Global Biofuels Industry Although biofuels are mainly used to replace or supplement the traditional petroleum-based transportation fuels, they can also be deployed to generate heat and electricity.

What is the price of global connectivity? I'm always interested in looking at the design expressions of other cultures, especially when they're communicating the virtues of the bigger global brands. For me, what's insightful about this undertaking, is tracking the visual and experiential subtext of cultural difference. And whether this cultural signature can withstand societal convergence.As technology, and the internet especially, unites our global community into a single homogeneous tribe, are we gaining the near nirvana of the single, universally captivating visual style, or loosing the precious sense of individualism?As the world gets every more smaller, is our rush towards a fully connected world, with all its idealistic dreams of freedom of expression, the open spread of knowledge and the empowerment of the individual, a positive triumph in furthering mankind's physical, sociological and economic growth?Or, in our drive to treat all humanity as equal within the web – perhaps as a single point data node, are we in danger of trampling all over the delicate tapestry that makes human life so enriching and full of diversity?Are you just a number?With the ‘network...more

They have not taken their business and sent it overseas to be made cheaper by citizens of other countries. Each of these businesses, the ones selling to other countries, and the ones who are sending their work away to other countries, may seem like the only way business can be done these days. On the contrary, there are still people out there who make their products domestically and only sell to Americans, and globalization is affecting them in different ways than the ones who are embracing it fully.Globalization does a lot for businesses today, especially because of the technological age we live in. People whose businesses used to be confined to their hometown because of their lack of connections with other communities are...more
