A few generations ago, it seemed as if our resources were not limited. We assumed that resources like gas, oil, and even coal were infinite. However, now we are starting to see these resources are limited. We’ve been fighting against issues like global warming and carbon emissions from non-renewable sources (primary resources). As these crises…
By 2035, climate change will reach a point of no return. Unless immediate, monumental action is taken, 2035 will literally be the beginning of the end. These number are optimistic, as science sides with caution. That mean we have 17 or less years of living without food shortage, economic collapse, unliveable environments, and inevitably, extinction. Ice…
For thousands of years, mankind has stared up into the heavens and seen the stars. Now the dream of reaching them has never been closer.

Appendino’s campaign strives to promote a vegetarian lifestyle in order to reduce the city’s environmental impact and improve the overall health of Turin’s citizens. However, as a…
Imagine yourself cheerfully living your life without producing any garbage whatsoever, in your house and outside. Furthermore, imagine yourself creating your own homemade, chemical-free, hygienic and cleaning products, including makeup, shampoos, and toilet cleaners, with the comfort of knowing that you aren’t polluting the world.

Sharknado? Nope, rather Shark-cano, this time in real life! That’s right folks, sharks have been discovered swimming in the highly acidic and hot waters of an active underwater volcano. Rather, three species of sharks. Sharknado fans, rejoice. A hammerhead shark, silky shark, and the rarely seen sleepy shark were recently captured in a video featured below,…
After wasting my time in about every way possible, I came across an inspiring and – to be rash – cool website. It’s entitled “Zen Pencils” and it illustrates quotes and interprets them using cartoons. I find the cartoonist’s style to be very unique and I love how they utilize cartoons to voice the meanings…
Exactly eight days ago, Alberta Premier Alison Redford resigned. Broadcasted on many Canadian television channels and billed as a “major announcement from the premier,” Redford officially announced that she would, as of the evening of March 23, officially resign as premier.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p86BPM1GV8M It’s amazing how a short three minute video can alter your way of thinking. I love this video not only for it’s simplicity, but also for the lasting effects it can take upon the viewer, challenging different perspectives. The fact that this is a Carl Sagan clip doesn’t hurt either.
