It’s not that the idea is not terrifying, it’s just that the most terrifying video would actually involve no debate whatsoever. The video itself demonstrates how important it is to approach to the environment in different ways. It poses the question of whether or not we take action now, later, or never. [...]

I’ve been sharing thoughts and ideas that I’ve heard about, read or watched over the Internet with some friends today. Aside from the typical response of, “Ehren, do you even have a life?” (I play with a lot of stuff over the web), there were plenty of people who really liked the idea of [...]

When I first watched this video, I think the first thing that came to mind was how brilliant and simple an idea it was that the planet would have it’s own method to cool itself. Without giving away too much of the video, David Keith points out how volcanoes cool the Earth in a [...]

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ehren Cheung. I’m a 27 year-old male and I live in Toronto, one of Canada’s cosmopolitan cities. My background is in web marketing but I wanted to help the environment, and not in the conventional sense.
