Let's support it~~~

Not to be outdone, Yahoo has gone green in a big way, too. Earlier this year, co-founder David Filo pledged that Yahoo would go carbon neutral, basically by purchasing carbon offsets for their massive electricity usage.

Today Yahoo will go one step further, and they are bringing in actor Matt Dillon to help them. They (Yahoo and Dillon) are announcing the “Greenest City in America” challenge, and will search for the most environmentally friendly city in America. The winner gets a whole fleet of hybrid taxis (or the cash equivalent). Another fleet of taxis goes immediately to New York City.

Yahoo will also urge people to become more environmentally friendly via two handy websites -Be a Better Planet and Yahoo Green.

So who’s the greenest? No idea. But more hybrid cars and solar panels are popping up around around silicon valley, giving the SouthPark guys plenty of material for a follow up episode or two.

雲南梅里雪山雪崩一死五傷

(星島) 2007 年 05月 02日 星期三 09:46PM 雲南迪慶藏族自治州德欽縣梅里雪山景區，發生雪崩意外，一名遊客死亡，五人受傷。據悉，事故發生在下午三時左右，於梅里雪山景區雨崩神瀑附近。事發後，迪慶州假日辦立即啟動旅遊景區安全事故應急救援處置預案，成立事故處置工作領導小組，組織公安、旅遊、衛生等相關部門著手開展救援及事後處置工作，共百多名救援人員進行救援。

上一年同是接近四月尾，我也是在那雨崩神瀑。還記得那村民叫我們不要走得那冰川太近，那時候還不知怕衝著大風不斷向前走。現在看到這則新聞才覺自己太走運了...正值五一旅遊旺季，希望他們能逄凶化吉啦.

雨崩神瀑那種震撼
