It’s Eat or Be Eaten for South African Birds
What do you get when humans deplete a bird’s main food source? An appetite for food chain destruction. This isn’t about any old bird, however, this is about the Great White Pelicans of Malgas Island in South Africa. You see, these pelicans love to eat fish, particularly sardine and anchovies. Unfortunately for them, people have been overfishing off the cost of South Africa. So, these birds need to adapt and find a new food source. Their next choice? Other birds. The main...
Teaching Your Kids About the Environment
As many parents know, as soon as children start to talk, they start to ask questions. Studies say that most 4-year-olds ask about an average of 400 questions per day (though they haven’t met my niece, who asks that many questions before breakfast). “Why is the sky blue?” “Why is that flower yellow?” and of course, probably the most asked question when toddlers begin to stretch their limits -“Why NOT?” Yes, children between the ages of 4 to 7 can...
Scientists Find Large Plumes of Oil Hiding Under the Gulf’s Surface
Well, scientists have discovered one possible reason why the Gulf Coast oil spill is taking so long to contain and clean up: large plumes of oil are lurking under the surface. It has been nearly a month since the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded and still the containment is an issue. Since the oil spill began, roughly 210,000 gallons of oil have flowed into the Gulf of Mexico and has either slowly drifted towards the coast or further out to sea. A...
European supergrid could power UK with foreign green energy
Soon Wales will receive wind energy generated off the coast of Ireland via high voltage cables spanning the bottom of the Irish Sea. There is already a link between the UK and the Netherlands via the BritNed cable and by 2019 a 900km interconnector between Norway and the UK should be completed, supplying energy from a clever pump storage system powered by wind turbines. Another connector between the UK and France is already in existence, with two more proposed, although one...
Climate change – lessons from history
Back at university, one of the first things my history professor said was that history does not repeat itself. It is sui generis: of its own kind, unique. What he wanted us to do was encourage us to examine historical events on their own merit and not simply as patterns that are predestined to duplicate themselves. Yet we do like to see patterns and it is indeed beneficial to learn from history so that we do not make the same...
The American perspective on wind and solar power
The United States is a society grounded in individualism and independence, with a strong suspicion of state intervention and – when compared to many other countries – a notable lack of civic cooperation. But it is civic cooperation, political will and government action that is needed to achieve important environmental goals such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and getting off of fossil fuels. It’s all very well and helpful if a few people paint their roofs white, eat organic food...
So really, no more plastic bags in Los Angeles?
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors passed a ban on plastic grocery bags in unincorporated areas of the county. “No store shall provide to any customers a plastic carryout bag”. That’s what the official measure reads. Now how much people live in Los Angeles? According to the Wikipedia page for Los Angeles, the city holds 3,83 million people, while the surrounding urban area of greater Los Angeles extends to an added 14,8 million people. The county is home to 88...
Why Green Cars could be the Future
Green cars are still fairly new within the automotive market, leaving many drivers deliberating whether to make their next car purchase a green one. This doesn’t come surprisingly, following many warnings that the increasing fuel prices have no sign of hitting the brakes. The environmental reasons behind green cars are equally as obvious, they’re designed to reduce the effects of climate change that traffic emissions have on the environment. It’s common knowledge that petrol cars contribute to global warming, but...
Animal sex abuse is on the rise in Germany
The practice of having sex with animals is becoming an epidemic in Germany. “There are even animal brothels. The abuse seems to be increasing rapidly and the internet offers an additional distribution platform”, said Madeleine Martin, the animal protection official for Hessian state government. The law needs to be changed to make it possible to prosecute and punish these animal abusers. “It is punishable to distribute animal pornography, but the act itself is not”, Madeleine Martin told the 'Frankfurter Rundschau'. Sex with animals was...
Climate change videos from Oxfam and the U.K. Government
This first video, from the international charity Oxfam, shows how climate change affects poor developing nations first and foremost, and how rich developed nations are the chief sources of greenhouse gasses and other factors that contribute to climate change.

The ad has sparked...
