The EnviroLink Network Gulf Seafood Deformities Raise Questions Among Scientists And Fisherman While the true extent of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill was not known for about 4 years, as Al Jazeera notes in the video above, the repercussions of BP's 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico may become apparent more quickly. Discovering eyeless shrimp, lesioned fish and other mutated and underdeveloped seafood, fisherman in the Gulf are pointing fingers at the BP spill. Biologist Dr. Darryl Felder told the news agency that Gulf seafood populations are dropping at alarming rates and that species richness is "diminished." The Gulf Restoration Network's Scott Eust explained the bizarre shrimp deformities. Al Jazeera reports that both the government and BP maintain that Gulf seafood is safe. A study published last October in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives found that the FDA allowed "up to 10,000 times too much contamination" and didn't identify the risks to children and pregnant women posed by contaminated seafood.

10 TED Talks on predicting the future Art Playlist: 9 talks that give a new view of nature Most people rarely feel compelled to stare at grains of sand.

Honey On Tap From Your Own Beehive - Flow™ Hive Home 10 World’s Greenest Countries The Environmental Performance Index (EPI) is a method of measuring the performance of national governments related to environmental policies. Yale University and Columbia University release the EPI every year during the World Economic Forum, ranking 163 countries according to 25 indicators. The final mark shows how close the country is to accomplish the environmental goals. 1. www.metrolic.com Iceland is considered to be one of the world’s most beautiful countries because of the breathtaking nature, but they can still enjoy that due to the high level of accomplishing the environmental policy goals. 2. Switzerland was leading the EPI list years ago, but now has fallen to the second place just due to incredible Iceland performance. 3. www.thundafunda.com Costa Rica government is strongly committed to following the Icelandic example for use of renewable energy sources. 4. www.sputcom3.co.uk 5. www.boxturtlebulletin.com 6. www.wallcoo.net 7. www.ontfin.com 8. www.globalissuesat-cz.blogspot.com

These 31 charts will destroy your faith in humanity Earlier this week, Rob Wile of Business Insider posted his graph-heavy opus: "31 Charts That Will Restore Your Faith In Humanity." Naturally, we here at Wonkblog were all eager to see the results. But we'd quibble a bit with Wile's interpretations of the data. 1) Inter-state wars are on the rise since 2002. Systemic Peace 2) Dictatorships still exist: 3) We haven't eradicated human slavery: It's Getting Better All The Time / Stephen Moore & Julian Simon 4) People around the world are becoming just as lazy as the French: "The Improving State of the World" (c) Cato Institute 2007. 5) Look at all the frivolous crap we're spending money on: 6) Pretty much everyone in the United States can now read Fifty Shades of Grey: 7) More 77-year-olds are dying than ever before: 8) We vanquished infectious disease only to find more horrible ways to die: 9) We're making progress on cancer treatments, but ugly charts with blue backgrounds remain a depressing fact of modern life: 15) Annoying babies are everywhere:
Green Options - Organic living, eco product reviews, tips for going green and more Living Lawns Loren Byrne scoops up a handful of dirt, sniffs it, and smiles. The organic matter that arthropods eat goes right through them, he explains. That's what gives the soil its rich black color. James Collins Lawns, symbol of suburbia, have rarely been studied as ecosystems. Byrne uses his free hand to point out a quick-moving white speck called a springtail—a tiny insect named for the tail-like appendage it uses for locomotion. Byrne, an ecology graduate student at Penn State, is taking advantage of this abundance to study the health of an American archetype: the suburban lawn. Byrne spent the summer of 2001 comparing arthropod populations in high- and low-maintenance lawns, as well as unmowed locations. Byrne took 15 soil cores from each of the three types and extracted the arthropods with a homely but effective device known as a Tullgren funnel—a soda can with the top and bottom removed and a plastic funnel attached to one end.
