I'm visiting the University of Aberystwyth later this week and was just checking the university website out for the location maps and I'm really pleased to see that Aberystwyth uses Microsoft Live Earth for its maps.

Earth Week at the Sutherland Institute is a lot like anti-Earth Week. An oxymoron. Like saying, "environmentalist Mike Noel." The conservative think tank is commemorating Green Week with four days of science-baiting, pro-nuclear energy, global warming-doubting workshops.

Its Future is in our Hands - Live Earth by aussiegall (Flickr) If you want to help this planet's environment, you have two options: fascism or capitalism. Sort of puts the hippies in a pickle, as they hate both. But it's simple: you can proscribe earth-saving technologies and practices (fascism), or you can allow [...]

Green sells, whether the product in question is a hybrid car or a laptop computer. Tech firms know this. Apple has a "My Greener Apple" campaign -- lauded as a huge success among ecology-conscious Apple customers. Microsoft boosted its green image last year when it sponsored Live Earth, a series of concerts dedicated to combating climate change. Larry David and Cheryl Hines of the HBO series Curb...

AL GORE wants to make a sequel to his Oscar-winning documentary on global warming and despite Earth's rising fever he is still hopeful for a happy ending. We are, he says, all players in deciding the outcome. Despite the success of his film An Inconvenient Truth and last year's Live Earth concerts in raising awareness, the former US Vice President believes little has changed where it counts and...

Utah's flat tax was going to do so many things: Nine out of 10 Utahns would pay less. The state would become the Ireland of the Intermountain West - a chugging little engine surrounded by stagnant economies.

Last summer’s Live Earth concerts turned out to be controversial not only for the nature of the BBC’s coverage (judged by some to be non-partisan though that’s a whole separate debate), but also for the amount of swearing that was clearly audible during some of the daytime coverage of the concert. Separate from the Ofcom ruling [...]
