Press Release Body: The fight against global warming is unremitting and the website
www.4ecotips keeps everyone - from the general public to high-flying industrialists
and entrepreneurs - up to speed with the very latest solutions for beating this
major scourge of our times.

For example, 4ecotips reports that there is a major upswing in renewable energy
production. In 2007, global wind generating capacity is estimated to have increased
by 28%, while grid-connected solar photovoltaic capacity rose by 52%.

In fact, Mohamed El-Ashry, chair of the Renewable Energy Network for the 21st
Century (REN21) is quoted in 4ecotips.com as having said: "So much has happened in
the renewable energy sector during the past five years that the perception of some
politicians and energy-sector analysts lag far behind the reality of where the
renewables industry is today!"

4ecotips.com also reveals that the UK is witnessing the rise of a new group of
eco-conscious young people that are provocative about their concerns regarding the
environment. Called the 'Greenagers', 95% of this new breed of 4-15 year-olds
identify global warming as a subject they are 'concerned' about with over half - 59%
- confirm global warming is something that makes them 'very concerned'.

Around 70% of them believe climate change is something that will affect them in
their lifetime and an outstanding 95% believe it's important to encourage other
people to be more environmentally friendly.

4ecotips.com also highlights a UK league table of who's greenest, who's keenest and
who's lagging behind so far as northwest towns and cities are concerned when it
comes to tree cover in urban areas.

It's a question that needs answering, points out 4ecotips.com. Though an initial
questionnaire was sent to the region's tree officers as preparation for a study,
apparently anecdotal evidence from various parts of the region suggests that urban
tree cover may actually be reducing, despite significant investment being made in
planting and new woodland areas.

China and India are probably two of the world's most significant emerging economies
and, as such, are highly criticised for their regard to the causes of global
warming. However, an article by one of 4ecotips.com's special correspondents
explains that both governments have taken positive steps to incorporate sustainable
development into higher education.

Indeed, they are "going several notches ahead of the basic environment education".
Sustainable education "hopes to prepare the citizens of tomorrow to understand and
not undermine the importance of longterm survival and thereby comprehend the dangers
of over-consumption and production, pollution, deforestation and excess use of
natural resources!"

Finally, 4ecotips.com has announced the availability of "the world's first
environmentally friendly golf shoe." It's a product that sets new standards for
sustainable footwear and manufacture.

Here Andrew Leech, 4ecotips editor, highlights renewable energy progress. He also
states of the 4ecotips announcement about world\'s first eco-friendly golf shoe. For
