Flying can be a divisive topic when it comes to curbing emissions, but airplanes have other environmental impacts too.

It was shot from "sea to summit" in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, one of the most dynamic landscapes on Earth.

On Monday, a molasses pipeline (yes, that's a thing!) leaked 1,400 tons -- 233,000 gallons -- of molasses into Hawaii's Honolulu Harbor and it has turned into a killer mess with no quick solution.

Building her first tiny home meant enough financial freedom for this tiny house builder -- enough to build another off-grid tiny vacation home in Hawaii.

More than two years after the nuclear disaster at Fukushima, Japan, the situation is worse than ever.

There are huge gains to be made by boosting efficiency. Even if we can never get to 100% because of the laws of physics, we could get much closer than we are now.

We still need a ton more renewable energy in order to combat climate change, but the good news is that renewable energy is picking up the pace.

Mushrooms and game meat in European regions where Chernobyl fallout was most intense still have excess radiation, but Burgundy truffles get the green light; foodies rejoice.

The technology turns the problem of nuclear waste into a source of safe nuclear energy.

In the UK and Canada, manufacturers are urging the government to give consumers money to get old cars off the road and into newer, lower emission vehicles and "catalyse a new low carbon transport revolution." George

George Monbiot told us that flying is dying; London artist Richard DeDomenici tells us that a return transatlantic flight is equivalent in CO2 and pollution output to driving a car 30 miles a day for a year. So the artist/humorist has

Between 2002 and 2015, these 'streamer lines' helped reduce seabird by-catch in Alaskan fisheries by 78%.

It wasn't too long ago that biofuels were basking in the glow of nearly everyone's approval - a quick fix for reducing CO2 emissions from transport. The EU aims to fill 10% of its transport needs with biofuels by 2020. But biofuel's easy ride may be
