Measuring the benefits of a green hotel REPORT FROM THE U.S.—The verdict is still unclear whether going green puts green back into hoteliers’ pockets, according to sources. A recent study, “Hotel sustainability: Financial analysis shines a cautious green light,” found, on average, booking revenue neither increased nor decreased for eco-certified hotels. WebEcoist Brighter Planet's 350 Challenge Marijuana cannabinoids - oral and transdermal methods The research indicates that cannabinoids hold the secret to helping heal many of the chronic diseases we are facing. From cancer to diabetes, and from autism to Alzheimer's, medical marijuana helps, and sometimes dramatically so. Cannabinoid medicine holds a great power to alleviate human suffering. There are no words to describe how important this substance is for our race in terms of sanity, compassion and highly rational medicine. Although medical marijuana is nontoxic, smoking it can be hazardous over the long term because toxic compounds are created in the combustion process.
All countries - Climate Action Tracker The Climate Action Tracker reveals major differences between the ambition levels of countries when it comes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In the lead are the Maldives, who have proposed to become climate-neutral by 2020. Also at the high end of the scale are Bhutan, which proposes to stay carbon neutral and Costa Rica, which proposes to become carbon neutral by 2021 if international support is provided.

Permafrost Carbon Network Background Approximately 1670 Pg of soil carbon are estimated to be stored in soils and permafrost of high latitude ecosystems (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) which is twice as much carbon as is currently contained in the atmosphere. In a warmer world permafrost thawing and decomposition of previously frozen organic carbon is one of the more likely positive feedbacks from terrestrial ecosystems to the atmosphere. Although ground temperature increases in permafrost regions are well documented there is a knowledge gap in the response of permafrost carbon to climate change.
