Partnership Between Coral And Algae Threatened By Global Warming

Over two hundred million humans depend for their subsistence on the fact that coral has an addiction to ‘junk food’ - and orders its partners, the symbiotic algae, to make it. This curious arrangement is one of Nature’s most delicate and complex partnerships – a collaboration now facing grave threats from climate change. Read the All Article HERE

China CO2 Emissions Growing Faster Than Anticipated

Forecasts from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had predicted that China's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions would rise by about 2.5 to 5 percent each year between 2004 and 2010. But the estimates are two to four times too low, according to new research led by Maximilian Auffhammer of the University of California, Berkeley. The study calculated that for the period from 2004 to 2010, China's CO2 emissions will have grown by at least 11 percent a year. Read the All Article HERE

Bacteria and Nanofilters - The Future of Clean Water Technology

Bacteria often get bad press, with those found in water often linked to illness and disease. But researchers at The University of Nottingham are using these tiny organisms alongside the very latest membrane filtration techniques to improve and refine water cleaning technology. These one-celled organisms eat the contaminants present in water - whether it is being treated prior to industrial use or even for drinking - in a process called bioremediation.

Newly defined signaling pathway could mean better Biofuel Sources

A newly defined biochemical pathway in plants may provide the scientific tools to design plants that will yield larger quantities of alternative transportation fuels than currently can be produced, according to Purdue University researchers. The pathway moves materials that determine cell shape and size through a system of signaling proteins, said Dan Szymanski, a plant geneticist and cellular biologist. By learning more about the growth and development process, it may be possible to engineer plants with improved properties such as cell walls that are more massive or are more easily fermented in the biofuel process.

How Green is your Supply Chain?

Over the past ten years, protection of the environment has become a household concern and an industrial priority. Concerns about industrial pollution are often linked with the production of industrial waste and high energy usage. However, not just industry but all businesses have an environmental impact – even within the office environment there may be significant emission of greenhouse gases and high usage of finite natural resources.

Artic ice melt clears a Northwest Passage

Arctic ice has shrunk to the lowest level on record, new satellite images show, raising the possibility that the Northwest Passage that eluded famous explorers will become an open shipping lane. The European Space Agency said nearly 200 satellite photos this month taken together showed an ice-free passage along northern Canada, Alaska and Greenland, and ice retreating to its lowest level since such images were first taken in 1978.

2009 World Green Roof Congress in Toronto

The City of Toronto and Green Roofs for Healthy Cities successfully bid for the 2009 World Green Roof Congress. >The Congress will bring more than 1,000 delegates to Toronto from around the world to discuss the latest research, policy and technical advances in the rapidly growing green roof industry. The World Green Roof Congress is organized through the World Green Roof Infrastructure Network, an international organization made up of the leaders of national green roof industry associations from around the world.

Kyoto Protocol

The Kyoto Protocol is a protocol to the international Framework Convention on Climate Change with the objective of reducing Greenhouse gases that cause climate change. It was agreed on 11 December 1997 at the 3rd Conference of the Parties to the treaty when they met in Kyoto, and entered into force on 16 February 2005.... Read the All Article HERE

Not all Plastics belong in the Recycling Bin

People want to do the right thing and recycle their plastics - especially if it's easy. At the homes of environmentally conscious people across southern New Jersey, nearly every piece of polymer winds up at curb's edge awaiting the recycling truck. Plastic caps are often screwed onto empty soda bottles: Hard-plastic cat litter containers are filled with other plastics and left at the curb; huge plastic toys that have outlasted youthful exuberance find their way to the familiar blue barrel...

Waste-to-Energy

Americans are producing more and more waste with each passing year. In 1960, the average American threw away 2.7 pounds of trash a day. Today, the average American throws away 4.5 pounds of trash every day! What are we going to do with all that trash? One solution is to burn it. (Burning is sometimes called combustion.) All organic waste contains energy. Organic waste is waste that is made from plant or animal products. People have burned one type of organic material for millions of years. Can you guess what that material is?... Read the All Article HERE
