Trees are amazing. They reduce pollution by absorbing carbon dioxide and give off oxygen in the air which we can breathe. They prevent flooding by absorbing water from the ground and holding the earth with their roots. Above all is their aesthetic value. They stand there looking beautiful - their blossoms swaying with the wind.

My previous post was about world environment day, where the theme was kicking the CO2 habit. We all know the general examples, but do we know how much we can cut back on? Here are the tips straight from the UN on how to start! 1. Stop using an electric alarm clock! Using a wind-up clock instead saves 48 grams of CO2 a day. 2.

This might cost in the short term, but it’s only going to be as good as you treat oil spill booms. It is my idea to give this lesson that talks oil spill prevention so poorly. Oil spill containment is a practical method to forget about using booms. First off, I have noticed over the last year a oil spill containment that suppre

You would think commercial fishermen might be good custodians of the marine habitat, and probably many are, but at times I wonder if they understand their impact on their own livelihood by over-fishing and short-term plundering of the very species that provides their income.

We’ve heard it over and over. Oil is going to run out some day, and the government isn’t doing much about it! An article over at the Environmental News Network says that a poll with over 15,000 respondents said that majority believed that oil is running out. I agree! Especially with the oil prices rising!

In Minnesota, judges have recommended against approval of new power lines to a planned coal-fired power plant, citing environmental concerns and inadequate examination of alternative fuels. This is likely to prevent the planned power plant from being built, which will be a major victory for environmentalists. With countries l

According to one report back in November 21, 2007: an enormous 10-square mile swarm of billions of these jellyfish wiped out a 100,000-fish salmon farm in Northern Ireland. Having been stung by jellyfish before, the memory of the incident actually caused me to view them in a different way. However, thanks to my daughter’s comme

It’s still a subject for debate, though, since the technology is theoretical. Here are a few facts about this new type of energy. I’m all for alternate
