5 Eco Hacks for getting rid of pimples
Make a paste of baking soda and water, then put some directly on the pimple. Leave it on for a few hours, preferably overnight and ideally avoid walking abouts in public. The paste will dry over night, reduce inflammation, and naturally remove pus from the pimple.

Ice
Just like how you might use ice on a sprained or twisted ankle, bruises, and other injuiries, you can also use ice on pimples. Applying ice for about 15 minutes should help reduce inflammation.
Baking soda and tooth paste work the same way, and are applied on pimples the same way. Use one or the other depending on your preference. One note: don’t use the gel kind.
Visine
Visine will work not only on eyes but also on skin, too. Visine restricts blood vessels, thereby reducing inflammation.
Even better than white vinegar is cider vinegar. The acid characteristics of cider vinegar will dissolve the pus in pimples. Since it’s the pus that enlarges pimples, once they’re removed the pimples reduce in size. Try applying some of the vinegar with a cotton swab and your skin should be good to go!

Peru – poor, indigenous are chief victims of climate change
It is perhaps not an earth-shatteringly surprising thing to say that poor and indigenous communities suffer the most from environmental problems. The world's poor tend to suffer more from economic crises, war, disease, and just about everything else when compared to those of better means. After all, if wealth doesn't shield you from these things, there isn't much point in having it, is there? Recent reports exemplify how communities of poor and indigenous people in very different parts of the world...
Top 10 Environmental Charities Supported by Celebrities
Every one of us (or at least a lot of us) has our ways of living green or helping the environment. We recycle, buy organic products, do volunteer work or donate money to environmental charities and organizations. Believe it or not, there are quite a few celebrities out there that do the same. Cate Blanchett recently narrated a video for IspeakEarth.com. Daryl Hannah did volunteer work aboard the Steve Irwin vessel with the Sea Shepherd crew. And I think we...
Go Green: Ways to Stay Cool During Summer
This summer has been practically unbearable, as far as temperature goes. The sun is blazing, wildfires are sprouting up all over the place, and this past June had some of the hottest temperatures on record. Sure, you could turn on the air conditioner or a bunch of fans, but they use electricity and waste energy—especially if they are cooling off rooms that don’t need it. Here are some tips and tricks you can do to keep yourself cooled off, without...
Environment Art: Painting the Town Green!
Green is the new color of controversy. Love it hate it, you cannot ignore it. Green is all about being pro-environment, as well as the money and greed that stands in the way of all things pro-environment and green is also the new trend in the art scene. Well, it’s not really that new because “greening” of art actually started in the 1960s, when artists began to feel that the new and modern art of the time was not in harmony...
UK’s Clean Energy Cashback scheme encourages households to generate own green power
When Germany introduced a similar FIT scheme 10 years ago -- but with targets of ten percent -- it started a green energy revolution in the country, turning it into a European leader in renewables. – CNN The UK government announced on February 1st that it would pay households that generate renewable energy. The scheme, called Clean Energy Cashback, is a feed in-tariff or 'FIT' system similar to those already operating in many European countries and parts of the United States. What...

Video: Gulf dolphins ‘drunk’ on toxic gunk
Oil-covered dolphins have been spotted swimming in the Gulf of Mexico exhibiting both unusually agitated and ‘sluggish’ behavior. Both journalists and professional dolphin spotters have noticed dolphins ‘acting drunk’, some with their dorsal fins encrusted in reddish crude. When we realized what we had discovered, we called Daryl Carpenter, owner of Reelscreamers, and asked him if anyone else had noticed the oiled dolphins or reported it. Carpenter said that news crews had taken video footage, but he did not know if...
58 pilot whales die on New Zealand beach
Rescue volunteers in New Zealand are attempting to save 15 pilot whales that washed up on the remote Karikari Beach on the northern tip of the country’s North Island. A total of 73 whales were stranded and so far 58 of them have died. A member of New Zealand’s Department of Conservation stated that the pilot whales probably beached themselves at night, which delayed their discovery and the rescue effort. From an Associated Press report: New Zealand frequently sees several mass whale strandings...
World’s Deepest Volcanic Vent may Hold the Answers to the Origin of Life
Yet another deep-sea discovery was made last week—by use of a remote-controlled submarine. Scientists have found the deepest known volcanic vent over 3 miles (5 km) beneath the Caribbean. The area they found the vent is known as the Cayman Trough. The pilot of the submarine and geologist, Bramley Murton, said that the area was “like nothing I had ever seen before”. Imagine multicolored mineral deposits, spires, and vast colonies of fluorescent blue microorganisms. Murton described the experience as “wandering across...
UN: Reducing methane and black carbon could give climate temporary quick fix
A new UN report concentrates on the warming effects of black carbon (soot) and ground-level ozone like methane. Both are considered “short-lived climate forcers”, which have more immediate effects on temperatures than CO2. Therefore limiting their production would also have a more immediate impact on the climate. In the past this strategy has been largely ignored in favor of plans to limit CO2 emissions, which have so far proved ineffective and lack the immediacy of results that can be so problematic...
