Citizens Against Strip Mining - Boularderie Island, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia 100,000 Trees For Humanity The Earth’s forests are under assault on a tremendous scale with approximately 30,000 square miles disappearing each year. It is estimated that all the Earth’s rain forests could be gone within 100 years at the current rate of deforestation resulting in habitat loss for millions of species. Unmanaged deforestation: - Threatens the survival of millions of animal and plant species - Destroys rare species that may contain answers for cures to serious diseases - Threatens climate stability - Contributes to global warming and green house gas emission. - Leads to desert lands that emerge from cleared forests - Leads to soil erosion, landslides and flooding threatening communities and the lives of people near deforested regions - Threatens humanity in countless ways including food supply, water supply, and disease. The solution is a systematic effort of RE-Forestation. ♻ Retweet this green story

Bill Gates sparks multinational plan to spend billions on clean energy tech Government and business leaders are banking on clean energy technology to fight global warming, kicking off this week's high-stakes climate change negotiations by pledging tens of billions of dollars for research and development. Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates, U.S. President Barack Obama and French President François Hollande will announce the new initiative on Monday, committing to spend tens of billions of dollars for a technological fix to the planet's climate woes, three current and former officials have told The Associated Press. "It's quite a big deal," said Jennifer Morgan, global climate director for the World Resources Institute. "It brings a new kind of burst of energy into the conference right at the beginning on something very important." The United Nations climate summit formally opened Sunday afternoon with a minute of silence for the victims of this month's Paris attacks and vows not to let terrorism derail efforts to slow or stop climate change.
