Seasteading: Open ocean soverignty
There aren’t many places left unclaimed by one nation or another, unless of course your country is not on land.
Seasteading, or homesteading on the high seas, has become not only the subject of entertainment but the topic of serious research, design, and political philisophy for individuals seeking to demonstrate how to live sustainably and prosper.

The green reaper
Living an eco-friendly existence doesn’t have to end when you do.
Ghoulish as it may sound, the business of burials is something we’re all fated to deal with eventually but new environmentally responsible options to handle this morbidly necessary event have emerged here in the US adding a note of green to this eerie realm of [...]
Nature’s sci-fi blockbuster
Maybe our latest science fiction film obsessions have been getting us prepared for the CGI in the sky.  That is, the natural occurrence of glowing clouds at night, or noctilucent clouds.
Usually appearing up at the polar regions, clouds will sometimes take on a glow where ice meets atmosphere.   This summer, the clouds have been glowing [...]

FUEL
Having just returned from a trip along the Carribean coast of South America in Colombia, I can say the problems petrol fuel-based energy causes to the air, the water, the soil, and the people struggling to live in this sullied environment rife with corruption and conflict resultant of the delivery and manufacture of this antiquated combustible fuel are many.  FUEL, out now in theaters, seeks to reel in supporters with big celebrity faces and inspiring entrepreneurial efforts to recondition an energy economy that's not only broken, it's downright dangerous.

We here at Green Air give FUEL the nod to go forth and conquer the oil-centric regime and FUEL has in turn reciprocated the forward momentum by creating the GREAT GREEN BLOG CHALLENGE.  Anyone reading this can email the makers of FUEL with a vote for Green Air at FUELthefilm@gmail.com and tell them that we are a GREAT GREEN BLOG.  Simple and effective, just the way we like it.

Whale Warriors: The Sea Shepherd returns to port
A battle is being waged on the frigid Antarctic seas in the name of whales.

An idea that's drastically evolved from a gimmicky slogan for novelty t-shirts, saving the whales is a job the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society regards with absolutely selfless solidarity.

Since it's maiden voyage in 1979, the Sea Shepherd has been patrolling international waters defending the destruction of protected marine habitats in attempt to thwart illegal hunting and prolong the survival of dwindling populations of seals, sharks, and most notably, whales.

Just back from his recent Antarctic anti-whaling campaign, Captain Paul Watson talks of his experience.
We have to be very cautious in these campaigns.  The Japanese whalers are just out of control.  They were hitting us with high-powered water cannons, nuts and bolts, and pieces of lead and strangely... golf balls.  We can't even defend our own lives without being criticized by our governments for being too, so-called extremist.
Now a reality television series called Whale Wars, Captain Watson and his ecological pirate ship can be seen on Animal Planet.

For our full interview with Captain Watson, click here.

Self-Watering, Self-Regulating Container Garden
Wait, you live in a cramped urban cell apartment with maybe a sliver of silver roof to escape to that's cris-crossed with cable wires and littered with pigeon shit guano but you still want to be a farmer?

Now, even YOU don't have an excuse NOT to garden!

Inventor, good friend, and gin drinker, Adam Phillips, presented me with this city person's ultimate solution to being lazy, having a garden when you don't have a yard, and doing it yourself with stuff you can find in the garbage.

Step by step instructions start... NOW!
