On Sunday, November 13, Derrick Jensen is leading a day-long talk at Berkley University where environmental authors and changemakers will gather together to be interviewed in front of a live audience about crucial issues facing the state of the planet today and how a strong resistance movement can be built to reverse, lessen or stop these issues altogether, before it is too late.

I really love Sugru. Seriously, it’s incredible. Have you tried it? Because you should.
It’s like blue tac, mixed with super glue and a bit of Playdough (not literally of course). It can fix anything. It’s waterproof, dishwasher proof, it can withstand hot and cold temperatures — its bloody strong and its FUN!

Recently I did a big clean out of my closet and decided to donate my clothes to charity. As I was going through my drawers I came across things like bras, that I simply thought were not an item that could be donated due to its personal nature. However, it turns out that there can be a second life for your used or new bras that you simply have never worn or don’t fit right.

To catch a glimpse of what’s in store for the next generation of light rail vehicles (LRV), one needs to look no further than the Japanese-built SWIMO. Exhibited this past week at the Mass-Trans Innovation in Japan, Kawasaki’s design has raised the curiosity of the industry and gained the attention of the public.

If you live in a dense city like New York or San Francisco you understand what people mean when they describe alleyways soaked in rubbish-rich stench. Simple mathematics will tell you that when you take large quantities of people and squeeze them into small spaces there is going to be some sort of mess. Generally, it is trash. Or rubbish, garbage, debris, waste – whatever you want to call it – it smells.

Just a few centuries ago, crops all across the world were flourishing without the use of insecticides and man-made chemicals. That was, of course, before the pesticide era – also known as the 1940s and 1950s. For almost two centuries the side effects of this synthetic chemical were mostly unknown. A discovery in the 1960s changed that by confirming that the DDT in the insecticide being used on crops posed a serious threat to biodiversity by preventing fish-eating birds from reproducing.

Bigger is not necessarily better. At least when it comes to houses. This year in America the average house size has decreased slightly. Most likely due to the (*sigh*) “Current Economic Climate” and other money issues. But possibly this dent could be attributed to these little homes making a rather big impact.
