US Hurricane Outlook not so Good This Year; Threats Posed to Gulf Coast Cleanup
It would seem some of our worst Gulf Coast Oil Spill fears may come true this year. Colorado State University forecasters are predicting 18 hurricanes or tropical storms for the Atlantic basin this year, between June 1st and November 30th; five of the hurricanes are expected to be major—with wind speeds of 111 mph or greater—and may diminish cleanup efforts along the Gulf Coast. The forecasters say the increased forecast is due to warmer than usual tropical sea surface temperatures in...
NASA: Earthquake in Chile shifted Earth’s axis
Last Saturday's deadly earthquake in Chile may have slightly shortened the day and affected the position of the Earth's axis, according to NASA scientists. The quake measured 8.8. on the Richter scale and is estimated to have shifted the Earth's axis by 2.7 milliarcseconds (8 cm or 3 in) and shortened the length of the day by 1.26 microseconds (millionths of a second) according to an article from Bloomberg. So much land was moved during the earthquake that it may have...
Put Your Lego Collection to Good Use!
Remember when you were a kid and loved to play with Legos? (Actually, I know quite a few adults that still collect them today). Over the years, pieces can go missing, sets become lost or broken and all that hard work (before the time of step-by-step, color-coded instruction manuals) amounts to nothing. Today, you might have a box or bag of Lego pieces in your attic, bedroom or basement and you may wonder what you could possibly do with them. You...
Build It Green: Can You Make Your Home Eco-Friendly?
It seems we’ve spent that last few decades building the concrete jungle and skyscrapers that blocked off the sky from our sight. But now we need a DYI book to go back to the natural building blocks to save our planet (better late then never.) Mud huts and thatched roofs aren’t the answer though. After all, there just isn’t enough land available to spread the human population horizontally. The other option, of course is to build eco-friendly house with pro-green...
Japanese scientists discover smart slime
The Green Slime are coming! It sounds like a bad Cold War science fiction movie, but slime is smarter and more cunning than you think. Scientists in Japan are researching how slime molds navigate in search of food. Though slime mold has no brain, it shows signs of intelligence and can even navigate itself through a maze by organizing its cells and finding the most direct route to a food source. From the Telegraph: Humans are not the only living things with information-processing abilities. Simple...
More on Canada’s polluting ways
Not to Canada bash, but the North American Country – known the world over as much kinder, gentler and more just in comparison to its neighbor, the big bad US of A – has been grabbing a few headlines lately for its deteriorating (or at least more conspicuously poor) environmental record. And let’s be real. Environmental pollution is also a social justice issue. Coal kills people as well as animals and plants. Never mind greenhouse gases. Likewise the tar sands in...
‘England’s national author’ takes on the topic of climate change
Ian McEwan’s forthcoming novel, entitled Solar, is about a physicist working on solutions to environmental problems – specifically artificial photosynthesis – who gets caught up in a media controversy due to an unfortunate slip of the tongue. The story itself, according to an interview with McEwan by the Eastern Daily Press from August 3rd, is less about climate change and more about a character who finds himself in a crisis brought about by chance, against the backdrop of climate change...
Simple solutions, greener technologies: Whidbey Community in action
Inspired to seek alternatives and long-term solutions due to depleting fossil fuel resources, Whidbey residents in Washington State has launched its Transition Whidbey Initiative program; it is a perfect example on how collective effort within the community can become a catalyst for social change. Their action plan includes community mapping of local food sources, providing training to pass on necessary technical know-how and agricultural skills to other residents, developing a local currency for intra-island trading and promoting renewable energy. Taking these...
UK’s urban farms on the rise
Honey from Newcastle, vegetables grown in Nottingham and London cheese are just a few examples of urban produce now being grown and sold in British cities. All across the country, people are increasingly choosing to grow their own food for reasons of economics, health and in order to feel a connection to their food and the land. Sustain, a UK alliance for better food and farming, has launched an online project called City Harvest for ‘demonstrating and promoting the benefits of...
Urine + Ash = Fertilizer?
One of the more strange methods of creating home-made fertilizer has come with some surprising results. A recent study conducted at the University of Kuopio in Finland showed that human urine combined with wood ash can help the growth of tomato crops. Separately, these two ingredients have been used in fertilizers for centuries, but no one ever thought of combining them until now. Surendra Pradhan and Helvi Heinonen-Tanski collected urine, stored it at 45 degrees F (23.4 C) for 6 months...
