Even small changes in our daily behaviour can help prevent greenhouse gas emissions without affecting our quality of life. In fact, they can help save us money!

I found the location “the city of Dong Ping in the Guangzhou province “is not exactly correct. I think this is not your fault, i saw this error in almost all other English resources I checked right now.

You know Guangzhou is the capital city of Guangdong province, which is my second hometown. The right location should be: Dongping Town, Yangjiang City, Guangdong Province in South China.

Anyway, I enjoy reading your articles and your website. Thank you!

Cheers,

Xiangdian

With a smaller environmental impact. So any argument that going green will bankrupt the nation is non sense.

As for the person/s claiming we need oil for things other than fuel, YES indeed we do which is a very good reason to stop using it as fuel. Total oil use for non fuel purposes is less than 0.01% of oil production. By the way there are alternatives for transport that do not rely on fossil fuels as well. AND are economic. Existing technology tried tested and been in use for a long time very successfully.

Dependence on fossil fuels is not necessary or desirable. So who is blind and closed minded exactly those who refuse to look around and see what is happening? or those who are looking and finding better solutions?

Both of these projects are quite small.
