Hub You - Green Choices and Consumption
During my early days of employment in the late 80's, the company I worked with engaged a consultant to get the company certified in ISO9002 QMS. I was one of the working committee then. Training was provided, followed by documentation of all our processes. A simple guideline was given to us to "document what we do" and "do what we docume

Complacency, according to the dictionary, is being pleased with oneself or one’s merits, advantages, and situation, often without awareness of potential danger. Have you ever been complacent? Have you ever been very happy with a situation, only to realize later that th
Here's a couple of examples.
Run my car on LPG? Great, that means I can travel further and it will only cost me the same!
Need more power? That's fine, we'll just build another zillion wind farms!
This is a common mentality for most of us; saving in order to spend. An essential part of living a more earth friendly life is about less consumption. Even the wonderful wind turbines have to be manufactured and that type of manufacturing is not earth friendly.

Many ancient prophesies talk about the doom and gloom, end of days, apocalypse or rapture. Of course no one can take it all literally although it has many people wondering how will it occur if in fact it does occur at all? Well could it be connected to Climate Change and the Earth heating up? Is the prophesy really about something we alre

With the Winter Olympic Games in Torino underway, on time and over budget, it feels like a good time to take a minute and look at the lessons the Olympics have to teach us about managing events.

A comment on sensible site designIt’s common to consider your website’s design solely in terms of the look and feel visible from outside. I can understand it entirely. A concept like ‘modularity’ or ‘standards-compliance’ is more abstract than specifying colours and text, and difficult to verify without strong technical knowledge.
A few years ago, I would have been sitting in an office powered by several 100 watt globes, looking at a 17" CRT screen while typing this out. Aside from the screen, the computer would have been drawing at least 100 watts too. So that's a total of 300 watts of energy consumption an hour. My electricity would also most likely have been derived from the burning of coal.
Nowadays, my office is lit by a 10 watt compact fluorescent globe and I run a laptop with a smaller screen that draws at best 90 watts per hour. Over a day, I save about 2 kilowatts of power and what electricity I do use is sourced by renewable means or offset; and I suffer no real discomfort as a result.
Having less of an impact on the environment doesn't mean we must live like cavemen or forego all of modern life's luxuries, but just to treat them as such - luxuries; something to be cherished and used sparingly. It ce
