News: Forest Bathing
Going for a walk in a forest or 'forest bathing', as Japanese call it, improves immune response. Scientists suspect this is due to the benefits of breathing in phytoncides - airbourne chemicals produced by trees to protect themselves from fungi and insects.

News: The Kaimanawa Wall
This is fascinating. A seemingly ancient man-made wall in New Zealand. Theories abound about it's origins. It could be a natural occurance - but it sure looks man-made.

News: Ecology 101: Mining is BAD
The process of mining (especially open cast/pit mining) produces large quantities of toxic waste - containing such yummy substances like arsenic, lead and mercury. Obviously this reduces populations of organisms down-stream from the mine.
Mining companies are pushing hard to extract huge lodes of gold and copper up-stream from Bristol Bay. A bay that already supports many diverse ecosystems. I feel an environmental disaster in the making...

News: Can I have milk in glass bottles again please?
Many plastics contain Bisphenol-A (BPA) which mimicks the hormone estrogen. The side affects of which can cause sterility, heart-disease, behavioural changes and possibly worse. Due to widespread plastic use Earth's oceans are now contaminated with BPA - which isn't much fun for marine life either.
