We concur with David Sobel, a trailblazing environmental educator who raised his children in the heart of nature that teaching the present and next generation to love nature is a precursor to saving it. Afterall, it has been proven that people would do anything to save the things they love. If we all love nature,Continue reading “Love the Earth, then save it”

UN Secretary-General calls for climate financing for developing countries
Developing countries contribute the least to the climate crisis but are most vulnerable to its effects. In addition to their obvious vulnerability, developing countries are also disadvantaged to finance access for climate mitigation and adaptation. The UN Secretary-General call for the allocation of a 50% Share of climate finance to the most vulnerable people inContinue reading “UN Secretary-General calls for climate financing for developing countries”
Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill 2010
Considered the largest accidental marine oil spill in the world and the largest environmental disaster in U.S. history, the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explosion also called the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, was an explosion that occurred on April 20, 2010, on the BP Exploration & Production-operated Deepwater Horizon oil rig located in the GulfContinue reading “Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill 2010”
New research prove that there is less than 1 percent probability that recent climate changes occurred naturally
New research conducted by Princeton University researchers has shown that recent climate changes are human-induced. In fact, the paper published reports that there is a less than 1% possibility that the changes occur naturally. Climate activists have for long described climate change as anthropogenic, but climate deniers have been quick to combat the position withContinue reading “New research prove that there is less than 1 percent probability that recent climate changes occurred naturally”
Thank a Bee
Do you kill bees or do you chase them away? We know they can be scary to some but try to resist the urge to kill them every time. Your food depends on them. Thank a Bee today.
April is here
Welcome to the 2nd quarter of the year 2021. Welcome to April.
COCA COLA NAMED THE WORLD’S WORST PLASTIC POLLUTER FOR THE 3RD STRAIGHT YEAR AS AT DECEMBER 2020
For the third year in a row, Cocacola was once again named the world’s worst plastic polluter. What an award! Competitors Nestle and PepsiCo were found to be the second and third biggest offenders by environmental group. Cocacola’s branding was discovered on 13,834 pieces of plastic at 51 of the 55 sites surveyed which wasContinue reading “COCA COLA NAMED THE WORLD’S WORST PLASTIC POLLUTER FOR THE 3RD STRAIGHT YEAR AS AT DECEMBER 2020”
ANTARCTICA’S ICE MELT IS NOT CONSISTENT: New analysis shows sea-level predictions may need adjustment.
Antarctica’s ice is melting contributing to massive amounts of water to the world’s seas and causing them to rise, but that melt is not as linear and consistent as scientists previously thought as new analysis of 20 years worth of data indicates. The analysis built on gravitational field data from a NASA satellite system showsContinue reading “ANTARCTICA’S ICE MELT IS NOT CONSISTENT: New analysis shows sea-level predictions may need adjustment.”
Insect Disturbance and Climate Change
Scientists have already warned that climate change likely will impact the food we grow. From rising global temperatures to more frequent “extreme” weather events like droughts and floods. Forest insect populations are influenced by temperature and other environmental conditions, and so future climate changes can be expected to affect forest insect outbreaks. Research is showingContinue reading “Insect Disturbance and Climate Change”
Biodiversity and Pest control
Biodiversity offers great potential for managing insect pests. It provides resistance genes and anti-insect compounds; a huge range of predatory and parasitic natural enemies of pests; and community ecology-level effects operating at the local and landscape scales to check pest build-up Pests and diseases are a natural part of any ecosystem. What farmers fear areContinue reading “Biodiversity and Pest control”
10 WAYS YOU CAN HELP TO STOP CLIMATE CHANGE
Anxious about the climate crisis, don’t know how to help? Here are 10 ways you can help to fight climate change: The effect of climate change has ranged from increased extreme weather events to rising sea levels, extended wildfire seasons, and prolonged droughts that put pressure on food crops. This change keeps happening right beforeContinue reading “10 WAYS YOU CAN HELP TO STOP CLIMATE CHANGE”
Discovery: A new material for separating Carbon dioxide from industrial waste gases, natural gas or biogas.
The ‘Green Deal’ presented by the European Commission in 2019 calls for the net emissions of greenhouse gases within the EU to be reduced by 2050. This requires innovative processes to be carried out to reduce the amount of those gases entering the atmosphere. Chemists at the University of Bayreuth have developed a material thatContinue reading “Discovery: A new material for separating Carbon dioxide from industrial waste gases, natural gas or biogas.”

Scientists take a rare chance to prove that we can quantify biodiversity by “testing the water”.
Organisms excrete DNA in their surroundings through metabolic waste, ploughed skin cells or gametes and this genetic material is referred to as an environmental DNA (eDNA). eDNA can be collected directly from water, soil or air and can be analysed with molecular tools with no need to capture the organisms themselves, this information can thenContinue reading “Scientists take a rare chance to prove that we can quantify biodiversity by “testing the water”.”
Which are you?
We are seeds as well as parasites to the earth. We can either give or take, depending on our perception of growth. Zephyr McIntyre What is your perception of growth? Is it such that involves the complete destruction of the environment to satisfy your wants? Or is it such that has sustainability as its watchword?Continue reading “Which are you?”
Carbon Offsetting
This refers to investing in emission-reducing activities to make up for one’s carbon footprint. This act ranges from planting trees to funding low or zero emissions projects and everything in between. This method is often carried out by companies who seek to reduce their future emissions. As such, they invest in such projects that isContinue reading “Carbon Offsetting”
