How to Buy an Energy Efficient TV

TV power consumption is expected to outpace the energy used to power the average refrigerator by 2010, with this figure doubling by 2031. Switching to an energy efficient TV can help to reduce power bills. In fact, Energy Star® estimates that if all televisions sold in the United States met the current Energy Star® requirements, Americans would save $2.5 billion annually in energy costs, while reducing annual greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to the emissions of about 3 million cars.

Pew Environmental Group Calls for Immediate Steps to Conserve the Atlantic Bluefish Tuna Species

The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) has declined to stop fishing for Atlantic bluefin tuna, which is regarded as the most valuable fish in the Atlantic Ocean. Nevertheless, the commission has agreed to restrict its catch limit of bluefin to 13,500. This conclusion was made after a ten day meet. Mexico was permitted to catch 110 of these endangered sharks and other member countries decided that banning the fishing of sharks will be the ideal solution to conserve the bluefin sharks in the Atlantic. Susan Lieberman, Pew Environment Group’s international policy director remarked that the ICCAT, from the time of its existence, was more focused on the short-term commercial benefits of fishing and less on the aspect of conservation. Lieberman argued that unless fishing was completely stopped now, there was no chance for the recovery of the bluefin sharks to the level that would allow for fishery later.
