Declining Population seen as the coming problem

Environmentalist and author Stewart Brand, an advocate of geoengineering to combat climate change, explains that "human technology" has been "disturbing the atmosphere and climate" for the last 10,000 years, but he also rejected the prescription of some environmentalists who have argued that global economic development needs to be stopped, an idea Brand called "unjust." Brand also predicted that a declining, not an increasing, human population will be seen as the problem of the future, saying that "by the second half of the century the population crisis will be seen as not enough people."

The start of 2010 brought changes in the law for officer managers in the District of Columbia. Under the new law, the Clean and Affordable Energy Act, passed in 2008, building owners will have to publicly disclose energy ratings starting in 2012, which will give prospective tenants and buyers an easy-to-understand way to compare the energy consumption and operating costs of buildings. Added to this, federal tenants are reqired that they lease space only in buildings that are Energy Star compliant. Now, property managers are making it economically attractive for businesses and buildings to go green and be more energy efficient. Source: Clean Skies News

A little more than two years ago, officals in Jackson County, Florida welcomed the world's largest wood pellet plant to the town of Cottondale. Since then, Green Circle Bio Energy has been busy establishing its manufacturing operation, with its unique production of wood pellets as a cleaner fuel for power plants. The plant is now almost at full capacity and the finished pellets are taken by train to the Port of Panama City where they will be shipped overseas to be used as coal substitutes in European power plants.
