Giuliano Mauri started building this cathedral in 2001. It is one of the most natural pieces of architecture in the world.
The artist, who passed away in 2009, claimed that the supporting structure will decay with time and the eighty hornbeam saplings he planted, will continue growing, forming a roof over the building “Cattedrale Vegetale” is situated in the North of Italy.

‘Skipaholic’ finds freedom and comfort in living on what other people throw away
Katharine Hibbert had a comfortable lifestyle in London and a good job as a journalist. But she lost her job when the banks collapsed and her landlord subsequently raised her rent. Katharine took this misfortune as an opportunity and decided to shed the materialistic burdens we normally take for granted and put her ideals to the test. She became a squatter and 'skipaholic', scavenging food – and everything from egg slicers to duvets to bicycles – from the trash of...
Friday the 13th: Facts, Phobias and Folklore
Do you suffer from Paraskevidekatriaphobia or Triskaidekaphobia? If you do, then you will certainly love today—or perhaps not. Paraskevidekatriaphobia is the fear of Friday the 13th and Triskaidekaphobia is the fear of the number 13, both of which occur today. Lucky you! The superstitious history of this day is almost as mixed up as some of the superstitions that come with it. It would seem no source can agree on when the good luck/bad luck concept came to be associated with...
The fight for right in Brazil
Today on Facebook, I’ve noticed a lot of posts with the picture of Chief Raoni, an indigenous Brazilian tribal leader, apparently crying after being informed of a decision by Brazil’s president Dilma Rousseff to allow the construction of a massive hydroelectric dam in the Amazon rain forest. The Belo Monte hydroelectric dam would be the 3rd largest hydroelectric project of its kind in the world. Though touted – and not without reason – as a ‘green’ energy project (and big money...
Chevy Volt: America’s first mass-produced electric vehicle
In 2009 the American auto giant GM filed for bankruptcy, downsized and got bailed out by the U.S. government. President Obama announced that GM would be restructured; a new GM would emerge and 'produce the high-quality, safe, and fuel-efficient cars of tomorrow'. Cue the Chevy Volt. The Volt isn't exactly a hybrid – it's completely battery powered for the first 40 miles (64 km) of use, after which it can shift over to running like any other petrol/gasoline-powered vehicle. So...
Guardian editorials on cold snap put climate skeptics in their place
It's as predictable a feature of the British winter as log fires and roasting chestnuts: a national outpouring of idiocy every time some snow falls. –Guardian Ouch. No vitriolic venom is spared for so-called 'climate skeptics' in an Environment Blog opinion piece by Leo Hickman and George Monbiot in Wednesday's Guardian. They are having none of the right wing politics masked as scientific skepticism by journalists and members of the U.K.'s parliament. True, Northern Europe and parts of the U.S....
Morocco celebrates Earth Day
Morocco's farmers face soil degradation, air and water pollution and a changing climate. The North African nation's coastal waters suffer from overfishing and contamination, which has negatively affected the local fishing industry. But Morocco also cherishes its environment and is making efforts to protect it. For the first time ever, major Earth Day celebrations are happening in a North African City, in recognition of the Moroccan government's promises to tackle environmental problems. Rabat, the capital of Morocco, has been chosen because of...
The Green Lighthouse of Denmark: A Beacon for Climate Change
The Danes have done it again. They have made yet another positive mark on the world, in the fight against climate change. Apparently hosting the big climate change event of the year was not enough for them and that is where the Green Lighthouse comes in. The new Green Lighthouse building has just been unveiled at the University of Copenhagen. Designed by Christensen & Co. Architect, this building will be the new student services center and is to act as a...
Green Algae Power?
It eats CO₂ emissions, grows at a very fast rate, doesn’t use crops or land that would otherwise be utilized for food production (see food vs. fuel debate) and “can also produce far more fuel per acre than palm, sugar cane, or corn.” A CNN EcoSolutions story from Auguest 24th, 2009 explores the developments, pros, cons and challenges of algae biofuel. The main problem still hindering algae fuel viability is economics. The algae fuel industry needs heavy investment and faces stiff...
Madagascar – ecology in turmoil
The island nation of Madagascar, once a vast treasure of diverse and unique plant and animal life, is now an environmental disaster zone. Located in the Indian Ocean off of the coast of southeast Africa, Madagascar is an island with an area larger than France and an ecological system unlike any other in the world. There are as many as 99 species of Lemur, the primates that are endemic to Madagascar – meaning, in terms of ecology, that they exist...
North Sea oil: Updates in Greenpeace vs. Chevron
After four days of Greenpeace activists hanging in a survival pod attached to an oil drilling ship in the North Sea, a court in Edinburgh, Scotland issued an injunction yesterday ordering the campaigners to leave on grounds of safety. According to an article in the Observer, oil giant Chevron claimed the need to move their ship due to rough seas, though Greenpeace countered that Chevron simply intends to venture into another site for exploratory deep-sea drilling. Greenpeace announced that it would...
