Climate change, ecology, nature, environment, eco-friendly politics, non-profit projects, human rights, preservation, wildlife... all that we care about.
I came across this video on DigInfo’s Youtube Channel. It’s shot during the 2009 Eco-Products exhibition. It’s about a quiet spectacular machine that is supposed to make toilet paper from recycled, shredded paper. The machine is called White Goat (!?) and has all it needs to recycle paper right within itself. You simply put shredded [...]
According to a CNN Eco Solutions report bioplastics are booming. Even the 215,000 square foot (20,000 sq meter) carpet that politicians, activists and scientists trounced upon at the Copenhagen climate summit was made from corn. Carpets are ‘reusable’ however.

Many of Brazil’s ultra-poor survive by recycling in the cities or farming in the Amazon in underground economies that both harm and help local and global ecology. A similar dichotomy is reflected in Brazil’s legitimate energy and farming markets.
‘If the desecration of the rainforest is Brazil’s carbon footprint, it is ethanol and hydro that ensure [...]

Last Sunday was America Recycles Day. Did you do your part?
My family and I did; however, it seems as if we were alone in our efforts once again. Those of you who read the last article I wrote about recycling and cleaning up may remember we had quite the mess on our hands. Unfortunately, a [...]
Yet another display has been created to raise awareness on trees and their usage, or rather, the waste of them. Lukas Koh—a Korean designer—created T-issue (Tree Issue) to raise such awareness about sustainability, in a most simple way.
