| Scientific Consensus? |

In the past few years, the world has experienced devastating natural disasters on a level that hasn’t been seen for decades. There is much speculation that these especially strong phenomena are due to global climate change, brought on by Global Warming. The term ‘Global Warming’ refers to the rising temperature of the earth due to an increased amount of greenhouse gases. This warming of the globe could potentially alter sea level, crop yield and rain fall, and could increase the intensity and frequency of natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, and droughts. For more information on global warming, please visit our research page, our student submission page, or any of the links on the left side of this page. Please also feel free to download our free informational pamphlet and our Global Warming political cartoon.
Because we value and respect all opinions on this subject, we have also created a secondary blog that presents the issue of Global Warm...

| One Planet Fundraising |
| 2007-02-24 17:41:44 |
Thanks to a tip from one of our readers, I’ve stumbled across One Planet Fundraising, a company that has found a way to run non-zero sum environmental fundraisers. One Planet Fundraising (OPF, if you will) runs fundraisers in which they provide students with energy-saving light bulbs at affordable prices. The students then sell the light bulbs in their communities. So, not only are the students raising money, but they are also saving energy, raising awareness in their communities about saving energy, and helping to instill good habits in those around them. For more information, please take the time to check out OPF!
