For more information, contact Maxime Boutin at maxime.boutin@inovmedia.biz

 

Green tip of the week from your ECO-ST. Lo, your local environment group.

Our excess consumption patterns lead to the consumption of many types of resources, which in turn gives rise to environmental

degradation. Fossil fuel use results in land degradation from coal mining,

freshwater pollution from mine drainage and oil refinery operations, marine

pollution from oil spills and tanker operations, and air pollution from all

forms of combustion. Air pollution from fuel combustion has local effects

on public health, regional impacts such as acid precipitation, and globally

contributes to greenhouse gas emissions that lead to climate change.

 

Practically everything that we consume has an environmental impact, sometimes much more than we might think.

 

For instance,you probably haven't heard of coltan. Coltan is a rare mineral that is an essential component of the electronics we use all the time like cell phones, computers and digital cameras. The vast majority of the world's reserves are in East Congo. Coltan has become so sought-after that Congo has been overrun with warring militias competing for coltan's profits and leaving devastation in their wake.

Violence isn't new to Congo -- the country is sometimes referred to the as "rape capital of the world." But by using our electronics, we could unwittingly be contributing to the misery of the Congolese people.

 

We simply have to ask ourselves whether we need all the stuff that we are being convinced to buy.There are alternatives to buying. The first is voluntary simplicity, a life style choice that benefits all. Why not check it out?

 

At St. Lawrence it's easy being green!
