The ongoing problems with the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan has prompted many people to question where we get our energy from, now and in the future. The champions of nuclear power say the risks only affect a small number of people and are outweighed by the risks of climate change. So if we can’t burn coal, we must have nuclear power.

Canadian forest campaigner Eduardo Sousa marks the 10th anniversary of a historic achievement to protect rainfoersts:

The United Nations declared 2011 the International Year of Forests. This is a time to celebrate the planet's forests, but it's also an opportunity to shed a much needed spotlight on the significant deforestation that continues around the world.

Top 10 things we need to see in the budget to solve our energy problems

Posted by tracy.frauzel - 21 March 2011 at 8:10pm - Comments

The government will present the budget on Wednesday and motorists are hoping George Osborne will make fuel cheaper for them as energy prices soar. While this may ease the wallet squeeze in the short term, the last year has shown us that we are at the mercy of world events for fuel prices – first with BP’s oil spill in the Gulf and now because of unrest in the Middle East. And the consequences of these events are more far reaching than pump prices.

Our thoughts are with people affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan

Posted by tracy.frauzel - 11 March 2011 at 1:01pm - Comments

When I first heard the news on the radio this morning about the earthquake in Japan that measured 8.9 it sounded devastating, and the initial lack of information coming out of the area at that time confirmed that fear.

Unfortunately I can't say the same for sharks in the oceans. They are getting caught up in Princes' nets along with other fish, rays and even turtles because Princes relies on fish aggregating devices (Fads) used with purse seine nets even though they know that's a sure-fire way to haul up plenty of bycatch along with the tuna.
