...Fact is, TIFF's rise to prominence over the past three decades hasn't been accompanied by an emergence of Canada as an important national cinema. This country of 33 million has left less of an artistic footprint than, say, Hong Kong (6 million population) in the 80s or Sweden (4 million) in the Ingmar Bergman years. The provinces have produced a few notable directors - David Cronenberg and Atom Egoyan from Ontario, Denys Arcand from Quebec, Guy Maddin from Manitoba - but their careers date back to the 60s, 70s or 80s. Other Canadians, like directors Norman Jewison and Paul Haggis...
...produce, TVs (for the few who watch), even cars. If all this togetherness doesn't make EVI a commune, that's because it's potentially much more: a clean, green village hoping to show the rest of us how to live a fully modern life while reducing our environmental footprint to little more than a tiptoe...
...Dreamliner into something that beleaguered airlines and their passengers might actually enjoy. Analysts say the 787 might be the first plane that passengers actually choose to fly because of new interior amenities, such as more pressurization, more humidity, bigger windows, more room as well as a lower carbon footprint per seat. That hits a sweet spot with airlines when coupled with savings in operations and maintenance costs...
...breaks down, so does forest management. Amorim was the first stopper company to become FSC-certified, and the company believes that the promotion of cork as a naturally sustainable product will turn consumers onto the fact that buying their bottle of wine for dinner could leave a positive environmental footprint. Along with the WWF and companies like Willamette Valley Vineyards, Amorim actively promotes the cork industry's green merits - its contribution to carbon dioxide sequestration, preserving biodiversity and combating desertification. "Can you contribute to a better world and a better wine? If the answer is yes, then what is there...
...Airplanes operate on petroleum fuel, which means they release large amounts of carbon dioxide when they fly. Commercial air travel is currently responsible for a relatively tiny part of the global carbon footprint -just 3.5% of total greenhouse gas emissions, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. But the unique chemistry of high-altitude jet emissions may produce an additional warming effect, while the explosive growth in air travel makes it one of the fastest-growing sources of carbon gases in the atmosphere. And unlike energy or automobiles, where carbon-free or lower-carbon alternatives already exist, even...
