Simran Sethi-Why and How Do We Engage?
July 18, 2012 By
The way to make information relevant is not to ask people to think about or worry about something new—especially not something that’s far away in time or space. The stories have to be close to us, emotionally or physically. Or, we have to displace what’s already in someone’s pool or worry.

Coral Reefs Rebounded in The Past
July 7, 2012 By
Scientist and Researchers have been stressing for years that global warming is causing the coral reef to die off. It has been shown to us in numerous forms that the coral reef is indeed taking damage, but new research is showing that this isn’t the first time coral reefs have suffered through harsh temperatures and bounced back. So the future just may be bright again for all corals out there.
The Yale Environment 360 reports: ”An increase in ocean temperatures that occurred 4,000 years ago triggered a collapse of coral reef systems in the eastern Pacific that lasted for about 2,500 years, according to a new study. In an analysis of 17-foot core samples taken from the frameworks of coral reefs off the Panama coast, scientists from the Florida Institute of Technology found that the reefs stopped growing during a period that coincided with the start of a period of dramatic swings in the El Nino-Southern Oscillation, including periods when ocean temperatures elevated significantly. They say this gap in growth also occurred in reef systems as far away as Japan and Australia.”

Thousands of Indigenous Farmers Chased Off of Land
July 6, 2012 By
So I believe everyone was once told that going green is the best thing for us as people and for our planet. I felt we were lead to believe that going green will take a world effort and also will take a lot of compliance. Well this recent story out of Guatemala may have you look at going green from a different perspective.
According to the Guardian, Guatemala is one of the fastest growing hubs for biofuel production and the demand for it’s fertile land has been bad news for it’s farmers. Just recently it was reported that security forces forcibly forced out out thousands of people from their land, so European biofuel companies could move in and began growing crops for biofuel.

Pigeons Can Recognize Human Faces
June 28, 2012 By
Now I know it’s hard for many people to remember faces, but when it comes to Pigeons don’t expect them to forget. According to new research pigeons have more advanced cognitive processes than we actually give them credit for. It’s pretty interesting and amazing that pigeons can actually recognize familiar faces from unfamiliar ones. Lead researcher Dr. Anna Wilkinson says this:
Such advanced cognitive processes have rarely been observed in pigeons and suggest that they not only recognize individual humans but also know who they know, something which could be very important for survival. To know individuals and act appropriately to them is enormously advantageous. (Science Daily)

Having the human waste separated at source and processed on-site would lower costs needed in recovering resources, as treating mixed waste is energy intensive and not cost-effective,” Prof Wang said. “With our innovative toilet system, we can use simpler and cheaper methods of harvesting the useful chemicals and even produce fuel and energy from waste.
