In a Moscow meeting between President Dmitri A. Medvedev of Russia and President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela this week, news broke that the two oil-rich nations would be working together more closely than ever before. Their new partnership would involve coordinated action that would potentially impact global gas and oil markets, and would include foreign policy considerations as well.
During these talks, there has also been the undercurrent of news that Chavez is expected to purchase more than one billion dollars in Russian arms. Aside from this, the two leaders discussed a strategic partnership to counter American strength in the global oil market in general, and in the region with Venezuela, specifically.

Green Shopping Made Easier: Greenzer
Search and Shopping online are getting more and more highly developed, every day it seems. Local search, more niche sites and fully targeted advertising for very specific demographics are all the rage. And for the most part, it’s great for the consumer, or anything from products to information, because they are being served with such specificity that it’s like a site destination has been engineered and designed just for them.
Greenzer’s Place in the World of Green Online Stores
Along comes Greenzer, “a next-generation shopping engine designed to make environmentally conscious shopping easier,” according to the site itself. Currently in its beta stage, Greenzer is still developing, but their aim is high. They are working to build “a unique service for consumers to browse, compare and shop thousands of greener products from dozens of our carefully chosen merchant partners.”
In order to facilitate this mission, the company works to collect and organize products and details about merchants, all the while searching for the best green merchandise and products available. New features are promised, and further content is something to look forward to. Check out the site and give them some feedback! You’ve got the chance to get exactly what you need out of your green shopping experience!
