Cisco and the CBC Partner to Create an Environmental Website: One Million Acts of Green

Earth BallOne Million Acts of Green is a new website from the Canada Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), to promote and encourage Canadians to take steps to make the environment greener.

While not a radical approach, One Million Acts of Green is encouraging website viewers (and Canadians in general) to take the small steps, the small actions, that cumulatively add up to something significant.

What is truly great about this website, is that not only do they provide a fairly thorough example list, but they also make it easy for school groups, youth groups, and others to create groups or create challenges for others, hopefully making the process even more fun!

While it seems to be designed by and for Canadians, I would be curious to see if it is possible for non-Canadians to sign up. So, if you do sign up and are successful, let us know in the comments!

Readers may notice that One Million Acts of Green does one thing poorly, and that is equating environmental acts with climate change and greenhouse gas reductions. As detailed in an earlier Red, Green and Blue post, environmentalism is not solely defined by the issue of climate change, and it is important for observers, and participants in environmental protection and promotion to remember that.

Senator Inhofe Vows a “Full Investigation” into “Suppressed” EPA Report on Climate Change

Senator Inhofe calls for a “full investigation” into what he terms as a cover-up of scientific data that “vindicates” his position that global warming is hoax. It’s either that or an increasingly desperate attempt to support an untenable position.

Sarah Palin on Energy: What a Switch!

Am I the only one who noticed that Sarah Palin has pulled a huge switchover when it comes to her take on energy policy?

Because it’s dramatic, and may presage the switch that I have been hoping for for a while: the divorce of the idea that a Conservative Environmentalist in politics is an oxymoron.

    Yes, non-Canadians can sign-up however, their Acts are not counted towards the overall goal.
