Far-fetched? Just plain dumb? What do you think?

I'm really into saving the Earth--you know, recycling bottles, paper, and cans, and donating to organizations like Greenpeace--and I think this will help. And to prevent natural resources from being used up to make the bike, I'll go to a garage sale to get a pretty good, but secondhand bike.

I won't travel a lot, so getting places fast isn't really a problem. If I need to use a car, I'll borrow a friend's hybrid or something.

We are trying to be more "green" aware, doing recycling all we can, composting, etc. But what about this paint? Even though it's latex (water based) I'm sure there is nasty stuff in it!

I have a studio I work in that is lighted with fluorescent light and I'm in and out of that area several times each day. Should I be turning that light on and off as I enter and leave the room or leave it on for the 12 hours or so that the room might be used each day?

I work in an office and we waste tons of paper a day by just throwing it away.

I'd like to get a recycling bin, but I don't know where to get one.

How do I go about this?
