Introduction to the MicroGreen Blog

Our planet doesn't need saving, it will do just fine no matter what we do. The fate of planet Earth is linked to the fate of our Sun, as the Sun nears the end of its life it will swell into a Red Giant, so large that planet Earth will be consumed within it. Nothing that humans do now or in the future will change this.

The environment and climate however, must be protected. Pollution causes illness, disease, birth defects, cancer and poisons our food. Small changes in the climate can cause drought, failed crops, rising sea levels, floods and increasing numbers of hurricanes.

Our planet has kindly provided us with many resources, minerals, metals, coal, oil and gas. But the supply is finite, one day these natural resources will be consumed, a fact that cannot be denied.

In this blog I will share my views on governmental action (or lack of) to protect our environment, environmental news, eco gadgets, energy saving tips and products, energy security and peak oil. I look forward to reading any comments that you may have.
