Our organization is dedicated to increasing awareness of the terrible health consequences of asbestos exposure through the distribution of the best informational materials and public outreach efforts.<br /> <br />I found your site through a search and decided to contact you because of its high environmental and green presence which is extremely important in our movement. Your viewers are extremely savvy and motivated. The promotion of how buildings should now be built using sustainable green products to avoid asbestos and mesothelioma as well as the awareness of past buildings and preventative steps in avoiding asbestos exposure are extremely important. My goal is to get a resource link on your site/blog or even to provide a guest posting to be placed.<br /> <br />I look forward to hearing from you. Please feel free to check out our website. Thank you for your time and consideration. <br /> <br />Bill Hawthorne<br />bhawthorne@maacenter.org<br />MAA Center is now on Twitter – follow us @maacenterBill Hawthornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17899793626412072727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819001864210412607.post-12906310177205498062009-08-02T22:02:52.110-07:002009-08-02T22:02:52.110-07:00The Blue Sheets?

Which stage did they play on?<br /><br />Heh heh just kidding!<br /><br />I agree that the whole concept of the eco festival should be improved at Fuji. <br /><br />A few recycle stands and eco stalls - exactly the same few as the last 2 years - doesn't exactly represent a commitment to improving the environment.<br /><br />Nice blog.Shiffi Le Soyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904935889685600168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819001864210412607.post-78851749147510724402009-06-21T22:23:22.963-07:002009-06-21T22:23:22.963-07:00Nice one.

With current technology ... current it is estimated that we already have the potential through efficiencies and political will etc to reduce current global energy needs by 90%!<br />With countries like Spain putting Governments like Japan and the US to shame - it cannot agree tht there are no alternatives to fossil fuels (Spain can currently produce 40% of its electricity from wind alone and increased its wind energy potential 20 times in only 10 years) ... political will and well tested technology.<br />As for no global warming .... sorry can't go these with so little time.ifd66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16762674040746452248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819001864210412607.post-75480988026489187062009-05-19T01:07:00.000-07:002009-05-19T01:07:00.000-07:00I'm also curious how you'll react to this rather s...I'm also curious how you'll react to this rather sobering speech on Energy Myths and Realities by <br />Keith O. Rattie.<br /><br />His thesis is that global warming may or may not be a fact since computer models used to predict it are flawed and limited. <br /><br />Furthermore it's absurd to imagine that our demands for energy could fall, it's going to balloon in the next 50 years.<br /><br />Rattie: "Worldwide demand for energy will grow by 30-50% over the next two decades - and more than double by the time you’re my age. Simply put, America and the rest of the world will need all the energy that markets can deliver.<br /><br />There are no near-term alternatives to oil, natural gas, and coal. Like it or not, the world runs on fossil fuels, and it will for decades to come."<br /><br />What do you think?<br /><br />Link to speech:<br /><br />http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/05/14/now-thats-a-commencement-speech/Shiffi Le Soyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904935889685600168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819001864210412607.post-91887012718742929442009-05-19T00:50:00.000-07:002009-05-19T00:50:00.000-07:00Scaarey photo!
