As everyone knows, Google had recently disclosed data on it’s energy footprint for the first time. As a person who depends on Google on a daily basis to function, both for work and play (For Google: Search, Chrome, Mail, Calendar, Reader, Analytics, Youtube, Plus, Maps etc), I naturally found these figures very interesting. So interesting that I started thinking about what life would be like without Google.
It sucks.
I’m going to start a new thing (which would probably not continue for a while). I’m going to confess to my current obsession. For now, it’s cargo bicycles. There are many variations:
Environmental Working Group conducted an in depth study about protein sources. We all know that meat, especially beef is a high emitter, but it’s lamb that’s the worse offender. And sadly for me, cheese comes in third (No really, it’s tragic…)
From Blueshiftworld.com:
The year is 2061. Runaway climate change, more rapid than anyone predicted, has plummeted the world into environmental catastrophe. The American Great Plains is a parched dustbowl from the Rockies to the Mississipi. Europe is gripped by a new Ice Age in the absence of the Gulf Stream. Rising seas have transformed California’s Central Valley into a shallow inland sea, and drowned New Orleans and Venice. Coastal cities such as New York huddle behind great sea walls. A gigantic tropical storm called Leviathan rages endlessly off the Gulf of Mexico. Nations engage in bitter war over water and fuel. All told, over half the Earth’s population has perished in the last forty years.
Here’s the latest salvo from our planet’s warriors, Greenpeace.
And it’s Star Wars themed.
Which means I can’t not like it!
