Climate change, ecology, nature, environment, eco-friendly politics, non-profit projects, human rights, preservation, wildlife... all that we care about.
When we think of immortality or eternal youth, many of us probably imagine things like gods, vampires, the Fountain of Youth, and even the Land of Faerie. Throughout history, there have been many legends and tales about creatures who cheated death or people who set out on a quest to find ever-lasting life. However, of [...]
The US is different from the rest of the world in many ways. You’ll find different laws, traditions, wildlife, and much more.
It’s also the only country left in the world that still uses chimpanzees in invasive experiments.
Every other country in the world has either completely banned or restricted the use of great apes for [...]
When we think of solar panels, we typically either visualize them on roofs or scattered about a desert somewhere. However, thanks to some innovative work, we may soon see them elsewhere—and in colder climates, too.
Recently, the new SyracuseCoE building (with LEED Platinum certification) was dedicated. This center was designed to be used as a living [...]
The consensus over global warming, which is as strong as ever among scientists, now appears unstable in the eyes of the public.
–London Times
If the conservative leaning London Times says so, then it must be true. But joking aside, as George Monbiot has bemoaned, people are not scientists and their opinions on climate change are generally [...]
The buzz around London’s new Strata SE1 skyscraper isn’t coming from the 3 wind turbines that crown its razor-like pinnacle, but from the attention this futuristic piece of architecture is garnering.
The tower is part of a project to regenerate the central London neighborhood of Elephant and Castle. The rejuvenation project has been praised by former [...]
A creative initiative around the missing tower of the Cathedral of Antwerp, that’s what Designing The Absent is all about.

About 6 weeks ago, a group of researchers set out on a mission: to prove that Japan does not need to perform “lethal whale research” in order to obtain accurate and effective scientific information about the large marine mammals.
The mission was a success.
Australian, French and New Zealand scientists set out to Antarctic waters to perform [...]
Solar power is a hot project in sunny Spain. Outside of Seville you’ll find the world’s first commercial solar tower, which appears like a modernist church spire surrounded by an adoring flock of robotic minions. The minions are in fact mirrors – or heliostats – which reflect sunlight onto a receiver located at the top [...]
There is a saying that “birds of a feather flock together”. However, that’s not always a good thing—especially when it means that climate change is pushing 67 bird species towards extinction.
All of these particular birds are of the oceanic variety—albatrosses, puffins and so forth. They are at risk for 2 main reasons:
They don’t produce many [...]
Rural India does not have much infrastructure or development, but it does have plenty of sun.
450 million people in India live without electricity, many in places with no connection to any power grid. Therefore inexpensive photovoltaic solar panels offer a practical solution for those who live off grid and have little money.
Independent solar power can [...]
