Deja Vu: Dolphins Herde...
For the second year in a row, Taiji, Japan is free of blood-stained water one week into the annual dolphin hunt. A pod of around 10 dolphins (initial reports said 20) that were earlier driven into the infamous killing cove have now been set free . Well, some of them. Just like last year, a few of the best dolphins were rounded up to be sold to aquariums. As was told in Blood Dolphins , such sales account for a large portion of income for Taiji fisherman. So while it was a week devoid...
Calling Clooney: New We...
If classy had a ‘face’, it would look exactly like George Clooney’ s easy-on-the-eyes mug. The confident yet ever-humble Academy Award winner was recognized for his dedication to global humanitarian issues during Sunday’s 62 nd Annual Primetime Emmy Award ceremony and spent the majority of his time on stage shining light on the value and necessity of assisting those who befall unfortunate circumstances well beyond their control. After being presented with a shiny new Bob Hope... Calling Clooney: New We...

Buzz For ‘Cool It’ ...
The 2006 Oscar winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth , which pretty much put climate change and environmental awareness at the forefront of our minds, is still considered to be the cream of the crop in terms of educational and illuminating eco-films. As far as we know, Al Gore isn’t busily working on an update, but he may want to whip out a pad and pencil now that Cool It is about to make its debut. Helmed by Yale graduate and two-time Sundance Grand Jury Prize winning...
Oil Tycoon Future For R...
His portrayal of brawny, less-than-brainy lothario Sam Malone in Cheers is woven into the fabric of our pop culture, however Ted Danson has proven throughout the decades that his range as an actor goes well beyond dumb and good-looking. Whether he stumbles along as a pot-addicted, party-seeking sidekick to Jason Schwartzman on Bored To Death or portrays a corrupt, money-bags CEO on Damages , he always manages to deliver a pitch-perfect performance. Now that he’s joined the cast of...
Prince Charles Juicing ...
Despite his WTF decision to send his herd of dairy cows to the slaughterhouse in order to keep his carbon footprint in check, Britain’s Prince Charles is generally a pretty thoughtful chap with regard to Mother Nature’s creatures. And he’s certainly the reigning monarch of sustainability, whether via the eco-renovation of his Romanian farmhouse property , 24 year commitment to organic farming , tireless work promoting environmental issues such as his water conservation-themed...
‘Whale Wars’ Season...
Animal Planet’s Whale Wars series finished its strongest season yet with an exciting two-hour finale last Friday that snagged a number of eyeballs. During the first hour, which saw Pete Bethune attempt a citizen’s arrest of a Japanese whaling captain, more than 1.5 million people tuned in, giving the network the #4 spot in the highly coveted 18-49 demographic. Things got even better for the second hour focusing on the aftermath of Bethune’s arrest with more than 1.8...![Sigourney Weaver Spreading Belo Monte Dam Awareness With ‘Defending the Rivers of the Amazon’ [VIDEO]](http://greenxpert.org/wp-content/themes/Quadro/timthumb.php?src=http://greenxpert.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/3567be7d80sigourney_B20yY.jpg&h=108&w=263&zc=1)

Referred to as an ecological disaster on par with Avatar by none other than director James Cameron himself, details about the construction of Brazil’s Belo Monte hydroelectric dam continue to unfold with each passing day. Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva claims that even he was uncertain that the 3.75 mile long dam could benefit his country but insists that it “is a victory for Brazil’s energy sector.” Yeah, but what about the environment? Despite countless...
Kevin Costner Seeking N...
Close to two months have passed since we offered the techie details on Kevin Costner ’s oil spill skimming contraptions (otherwise known as ‘liquid-liquid separation centrifuges’). Suffice it to say that each 2 metric ton device is able to process 200 gallons of contaminated ocean water each minute, which we can surely use right now in post-Horizon oil spill waters. Manufactured by Ocean Therapy Solutions and parent company Blue Planet Solutions — both of which the actor...
