CFCs and Fossil Fuels Have Short, Long Tail Effects

Often when considering the environmental hazards presented by human behavior, we fail to
see further than the direct effect on our planet. However, if we examine further, we can
gather that our behavior is affecting not only the earth we live on but also the general
human condition. There are essentially two levels to the damage posed by destructive
environmental actions. Let’s examine each of them in depth for a better comprehension of
this hazard.

Hi Everyone!  Thanks for all of your thoughts and humor!  It is greatly
appreciated.  So here is the latest.

IKE will be coming in between Freeport and Houston.  These two cities are
only 50 miles apart.  So, in essence, Houston is going to get hit hard for
being on the dirty end of it.

The surge in Galveston Bay will push floodwaters into Houston, damaging areas
that include the nation’s biggest refineries and NASA’s Johnson Space Center.
The Ship Channel will also get a huge part of the surge.  So I am sure that
those big ships will be anchored pretty well.  With the surge being predicted (more…)

GreenHunter Energy, Inc. began operations at it’s Houston, Texas,

Forced Green can be translated in a variety of ways. Are you green enough for the planet?

Are you green enough with your dollars? Or is your life being viewed as green with envy?

Everyone has a different view or has a different journey in life that sooner or later, green is an integral part.

We have been shown how humans activity has affected the planet from melting ice bergs, to the climate heating up, along with the landfills creating so much methane we should be figuring out a way to use it.

More and more people are doing just that….

Figuring out ways to “go green”. From using the sun in a variety of ways such as solar panels. Or cleaning up the water for drinking purposes. Or making refinery’s clean up their act by enforcing the clean air act.

Either way, we are all in the process of greening ourselves in an effort to co-habitate with this planet we call Earth.
