So, now that Copenhagen Climate Talk is over, some of you might be wondering on what actually is happening and hopefully changing in tropical forests now. Not much it seems. Forests remain under threat for all the same reasons that we’ve historically cut them down—illegal logging, industrial agriculture expansion, and destructive “development†projects. At least for one more year, business as usual is certainly going to continue and tropical forests will probably continue to be lost at the shocking rate of 1 acre/second.

The question: How green is it?

Almost earthed for more than 2,000 years, an ancient temple built for Egyptian cat goddess, Bastet, was recently discovered by a group of Egyptian archeologists. The news was broken by the Supreme Council of Antiquities on Tuesday (January 19). The Ptolemaic-era temple was first found in the form of ruins in the heart of Mediterranean port city of Alexandria, founded by Alexander the Great in the 4th century B.C. According to their statement, the temple was thought to be owned by Queen Berenice, wife of King Ptolemy III who ruled Egypt in the 3rd century B.C. Mohammed Abdel-Maqsood, the Egyptian archaeologist who escorted the excavation squad, said the unearthing may be the first mark out of the long-sought site of Alexandria’s royal quarter.

1000 Green Steps has found too many drivers who always drive like a jerk. Fast, aggressive driving is a big fuel waster. It’s very dangerous to drive like that, both for you (and other people) and for our earth. Try to maintain a constant speed – most cars reach peak efficiency while cruising between 55 and 60 miles per hour – and avoid rapid acceleration and braking, which can increase fuel consumption by as much as 40 percent (and make everyone else on the road hate you).
