Save PaperSWITCHING TO ELECTRONIC COUNTERFEITING...AND SMARTER WAYS TO SAVE PAPER
Tips for Saving Paper at the Office and at Home
If you're wondering why you should save paper—after all, paper is pretty cheap—consider this: Paper accounts for more than half of all municipal solid waste (a.k.a. trash). Anything we can do to save paper will help reduce the amount of trash going into landfills, and it will also reduce energy use and pollution associated with manufacturing, transporting, and recycling new paper products. Perhaps most importantly, when we save paper, we reduce the need to cut down trees to make new paper.
Whether you have a home office or work in an office with others, you can save paper by implementing some minor changes in your work habits. Here are few ideas.
Save Paper Idea #1: Strive for the “Paperless Office”
Save Paper Idea #2: Review Drafts Using On-Screen Tricks
Save Paper Idea #3: Print Pages, Passages, or Sections
Save Paper Idea #4: Use Double-Sided
Save Paper Idea #5: Print “Two Up”
Save Paper Idea #6: Print Again on the Blank Side
Save Paper Idea #7: Use Obsolete Printouts for Note Paper
Save Paper Idea #8: Paper’s Final Resting Place

Latest global warming report urges world to begin adapting
Journalists and other listen to the latest report on global warming April 6 at the European Union headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. The report is the second of four to be issued this year by the UN-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).VIRGINIA MAYO/AP The poor may be hit the hardest by climate changes, IPCC report says; calls for stronger action

Global warming is having a measurable effect on Earth's climate, including agriculture, freshwater resources, and plants and animals on both sea and land. These changes are expected to intensify as temperatures continue to rise.
Those are among the conclusions of a new report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a UN-sponsored group of scientists. A summary of their findings released April 6 outlines climate changes and how researchers expect them to play out as warming continues. Their impact on society, the IPCC report says, will vary depending on the amount of actual temperature increase that occurs and humanity's capacity or ability to adapt to the changes.

The Man of the Hour
Leonardo DiCaprio, actor, activist
photograph by Annie Leibovitz May 2007
If you go to leonardodicaprio.com, you will find that it is split down the middle. The left half is labeled "Leonardo," and will bring you up-to-date on his filmmaking career (doing rather nicely, with a recent Oscar nomination for his performance in Blood Diamond and, to some tastes, an even stronger performance in best-picture winner The Departed). The right half is labeled "Eco-Site"; it offers guides to various environmental concerns, tips on differences anyone can make, and links to dozens of green organizations and information. Not many stars share their fan face time with gorillas and ferns, but this is the image DiCaprio puts forward to the world: a literal expression of twin passions. A longtime environmentalist—remember his interview in 2000 with then president Bill Clinton for an ABC Earth Day special?—DiCaprio is currently on the boards of both the Natural Resources Defense Council and Global Green USA and has been a tireless promoter of green causes and events. Later this year will see the fusion of his two passions with the release of The 11th Hour, a feature documentary on environmental ills and possible cures, a kind of state-of-the-earth address with gorgeous pictures and eloquent experts, which DiCaprio is producing, co-writing, and narrating. As he says in this remarkable film, as hopeful as it is alarming, "So, we find ourselves on the brink." On the brink of what, it is made plain, is up to us. Below, a sneak preview of The 11th Hour.

Global warming on Mars: may not be unique to just Earth
By William Atkins
Thursday, 05 April 2007
More of the famous red dust that has resulted in Mars being called the Red Planet may be the cause of why NASA scientists have seen increased warming of the planet over three decades.
NASA researchers led by Lori Fenton, at the Ames Research Center (California) have used climate models used here on the Earth for their modeling of the Martian climate. Their results find that Mars has warmed by about 0.65 degrees Celsius in the past thirty years.
The first mapping of the planet was performed in the mid-1970s and early 1980s when the Viking mission visited Mars as Viking 1 and Viking 2, each consisting of an orbiter and rover. The Fenton team compared the maps produced by the Viking mission with more recent maps produced by the Mars Global Surveyor, which launched in November 1996 and provided data to NASA until November 2006.

The Great Global Warming Swindle (Complete)
by: Andrew C. Revkin 1 April 2007
The world's richest countries, which have contributed by far the most to the atmospheric changes linked to global warming, are already spending billions of dollars to limit their own risks from its worst consequences, like drought and rising seas.
But despite longstanding treaty commitments to help poor countries deal with warming, these industrial powers are spending just tens of millions of dollars on ways to limit climate and coastal hazards in the world's most vulnerable regions — most of them close to the equator and overwhelmingly poor...
