Environmentalists aren't the only ones considering divestment anymore.

Are the tables finally starting to turn?

Here is an interesting buisness idea; grow butterflies to let fly at special ocasions and at the same time help the enviornment as well as people with special needs. The project is called Mariposeando (Spanish for something

This Valentine's Day, treat yourself to high-quality undergarments that are kind to your body and the planet.

If you keep it simple, then the wedding will be more fun and relaxed for everyone involved, not to mention kinder to the environment.

Architects at a Mass Timber round table note that we have to build great urban spaces at reasonable densities.

In anticipation of World Environment Day on June 5, the United Nations Environment Programme is hosting a blogging competition to raise awareness about this year’s theme of sustainable consumption.

It would be hell if the Covid-19 breaks out in Nigeria on the scale presently being witnessed in Europe and the US. Apart from the dire state of the healthcare system, 69 million Nigerians have no access to clean water. This invariably leads to water-borne diseases like cholera, which continue to break out as regular epidemics. Social distancing and self-isolation presuppose that people have enough space. In Lagos where we have over 100 slum areas, about 80 people can be found sharing a 10-room building with only two toilets and a bathroom being shared by all with no pipe-borne or treated water readily available.

The coronavirus pandemic is a turning point in history. The world economy is receiving one savage blow after another. Healthcare systems are totally overwhelmed in the advanced capitalist countries as a result of decades of attacks on living standards. The inefficient and ghastly nature of capitalism is in full display in the west, where people until recently enjoyed at least a semi-civilised existence. In Africa, Asia and Latin America the consequences of a full-scale outbreak will be catastrophic.

This bump out adds extra space for a cozy sitting area.

It's in the Fearless Leader's latest move to a planned economy that runs on coal.

Since July, floods have ravaged Thailand, causing $3 billion in damage and killing nearly 300 people. But as the waters approach the capital city, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra says he is confident

floating bridge is described as "a magnificent piece of engineering."

By 2020 every light bulb is supposed to put out 45 lumens per watt. It's a Bush-era regulation that the current government wants to roll back.

To make this small space more livable, there is an emphasis on filling out the vertical space. Plus, a great tatami-inspired seating area.

Infrastructure doesn't have to look boring; this one references an old fable about a mountain utopia and features a modular steel frame.

Instead of trashing these old treads, they have been made into a inter-looping work of art in the same station.

This is one area of measurement where perhaps the Americans, Liberians and Burmese get it right.

Another report on another geoengineering method that is likely too risky to try and utterly not cost-effective: Injecting aerosols into the atmosphere to slow warming (which would do absolutely nothing about ocean acidification, by the way).

We can and should go back and forth about the merits, demerits, risks and potential rewards of the spectrum of geoengineering techniques, from the simple but slow and effective (like afforestation) to the well, more fraught with potential catastrophic

A breakthrough in controlling yeast with computers gives a glimpse at where science is headed with controlling lifeforms.

Plus, spewing sulfate into sky to stop warming won't fully work (redux); what Singapore's doing to make sure sea level rise doesn't swamp their city. Here's what caught our eye this morning.

The first field test of injecting sulfate particles into the atmosphere is proposed for New Mexico; ocean iron fertilization experiment shows more promise than previous ones.

Billions of chopsticks are thrown out each year worldwide. This Vancouver company is trying to turn some of of these into new items for the home.

A small apartment is made to feel larger with custom cabinetry and more.

A new report examines the environmental and health impacts of consuming animals products.

The UN Environment Assembly is putting together a "political declaration on pollution," but we need action more than words at this point.

Photo via Daily Mail Model Naomi Campbell may have once been a major part of PETA's "I'd rather go naked than wear fur" campaign, but in the years since the ads she's distanced herself from the organization--and now it looks like she's landed squarely

Fur farming was banned on UK soil in 2000, but imports are still allowed, which activists say simply 'outsources' the cruelty.

The city is getting bike lanes and light rail transit, and their new apparatuses are chosen to better fit the streetscape.

Regardless of the outcome of high profile public debate--viz Waterkeeper Bobby Kennedy Jr v. Dirty Coal Don Blankenship smackdown tomorrow night at the University of Charleston--or vehement protest from the likes of youth

Mattresses have plenty of reusable materials, but most recyclers don't want them. Landfills don't like them either. But a Tennessee nonprofit does.

Come one, come all, witness The Twittertape Machine that prints a feed of your tweets and mentions on Twitter.

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.

You can see these magnificent photo portraits of Londoners on a wall or on the web.

Step 1: The idea of a car that runs on compost. Step 2: Implementation of a car that runs on compost. We're half done.

Tiny homes aren't just about owning a home debt-free, it's also about more intangible, but equally important things, says tiny home builder Andrew Morrison.

One scientist speaks about how the knee-jerk reaction to "save the corals" needs to deepen into a real love for these fascinating creatures.

The new City Bike program will also feature a 'bring your own battery' scheme, leaving the charging to the rider.

For some reason, they think that this is progress.

Ingvar Kamprad changed the industry, making good design affordable, accessible and desirable.

This shed packs it all in -- workspace, guesthouse, storage, seating, rooftop terrace and even a concealed kitchen.
