Small Planet, Big Problems

It was Earth Day a week ago... - a nice little initiative for me to get a new post up on this blog after a while. On a similar occurrence of lateness, I'd usually say better late than never, but in this case - Earth Day - I think every day seems late, thus one can't be late...

The bleak outlook comes from looking at the problems outlined in this nice-must-see little presentation titled Miniature Earth.

Also, today I watched the movie from 1980, The Secret of Nikola Tesla given to me back when I first started work as a teacher at NP by an ex colleague, Weelian. It's disturbing to see that 100 years ago Tesla was concerned about pollution and the lack of sustainability of then current - and sadly still current - energy resources. He also seem to had been dreaming of transmitting 'everything' - what we call today (wireless) Internet -, and wireless power transmission - what we're still dreaming of...!

Ps: Credit to Murray for pointing to the presentation.

- Bill Clinton's promo for his foundation is another nice presentation on issues.

- Also my posts on water and e-cars.
