Green Education Network does not at this time have a final position on every aspect of this important debate, except to say we conclude that neither land nor crops grown for consumption as food by humans should be converted to ethanol fuel production on a massive scale. However…
Walmart’s ruse does next to nothing to reverse our course to catastrophe! GEN condemns EDF’s shamefully-distorting praise of it, and the elitist lifestyle EDF’s self-serving executives are living in consequence of such outrageous behavior!
URGENT: Whaling, Dolphin Slaughter, Carbon Credits, Boycott Corporate Greed. Green Education Network CEO Gregory Hilbert posts 4 appeals in one article as environmentalists fight onslaught of unsustainability at every turn
Sustainability? There is none! I’m as mad as hell, the only thing we’re sustaining is the wealth of the greedy corporate elite, and I’m not going to trust government or anyone else but THE PEOPLE to do something about it! — Green Education Network CEO Gregory Hilbert
Taxpayers pay billions in USPS junk mail subsidies to the same banks and other corporations that plunder us, billions to haul their unwanted junk away, and billions for the landfills where most of it gets dumped. The same greed-driven megabanks that taxpayers bailed out in 2009 pay only 19 cents to bombard Americans with low-interest CREDIT CARD offers that later sky-rocket to rates of 22% and higher, while citizens pay $0.44 to mail their payment to the same bank.
“If conservative Tea Party Republicans sweep the U.S. fall elections, the conquest of America by corporate greed will be complete. By mid-century the world will be purged of billions of human beings our planet will no longer have the resources to sustain.”

It’s not the water the townspeople banned, it’s the selling of it in plastic bottles. In the U.S., most nonbiodegradable plastic bottles are not recycled, despite the billions of them that are subject to deposit laws meant to incent their return so that they can be recycled.

As of June 22, 2009, U.S. population was 306,731,155. World population was 6,788,199,388, increasing by 2.3 every second.
Overpopulation is a condition where an organism’s numbers exceed the carrying capacity of its habitat. In common parlance, the term usually refers to the relationship between the human population and its environment, the Earth.[1]
Overpopulation does not depend only [...]
Even as Congress belatedly tackles legislation that would cut U.S. carbon emissions and international negotiators have bickered over a global climate deal in Bonn, a new report by several federal agencies underscores the truths that too often risk getting lost in politics: global warming is real, it’s happening now and if we don’t act soon, [...]

Community Gardens are a great idea and increasingly popular for many good reasons! Growing your own food locally conserves energy compared to buying food shipped thousands of miles to stores and thus requiring the burning of a lot of petroleum. So, community gardens are good for Mother Earth. That’s good for you too, but there are many more reasons: It’s [...]
Tidal power is a form of hydropower that converts the energy of tides into electricity or other useful forms of power.
Although not yet widely used, tidal power has potential for future electricity generation. Tides are more predictable than wind energy and solar power. Historically, tide mills have been used, both in Europe and on the [...]
