Plants, since the first Man walked on earth, became his friend,..... silent, beneficial and sacrificing for the highest creation in the universe. What a gift from God!! They will never speak, may be you will hear the whisper among the leaves if you care so. Being green, they put a beautiful pleasing color for our eyes. But this is not all. Scientists are now using plants to detoxify contaminated land. As industrialization is rapidly moving fast on the globe, more and more new areas are getting polluted which first and foremost threatens the ecosystem. Now plants can be used to extract these toxic contaminants from soil or wastewater. Althoug a long ways still to go, but some plants already showed promising results. Sunflower, as an example used in Chernobyl, to extract radioactive Uranium. At the end of extraction plants die but again silently. Where on earth there is a friend like this standing just next to you. What a Grace!!

San Francisco Solar Map !!
The San Francisco Solar Map, first of its type, will show you the solar activity around the city of SF. Currently 585 houses are producing energy from solar technology of about 3548 MWh. By 2010 the goal is for an annual savings of $7M. It's not much but the environmental impact is huge. A green technology for our green planet. By clicking on each yellow or brown point you can view a stats of each installation. Have a look here....

Campain to tackle bacpain
EU is doing it now for several reasons. For the laborers part it causes personal sufferings and loss of incone while for the business it reduces efficiency and governments pay extra social security costs. Things that will be followed are, workers don't have to carry excessively heavy loads, work long hours in unhelathy positions or cold environments. In general it's a good step forward to help the laborers keep helathy life time (not only just limited for industrial purposes). But will ILO (International Labor Organisation) be active at the same time to implement these strategies for third-world countries?
