| 05/07/07
The never-ending story of celebrities and philanthropy deserves a new chapter. TheSmokingGun.com has some delicious information for us about our stars and their work for the poor: In this extensive collection of documents, The Smoking Gun looks at more than 40 groups to determine which celebrity foundations are generous and which need encouragement. Through Freedom of Information Act requests filed with the Internal Revenue Service, TSG compiled scores of tax returns filed by these foundations. In most cases, the documents we received cover calendar year 1997, the most recent year for which records are available. Some reports, however, did include partial accountings for 1998 charitable activity.But we stay on topic with this lovely news: Village Banking has launched their MySpace website in cooperation with Natalie Portman (Leon, Star Wars).

| |
| 04/30/07
Sir Anthony Hopkins has recorded a short but very powerful - and very moving - video for Greenpeace USA, asking people to join Greenpeace, and defend the whales. Greenpeace launched an anti-whaling advertising campaign featuring Sir Anthony Hopkins. The ads will begin airing Wednesday on MSNBC, Fox News and CNN Headline News in Washington, D.C. through Friday, to coincide with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s visit to meet with President Bush in Washington.
The environmental group is raising awareness about the ongoing senseless Japanese hunt of whales before the International Whaling Commission (IWC) meeting takes place in May in Anchorage.Source: YouTube |

Light bulbs are not cool anymore!
|  |
| 02/20/07
Australian's environment minister, Malcolm Turnbull, announced today that incandescent light bulbs have become “outdated”.
The minister reckons it should save 800,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions during the three year phase-out period, with an annual emission reduction of 4 million tonnes by 2015.
"If the rest of the world supports us ... follows our lead, this will reduce an amount of energy ... to the tune of five times as much energy as Australia consumes," he said.
