A worker tends to one of the solar panels Sarnia Solar Project, in Sarnia Ontario, Canada. The 950 acre facility has 1.3 million panels and produces 80-megawatt which is enough power to service 292,000 homes, making the solar farm the largest solar farm in the world.
Another AI-generated idea. Instead of an empty Scottish glen, what if Glen Almond had mountainsides covered in native Pine and oak and birch woodland, Alder and Willow trees beside the river, small stone farmhouse in the middle distance?
Nobody's saying it has to be 100% chock-full of trees. If anything, it could look better balanced with some trees up the lower slopes of the mountains and still have enough space for pasture and even humans if they want. It's just a matter of land-ownership law...
We then headed back up to the rooftop (level 11) of Shangrila Hotel in Bandaran Berjaya. The city was half in darkness, especially out at sea ~ you can't see Gaya Island. It was also disappointing to see some hotels and shopping malls not taking part in Earth Hour. Le Meridien Hotel offed their hotel name wording and some of the guests offed their room lights too, while the neighbouring Centre Point couldn't care less. Look at the amount of energy used to produce those very bright sport light rays!
A subtle environmental message on the rapidly increasing water consumption. This is contrasted by the lush green grass in the background.

When we visited La Salle the students seemed really keen to find out all about Eco Superstar, talk to John and ask Magda our sound op "why are you pointing a stuffed bunny rabbit in my face?". Make sure you visit ecosuperstar.com.au to see our other pics and blogs from our visit.

The Forestry Commission are no friends of mine.
At least there's snow on the top of Cruachan again, though - even in the middle of May.

Steve Nagy of First Solar walks between the rows of photovoltaic collectors at the Sarnia Photovoltaic (PV) Farm. When opened in 2010 it was the worlds largest solar farm.
The students at La Salle know what they are talking about when it comes to entering environmental competitions! We spoke to some young ladies who have rolled out a WA wide comp to encourage schools to reduce their carbon footprint. We said "WOW!" They said "All in a days work". We again said "WOW!" Expect big things from these guys...
Sadly this is not a real forest undergrowth - this is impoverished, the results of planting a monoculture of sitka spruce or similar conifers with no regard to biodiversity.

While Atlanta's upscale magazines advertise dozens of highrise condominium projects with prices well into the millions, some are saying the city only has a few months of water left...
Class With Daves: The Audit Group ~ Assignment CWD401 "The Magazine Ad"
The psychology of the matter is that any reward (feeling good about recycling) is remote in space-time, located elsewhere (supermarket or other facility) and requires effort, while the alternative course of action, namely flinging it out the car window, is readily accessible - more immediate. Put simply, people would prefer to be given $7 today than $10 next week. On these grounds, litter is understandable.
Options:
1) carrot: institute a reward system for returning plastic and glass to shops
2) stick: how about making it mandatory for bottle manufacturers to include some kind of "please recycle / dispose of me responsibly" graphic on the label, in a similar fashion to health warnings on cigarette packets?
Questions:
Are you aware of bottle-cap refund schemes? Would you say they, or an attitude of recycling, rated highly in your country's national consciousness? Do you think there's merit in option 2? Answers weighing-up the roles of individual and corporate responsibility will be particularly appreciated.

Chicago has this great public art exhibit going right now called Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet. Artists from around the world participated in creating more than 120 of these globes (all roughly the same size and scale) to promote environmental awareness. I wish I'd have been smart enough to write down the artists and titles of these to give them appropriate credit, but I wasn't (it was 90 degrees and very, very, very muggy outside...my brain wasn't workin'!). These are a few of my favorite of the globes. Each one is presented and described on individual plaques around the base of each...these plaques not only list the idea behind each piece and the artist, but also tips to get yourself involved in cooling our planet. It's a great exhibit...if you're in the Chicago area any time soon, you should really check it out!!
