1. The Coding Has Changed for Google Keyword Search Results
New Page 1 Google is constantly changing the way they display search results on their website.
They just find better and faster ways to display their search results to users.

A revolutionary new software program has been developed that will allow you to It allows you to browse Google and view the Adwords keywords of ANY Adwords advertiser!

Basically, it's a small file that gets installed into your web browser (i.e. Firefox).

When you do a Google search, the software automatically places a "view keywords" button
below every single Adwords advertiser.

Click the "view keywords" button and really neat popup window appears that not only shows
you the keywords that any Adwords advertiser is bidding on, but it also shows you a
TON of other information, like how much they're paying per click and so on.

It's awesome.

Anyway, here is the link where you can download the software, and it doesn't cost anything.

5. Obesity Causes Pollution
Obesity in America is becoming a major epidemic. Nearly one in every five Americans is considered obese and the rate of obesity in children is even more alarming. So how is obesity related to pollution? Americans consume far too many beef products. Cattle are a major source of pollution. Fast foods are not healthy. They full of pesticides, chemicals and fertilizers. Obese people tend to get less exercise. They spend more time watching TV and playing video games. "Waist"ful use of energy. Obese people walk less, ride bikes less and use a car more frequently which adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. So you didn't think there was a link between obesity and pollution? Think again. Maybe it's time to consider healthier eating habits to help save the environment.

6. A Hidden Source of Pollution in Your Business

When a business decides to go 'green", one item they often over look is whether their hosting company is green. In the past decade, the demand for electricity has exploded, and most of that demand is used to power a huge supply of computers and peripherals.

It is very clear to most business people that turning off computers, faxes and printers when they not being used can save them money and reduce pollution. Few realize the impact they can make in terms of pollution by choosing a "green" hosting company. Accessing the Internet and running websites use a tremendous amount of power so choosing a web hosting company that is environmentally friendly is the right thing to do. More and more hosting companies are going green, so if you are looking for a new hosting company, look to see if they use renewable energy or are involved in a carbon offset program. Choosing a company that generates its own power through renewable energy is preferred.

If you have an existing hosting company, ask if they are "green". If not switch. You will be doing the environment a favor.

9. Think Pollution Control is Only For Big Industry?

Think Pollution Control is only for Big Industry

Most of us think of huge pollution belching factories when we think of pollution control. This is so far from the truth. Each one of us is guilty of polluting the planet. Every one of us emits a certain amount or carbon dioxide. The measure of how much carbon dioxide we as individuals or huge industries emit is called the carbon footprint. It is imperative that each one of us reduce our carbon footprint if we expect to stop global warming.

Lately, more and more is being said about off setting our personal carbon footprint. As individuals we can make a huge on global warming by reducing our carbon footprint.

So what actually is your carbon footprint. Simply put it is the amount of greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide) that you as an individual produce through your everyday activities.

A Google search for carbon footprint calculators will give you websites that will actually give you an idea of just how much carbon dioxide you are producing. They look at things like your utility bills, the type of automobile you drive and how many miles you travel, as well as the electrical appliances you have and use.

By knowing what your carbon footprint is, you can go about making changes that offset your personal carbon footprint in a very measurable way.

For most people, the easies way to reduce your carbon footprint is through your automobile. Many people are switching to hybrid cars. If a hybrid car isn't in your future, limiting your automobile usage by carpooling, planning errands, and riding a bicycle will certainly help.

One change that made a significant change in my electric bill and certainly helps with greenhouse gasses is switching to the new Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) bulbs. We also spent $200 to have our attic insulation upgraded and realized a significant reduction in our air conditioning expenses. Of course everyone should know by know that raising the temperature of our air conditioning to 78 degrees makes a huge difference in your electric bills.

Other ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to use fewer products that require lots of packaging. Stop using individual bottled water. Use tap water and a reusable container. Stop using plastic bags at the grocery store. Bring your own reusable plastic bags. Eat locally produced foods. The energy to transport food across the globe is astronomical.

There are just thousands of easy ways to reduce your carbon footprint. There is even a website that will allow you to calculate your carbon footprint then send a specified amount of money to support a project that offsets carbon emissions such as replanting a forest. To me this is just like letting the wealthy continue to pollute our earth and just pay their way out.

Send for my free report, "Everything You Wanted to Know About Pollution But Were Afraid to Ask". After reading this report, you will certainly want to reduce your carbon footprint willingly.

10. Is the Air in Your Home Clean?
When most people think about air pollution and air quality, they immediately think of those toxin belching factories and automobile emissions that are polluting our air. Actuality, the air in your home can be even more polluted than the air outside. Houses today are so well build that air is trapped inside, festering with chemicals emitted from our everyday activities.

With the advent of air conditioning, windows in some homes are never opened to allow fresh air to enter. If any members of your family suffer from allergies, or you would just like to improve the quality of the air you breathe, here are some tips to help you get started.

• Organic leafy house plants are a wonderful source of fresh oxygen. They add fresh air to your home and absorb the carbon dioxide.
• Avoid the use of chemicals. Clothing that has been dry cleaned should be air dried outside before bringing them into your home. Better yet, buy natural fabric clothing that doesn’t require the use of toxic chemical to clean them.
• Aerosol sprays, ammonia, air fresheners, pesticides, fertilizers, chlorine are all harmful chemicals that leave residue in the air. Avoid their use and check with your local officials as to how to dispose of them properly.
• Eliminate as many soft surfaces from your home as possible. Curtains, carpets, throw rugs and other type fabrics harbor all sorts of toxins and other nasty stuff. The Farmer Almanac’s Green Website, recommends that carpets be replaced with “sustainable bamboo flooring or high quality linoleum that does not leach petroleum compounds”.
• Avoid dry dusting. Always use a damp cloth to dust, and use an environmentally friendly cleaning product on the cloth.
• Switching to “green” cleaning products is a smart thing to do. More and more products are being seen on grocery store shelves that are “green”. No longer is cost a deterrent as these products are comparatively prices to their toxic counterparts. Just be sure and read the labels to be sure they are truly non-toxic.

11. 10 Tips To Save Big Bucks On Fuel

We all need to reduce the amount of fuel we are using. With the soaring price of fuel, it only makes sense to conserve. But even more important, auto emissions are destroying this planet big time. If you can't afford to drive a hybrid at least consider some of the tips listed here to improve your fuel economy.

1. Lighten up the load. Get rid of all the extra junk in the car that isn't needed. For every 100 pounds extra your fuel economy goes down 2 percent. That might give you an incentive to go on a diet yourself. Losing 50 pounds could not only save the planet, it could save you too!

2. Easy on the gas pedal. My dad taught me to drive with a raw egg between my foot and the gas pedal. Avoid jack rabbit starts and don't be an aggressive driver.

3. Obey the speed limit. Driving 5 miles over the speed limit drops your fuel economy by a whopping 6%.

4. Don't idle you car for more than 10 seconds, in winter, don't warm the car for more than 30 seconds.

5. Turn off the air conditioning in stop and go traffic, but don't drive with the windows open at high speeds.

6. Keep your car in good running condition. Have it maintained regularly.

7. You can save about a tank full of gasoline a year just by keeping your tires inflated properly.

8. Avoid multiple trips to the store. Plan your groceries ahead of time and buy in bulk. Avoid traveling during rush hour and consider car pooling and mass transportation.

9. The best way to save gas is to use a bicycle or walk.

12. Are You Guilty of Pollution?
One way many of are guilty of pollution without realizing it is through our web hosting company. Every year millions of website come online. Every one of those websites requires electricity to run them. The energy required to run the internet is greater than that required to run the aviation industry.
Consider using a "green" company for your web hosting, Be sure they are generating their own power to run the servers and not just buying carbon offsets to make up for all the energy they use.

If you haven't got a clue what I am talking about visit http://sustainable-development-forecast.com and subscribe to the free newsletter. Guides are available on topics such as wind energy, solar power and sustained development. It’s time you cared about the environment.

13. Does Air Pollution Cause Tornados?

Does Air Pollution Cause Tornados?

News out of India is reporting on a study done by David Lerach, a scientist out of Colorado State University. This report is saying that scientists studying super cell clouds noted that if the air was clean in these super cells, rotating clouds were produced. If the clouds were dirty and full of microscopic dust, tornados formed. Scientists don't fully understand tornados, but if this study proves to be correct, it certainly gives us another reason to end air pollution.

15. Why is Recycling So Important
FreeCycle/Blogfather

Free Cycle is One Way to Help the Environment by Recycling

You know who you are. Your wife calls you a pack rat, but you consider yourself to be a "collector" of fine treasures.

Your basement is full of old books, your daugher's playpen (she is now 17 years old!) and holiday decorations you haven't used in 20 years. �Your closets are even worse. �There are entire wardrobes from when you were a size 8, there are gifts that people gave you and you have never used,� and, oh yes,� that lava lamp. �Come on, will you ever use that stuff again?

If you are not the type of person to have a yard sale, tag sale or garage sale. If you don't want to spend a long weekend to get rid of all the stuff you have been collecting, and the stuff is too good to throw out, consider FreeCycle.

FreeCycle is a free, non-profit Internet Group that puts people together who either need an item, or who are looking to get rid of items. With nearly 5,000 groups around the world and over 6,000,000 members, you are sure to find a group near you.

The process to sign up for FreeCycle is easy. Just do a Google search for Free Cycle or go to http://FreeCycle.org and sign up for a free account. �A volunteer moderator will review your application and send you an email when you are approved for the group.
You can then post "wanted items"�or "offers". and wait to be contacted.

The FreeCycle terms of service are spelled out on thewebsite, and it is advisable to read them. �FreeCycle does not allow members to take items for the sole purpose of reselling them. �The moderator also closely watches all posts for security issues. �Any post with an address or other information deemed to be a security issue is quickly removed. �People who consistanly do not show up to pick up an item are taken off the lists.

FreeCycle is a boon for recycling. �Items that were destined for a landfill are recycled and reused. �It is great for the environment and is helping people at the same time. �Very often, newly divorced people are looking for furniture to help them get re-established, or a new mom needs some baby items. �The neatest thing about FreeCycle is that you neve know what may show up on the list. �Books, craft supplies, appliances, used ski equipment, carpeting, lumber and computers. �The list goes on and is endless.

16. How to Have a Green Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is coming at the end of this month here in the United States. Traditionally it is a time to stuff ourselves silly, then fall asleep after dinner. This year why not try a sustainable Thanksgiving. 1. Send invitations by mail using recycled paper, or send an email. 2 Make a grocery list and check it three times so you have everything you need to cook dinner. Avoid making extra trips to the store using extra fuel. 3 Buy a locally grown turkey, not one that has to travel thousands of miles to get to your grocery store. 4 Look for an organically grown turkey, from a local farm. These turkeys do not use chemicals such as hormones. Buying an organic turkey from a farm a great distance away, may just defeat the purpose of going green. They may used large quantities of fuel to transport them. 5 Choose vegtables that are in season in your locality. Again, be sure they are locally grown. Foods like potatoes, turnips, carrots, onions, rutabaga, and apple pie are traditional because those were the foods in season when the Pilgrums and Indians celebrated the first Thanksgiving. They sure couldn't have kiwi compote or pineapple upside down cake as a meal choice. 6. Consider a total green dinner and go vegetarian. 7. Don't forget to use the water that you boiled the vegtables in to water your plants. 8. Recycle food waste. Compost what can be composted. 9. Use your best china. No paper plates! 10. Don't forget to use earth friendly products to clean up. 11. Send leftovers home with the guests so you don't end up with science experiments in the refrigerator. 12. Best of all give thanks that there are people that care about the environment and our planet.
