A "moot court" will be held over Twitter for the first time ever, and students from 5 major Canadian law schools will argue an environmental law.

Here is someone who gets the message across, in a funny and beautiful way. Australian Stuart McMillen takes topics around environmental sustainability and turns them into catchy cartoons.

Just because summer vacation is over doesn't mean you have to stop having fun.

A new microbial fuel cell can not only drastically reduce the amount of sludge from wastewater treatment plants, but can also produce clean energy at the same time.

The first hydrogen fuel cell powered train in the UK was successfully tested last week, and the team behind it hopes to encourage further development by the rail industry.

The fuel cell is part of Microsoft's Data Plant project to build a zero carbon data center.

The fuel cell generates electricity from living plants and could turn green roofs and marshes into power plants.

The tiny fuel cell is long-lasting, low-cost and could power our tablets and smartphones with clean energy.

Virginia Tech researchers figure out how to extract large quantities of hydrogen from any plant which could drive down fuel cell costs.

The Redox Power System will use technology to produce energy more efficiently for far less money.

This is a great way to understand the science behind microbial fuel cells and make a little renewable energy at home.

Replacing diesel systems with fuel cells could give refrigerated a clean-energy makeover.

Mark your calendars: Toyota is promising (well, hinting very strongly), their 2015 model year collection will include a full-production hydrogen fuel cell vehicle.

Last week at CES in Las Vegas, Toyota revealed the FCV concept car for the fuel cell vehicle they will be making available next year. I had a chance to see the concept this week at the Detroit Auto Show.

This small hydrogen fuel cell charger promises a week of clean power for your gadgets. But is it ready for prime time?

After years of promises, hydrogen-powered vehicles are finally arriving on the scene.

Toyota has finally released its vision of the future, 20 years in the making!

With several starts and stops over the last 20 years or so, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) are finally hitting the roads.

The real competition for green tech is not other green tech, but the old, dirty incumbents.

A new patent filing suggests that the tech giant has fuel cells in mind for future computers and gadgets.

Hydrogen is abundant in water and full of energy. We just need a cheap way to get the hydrogen where we need it.

They are not efficient, there is no infrastructure, and they are shills for the fossil fuel industry.

People often write of climate associated flooding, loss of agricultural productivity, spread of tropical disease, and so on. The City of Lahore, Pakistan is experiencing

As if melting Himalayan glaciers weren't enough to radically (and perhaps catastrophically) reshape water supply in South Asia, a new report from researchers at Purdue University shows that summer monsoons could be

We know that illegal logging contributed to the devastation caused by last summer's flooding in Pakistan, when up to 20% of the nation was underwater. New research now sheds light on how so much rain fell: A rogue

As salinization impacts agriculture around the world—another effect of climate change that will hit already-vulnerable places and people the hardest—farmers, small-scale farmers in particular, have to figure out how to

This Bilbao tower is like nothing the Passivhaus world has seen.

Following these guidelines can help you to build a higher quality, longer-lasting wardrobe.

Inspired by the small, simple and efficient spaces of Japan, is this lovely tiny home that comes with a lot of luxurious features.

The smart arrangement of spaces and natural daylighting help make this cottage's relatively small footprint feel quite big.

Florida's beautiful Frenchman's Forest Natural Area sets the stage for our photo of the day.

Tar sands and thermal coal are out but natural gas and conventional oil can stay. For now...

In the grand scheme of things, $5.9 million is not a huge amount to take from fossil fuels. But when you reinvest in renewables...

Big risks evidently still promise big rewards.

This next week is all politics, what with today's Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primaries on January 8. Most Americans are probably already tired of the election coverage, but we're hoping people stick it out and ask the these presidential
