ZEITGEIST: Environmental Awareness Concert Series Uses Biodiesel, Solar-Powered Train For Sole Transportation

By Jaylyn Bergner

Guaranteed, you've never seen anything like this before. Sure, other concerts promote a barrage of social and environmental causes. Live Aid from the 80s, aids, obviously; its spinoff Live 8, global poverty; Lilith Fair, women's charities donations (incidentally set to come back in 2010). What did they all have in common? Typical concert-going venues: stadiums, amphitheaters, fields. Not Robert Wolf's Green Train!

Though noble in nature, these events lack the idiosyncratic elements that set the Green Train apart from all other musical events in the past. When gearing up to actualize this effort, Green Train Project founder Robert Wolf had a vision to create a project that uses environmentally friendly platforms to promote his carbon-conscious cause. His Green Train Project is a throwback concert series using whistle-stop tours, organized around the movement of the biodiesel and solar-powered train, like the presidential campaign tactics before they plugged in, to generate buzz and a fan base.

Paired with kickass list of artists, to be announced in the next couple of months, this 30-stop tour aims to teach every-day tactics, that anyone anywhere can employ. Helping to improve and maintain the ecosystem isn't limited to only attaching solar panels to your house and driving a more fuel-economic vehicle. It's about the little things-the everyday details that make up the greater whole-because, in reality, here is where we will make the most difference.

Think that was it? Not quite. In addition to the world-renowned musicians and awesome, Earth-changing cause, The Green Train also will carry other celebrities, athletes, scientists, actors, activists, environmentalists, and media. In between performances, these personalities will speak, publicly or via satellite, on topics that will offer tips and benefits for greener living!

You're going to want to keep the month of April 2010 open because Bob Wolf's Green Train is rolling out, with major performances include Portland, Denver, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Charlotte, New York, and Washington D.C. Catch the more intimate gigs in Sacramento, Atlanta, Boston, and Memphis.

See you on the train!!

ZEITGEIST: The Environment - Thinking Globally and Acting Locally

By James Lahey

Is it currently possible to stop and reverse the damage that is being caused to the planet? If we consider where the world currently stands in terms of resource depletion and greenhouse gas emissions, it's tempting to think that this situation cannot be improved. However, the WWF (World Wildlife Foundation) has taken a look at where things are today and where they are going and they believe that the world has more than enough sustainable energy and technology.

The WWF believes that the world needs to apply six key solutions when it comes to energy. Improving energy efficiency, stopping forest loss, developing low emission technologies, developing flexible fuels, replacing high carbon coal with low carbon natural gas and equipping fossil fuel plants with carbon capture and storage technology.

In the past huge environmental progress has been made. For instance, the protection of threatened wildlife species such as the bald eagle or the peregrine falcon. But the world needs to act quickly according to the WWF. In fact, in the next five years! We need to bring about change and repair and this will take a combined effort from individuals, businesses and governments. Reversing all effects may not be possible but people can still make a difference.

You household is a great place to start making changes. By living a green life really does help change the world on a global level. Every change you make has a ripple effect. By reducing your energy consumption means that less fossil fuels need to be burnt. Sure, these effects seem minimal but when large numbers of people start to make changes this creates great waves of change.
