Sleeping too little can kill, research shows
I always knew lack of sleep was bad for you. I mean, you don't have to be a genius to equate feeling horrible with poor health. Now there is scientific evidence that it can actually kill you – and not just from falling asleep at the wheel. According to a Dutch study, missing just one night of sleep can impede the body from processing sugar. Lack of sleep could be a significant contributor to rising global levels of type 2 diabetes. From...
Getting back in touch with nature in Greece
image: Visit Greece (Flickr CC) Those who know me – and few do, what with me being a surly, reclusive type – know that I am not exactly what is known as a “nature boy”. While I like a bit of sun, a walk in the woods and a dip in the sea, I like to know that I can return at will to a soft bed, a comfy couch and a decent wifi connection. This past week I've been sleeping...
European climate change: Droughts and bad wi-fi
As the climate changes and parts of the Earth get hotter, drier summers, while others flood, what really worries me is how this heat will affect my wireless internet connection. Death, destruction, crop failures, horrible diseases and sinking islands will not matter if I can't get a good wi-fi signal. This is the spin given in a piece for the Telegraph regarding a recent speech by UK Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman: She warned of intense rainfall, droughts and heatwaves in the next...
One year after Fukushima, Japan nearly nuke free
Of Japan’s 54 nuclear power reactors, only one is currently operating, following the shutdown of a Kashiwazaki-Kariwa reactor by Tokyo Electric Power Co. The remaining nuclear reactor still in operation is expected to be taken offline in early May. Japan’s about face turn from nuclear power of course follows the nuclear disaster at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in March 2011, which saw Level 7 Nuclear Events at three of its reactors. The earthquake and subsequent tsunami that caused the meltdowns at Fukushima...
Ted Danson on the environment
Actor Ted Danson has been involved in environmental activism since the 1980s when he was star of the hit sitcom Cheers. On April 1st he sat down to talk with CNN about the reasons for his environmentalism as well as current topics including ocean acidification, the need for clean energy, and President Barack Obama's recent opening up of US coastlines to offshore oil drilling. The environmental issue closest to Danson's heart is the state of the Earth's oceans. In addition to...
Typhoon survivors in Philippines still in need of help
Thousands of surviving victims of Typhoon Ketsana are still in desperate circumstances, half a year since the storm struck the Philippines, causing floods, landslides, death and destruction. Displaced villagers wait in temporary basic shelters for some solution. But for the government of the Philippines, the survivors are not enough of a priority. Five months after Typhoon Ketsana hit the Philippines, some evacuation centres are starting to close but thousands of people are still without homes. –Al Jazeera English Watch this Al Jazeera English video...
Another Oil Spill Happened in China
At the beginning of the year, thousands of gallons (liters) of oil made their way from a burst pipe to China’s Yellow River (Huang He). Now, it may happen again. Nearly 1,000 tons of oil sludge made its way through the Luohe River and across farmland in the Shaanxi province. The oil came from a collapsed recycling pool at a sewage treatment plant. Thus far, over 2,000 people have pitched in to clean up the mess and 8 containment belts are...
Swiss Engineer Plans to Travel Across the Globe…Without Emitting a Single Gram of CO2
Those of you who followed GreenFudge last year may remember a story about the Biotruck Expedition: an old, salvaged school bus that traveled to Asia on french fry (chip) fat and biodiesel made from cooking oil. Why? They were (or actually, still are) trying to travel around the world without emitting more than 2 tons of CO2. Unfortunately, a mishap occurred in India and expedition leader, Andy Pag, was arrested. Now, it seems another person wants to take on a similar...
Breaking News: China’s Yellow River may be Threatened by Oil Spill
Last week, an oil pipeline burst in northern China, causing one major oil spill. Thousands of gallons (liters) of diesel flowed into a main tributary of the Yellow River. The pipeline, operated by CNPC (China National Petroleum Corporation), is located near Shaanxi province and is used to transport diesel from Gansu province in the northwest to the more centralized places in the country. Investigations show that the bursting was caused by a local construction project. To make matters worse, oil has already...
Bad Biofuel: Rainforest destruction gets green light at European pumps
Malaysian palm oil lobbyists have apparently succeeded in keeping – and even increasing – the amount of biodiesel sourced from palm oil used in European cars and power plants. In an effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions, the European Commission's Renewable Energy Directive (RED) requires 10% of fuels in the EU to come from renewable sources. Yet despite palm oil being technically renewable as a fuel source, its cultivation is a serious threat to rainforests and peatlands in Malaysia and Indonesia....
