Thank you! This is really good news. I believe all country should learn from this. Maybe we can push the European Parliament?

When I was a kid, I thought that by the year 2000 most of the troubles in the world would be a thing of the past.. that the world would come closer together, and science and technology would resolve and cure everything. I even thought that the structures of our cars would be made out of photovoltaic cells. But I guess I was wrong.. it's just gonna take a bit longer.

btw.. Soren, I think it's great what you're doin' with solar power. To me, solar is the way to go!

Best regards

Give the Gift of Trees. Planting trees thru American Forests is a great way to give a gift of trees to a loved one that will never be forgotten. When you sponsor the planting of trees ($1 each, 15-tree minimum) we will send you (or your gift recipient)

Healthy forests filter water, remove air pollution, sequester carbon, and provide homes for wildlife. Help plant trees to restore areas damaged by wildfire, where critical wildlife habitat has been lost, and to clean our air and water.

Hello Group Members,

While the population of Mother Earth sympathizes with the illfated natural disasters, each individual must continue to strive for our global environments to sustain us in the future generations that succeed us.

.

David Suzuki, world renowned scientist, environmentalist, broadcaster keeps reminding us how fragile our beatiful earth is and how as individuals, we can make a difference. Replacing our incandescent light bulbs for carbon fluorescent lamps (CFL) can save 75% of the energy we use with CFL bulbs and save money on our Hydro Bills.

That's just one idea promoted by David Suzuki and in the media.

Go to http://www.davidsuzuki.org/Take_Action/ to learn more ways to a greener future for our kids.
