USA: Earth Day 2000 Targets Global Warming, Clean Energy

Please Note: This action has been discontinued.
Thank you for your support!

Bio Clean Fuel WASHINGTON -- In Earth Day 2000 celebrations around the globe, environmentalists plan to highlight the culprits of global warming and the solutions: renewable energy, including wind and solar.

Warm Front is the Government' funded programme for tackling fuel poverty. The scheme was launched in June 2000 and before its name changed to Warm Front, it was called the Home Energy Efficiency Scheme. Warm Front rmation Warm Deal (Scotland) The Scottish Executive. It provides a grant of up to £500 to make your home more energy efficient and keep you warmer during the cold winter months. Eaga Ltd run the scheme on behalf of the Scottish Executive.

Earth Bio Fuel From Chile to Tokyo, millions are expected to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Earth Day on Apr. 22 by participating in events in more than 150 nations.

“ desired energy for its population to tackle this problem – we have to accept that”, Sir King comments. What can we do reduce consumer demand for heavily polluting goods and services, make global energy supply more efficient, energy emissions – promote cleaner energy and transport technology, fossil fuels accounting for 60% of energy output by 2050.

Green energy is energy that comes from renewable resources, i.e. sources which are inexhaustible or replaceable such as the sun or wind. When energy is generating by burning fossil fuels such as oil, gas or coal, this causes an increase in the levels of carbon dioxide (C02) and other polluting greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. This contributes to the heating up of our planet, a condition we all know as Global Warming.

Bio Bio Fuel Less More Waste While people enjoy live music and theatre, environmental groups and clean energy companies are expected to demonstrate various new eco-friendly technologies, such as energy efficient appliances and devices that run on wind and solar power.

Yes, ULSD fuels have a lower BTU value and thus when burned in a diesel engine will result in less power. Cetane enhanced products can offset this power loss. Cetane is a high energy compound that makes the fuel burn more completely in the combustion chamber, resulting in more power, reduced emissions, and improved fuel economy. Power Service diesel additives contain "+ Cetane Boost" to offset this power loss while also improving fuel economy and reducing emissions.

Make Bio Fuel Renewable energy, unlike fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural Gas, does not release heat-trapping greenhouse gases which most scientists believe cause global warming and disrupt climate and weather patterns.

"Freedom Fuels was created with the goal of educating as many people as possible on the obstacles created by the petroleum industry for developing cheaper, more energy efficient fuels, " said Martin O'Brien, director of Freedom Fuels. " quality video targeted toward a global community of engaged fans."

Bio Fuel Jb100 Jet Properties One of Earth Day's founder, Denis Hayes, says compared to when the event first started, now the "opportunities are amazing" for alternative sources of energy.

Fuel Cell Bio Hayes, now head of the Seattle-based Bullitt Foundation which funds environmental projects in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, says many clean technologies are available, including fuel cells, solar cells and hydrogen.

Bio Conversion Fuel Indigenous communities on several continents have joined Earth Day's clean energy campaign. They say the quest for fossil fuels has led to the pollution of their land and human rights abuses.

Green Energy "We call on governmental and international financial institutions to cease all fossil fuel subsidies and to invest immediately in clean, renewable and decentralized forms of energy," says a statement signed by the U'wa of Colombia, the Ijaw of the Niger Delta, the Mirrar of Australia and the Karen of Myanmar.

Bio Ethanol Fuel In the Niger Delta, it says, the Ijaw and other ethnic minorities say gas flaring and pollution from oil operations have fouled the region. In southern Myanmar, formerly Burma, the Karen said they have been forced to work as "virtual slaves" on the Yadana gas pipeline for the military and California-based UNOCAL, its corporate partner.

Bio Clean Fuel In the northern mountain region of Colombia, the 5,000-strong U'wa indigenous group is fighting the plans of Occidental Petroleum, the U.S. oil giant that wants to drill for oil on land claimed by the tribe.

Earth Bio Fuel In northern Alaska and Canada, the Gwich-in People continue to oppose attempts by oil companies, including BP Amoco, to gain access to the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, said the Earth Day statement. The Refuge is the birthplace and nursery ground of the caribou herd that the Gwich-in depend on and consider sacred.

Bio Flight Fuel Green Jb100 Student environmental organizations, including Sierra Student Coalition and the Student Environmental Action Coalition, are supporting the Gwich-in for Earth Day 2000 by organizing a boycott of London-based BP Amoco.

Bio Bio Fuel Less More Waste "The refuge is home to an array of unique biological treasures whose value is incomparable to the four to six months worth of oil" the U.S. Geological Survey expects it to contain, says a statement released by the student groups.

Make Bio Fuel As Earth Day has become more popular since its founding three decades ago, many companies have begun promoting various eco- activities. But some corporate sponsors have less than perfect environmental records, according to the Transnational Action and Resource Center (TRAC), based in San Francisco.

Bio Fuel Jb100 Jet Properties Ford Motor Company, for example, while funding Time Magazine's "Heroes for the Planet," a special Earth Day issue out this week, promotes gas-guzzling cars and Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) that emit large amounts of carbon dioxide.

Fuel Cell Bio Amit Srivastava with TRAC says in the 10 years after global warming first became a public concern, average vehicle emissions for Ford actually increased by 7.4 percent, the most of the three major automobile makers.

Bio Conversion Fuel In honor of Ford, and other corporate polluters bolstering their environmental public relations campaigns, TRAC presented several tongue in cheek "greenwashing" awards.

Green Energy Ford still downplays the threat of global warming, says Srivastava. On its website, it says that developing countries must be part of the solution.

Bio Ethanol Fuel "Nowhere does Ford note that cars and light trucks in the United States alone account for more CO2 emissions than all but four countries in the world (the United States, Russia, China and Japan)," says the environmental group.

Bio Clean Fuel Other organizations are rallying behind 90-year old Doris Haddock for Earth Day 2000. Haddock, known as "Granny D" recently completed a protest walk across the country calling for campaign finance reform.

Earth Bio Fuel On Friday, she will join environmental groups like Ozone Action and the Rainforest Action Network on the steps of the Capitol to unfurl a banner to highlight the influence corporate campaign contributions to legislators have had on environmental policy.

Bio Flight Fuel Green Jb100 The stranglehold oil and gas companies have over Congress, for example, is the main obstacle to ratification of the Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change, which seeks to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases, they argue.

Bio Bio Fuel Less More Waste Campaign finance reform is "one reform that can prevent the pollution and degradation of both our civic and natural environments," says Haddock.
