ITGumbo: spicing IT up

Yahoo launches its environmental portal, offering environmental news, conservation tips and other ways to promote environmental awareness and fight off climate change. Yahoo Green is an online environmental awareness and education campaign program which hopes to gather this earth’s concerned individuals to battle climate change, carbon dioxide emission, and global warming through simple ways such as:

-Using compact fluorescent lamps,

- Adjusting thermostat to 2 degrees,

- Carpooling to work

Among other simple contributions that each one of us can give in order to secure the future of the earth we all live in.

As individuals, there are several ways by which we can participate in this worthy cause.
And Yahoo Green wants us to pledge our own little actions in order to save carbon dioxide per year. To learn more about ways and means to reduce carbon dioxide utilization, the site has useful tips that we can apply in the different parts of our house.

Yahoo! Green is a pretty simple web 2.0 portal which if taken seriously could make a difference in mankind’s battle against global warming. And to ride on the social networking/discussion bandwagon, you can also start your own environmental groups with your friends and relatives through Yahoo Groups.
