 Green tip of the week from your ECO-ST. Lo, your local environment group.
How about changing search engines:
Ecosia is a web search engine founded in Wittenberg, Germany in 2009. Ecosia is powered by Bing and Yahoo!, and comes from Christian Kroll, the founder of several self-proclamed green search engines such as Forestle[1]. Dubbed by Ecosia's press release "the greenest search engine in the globe"[2] Ecosia has been online since 3 December 2009[3].
Ecosia is a privately owned for-profit company that has pledged to donate at least 80% of their revenues to a rainforest protection program run by the WWF[4][5]. According to Ecosia, every search will save about 21 square feet (2.0 m2) of tropical forest[6].
Ecosia builds on an idea by Swedish Ph.D. student Pedro Bentancour Garin, who founded Treehoo, the world's first green search engine in the beginning of 2008.
At St. Lawrence it's easy being green!

Mikael Rioux:
November 11,
Please reserve Thursday November 11 at 12:15 in room 347,48, 49 to attend a major event! St. Lawrence will be welcoming renowned documentary film maker, Mikael Rioux, whose film Earth Keepers has received international acclaim. Mikael will talk about his experiences as an environmental activist and film maker.
EARTH KEEPERS takes viewers to the four corners of the earth.
Mikael meets a man who will become his mentor: eighty-year-old Christian de Laet, a pioneer in the Canadian environmental movement, who suggests that Mikael undertake a global quest to meet key visionaries behind innovative projects with promise for the future of our planet. Mikael discovers seven exceptional men and women who, in addition to their scientific and academic qualifications, each have more than 20 years' experience in putting their theories into practice, finding concrete solutions to environmental and social problems.
Inspired by these visionaries and by his mentor, Mikael returns home with a sense of urgency but also of confidence. He too has become someone who will pass on innovative ideas and clear-eyed hope to future generations
