On March 29, 2008, join the global movement and turn off your lights at 8pm, no matter where you are in the world for one hour.

Is it just me, or is the issue of global warming cooling down?
Yesterday a massive chunk of ice, 7 times the size of Manhattan fell into the waters off of the Wilkins ice shelf on the western side of Antactica. The 1,500 year old ice that broke off into the ocean exposed ancient glaciers directly to ocean waters. Read More »
