Well it was just a matter of time before some commie scientists named an extinct animal after the 44th president of the United States. Obamadon gracilis is the name, and the foot-long creature — which was discovered in a
fossil bed in Montana — has been extinct for about 65 million years. And
ironically, its extinction may indicate that paleolithic changes in
climate affected animals differently than previously believed.
Paleontologist Nicholas Longrich explains that scientists are now
rethinking the idea that the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs
spared smaller lizards like Obamadon:....
India’s Biological Diversity (BD) Act was enacted in 2002. There is now a decade of its existence to reflect on.The genesis of the law can be traced to the Convention on Biological Diversity(CBD), which was signed at the Rio Summit in 1992. While assessing the 10 years of the Act, one has to be mindful of how India itself has undergone change in these years. By the time the Act came into force, trade imperatives had begun to influence environmental law and policy making both at the national and global level. The final shape of the Act and the manner of its implementation through the BD rules issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests....

Today's technology has changed people's life style around the world to a great extent and people have almost forgotten about the ecology around them that keep them alive. In today's satiation we are in a compulsive state to explain about the importance of Eco friendly products at least to the future generation. Being eco friendly must start from every home. Children must be taught about using only Eco friendly products in the future so that the damages made by their ancestors are rectified at least in their generation slowly but surely. We have been using harmful chemicals to fertilize the soil and pray the crops with pesticides to make the field yield more but do we ever realize how harmful is it to the biological cycle and ecology to have such harmful no degradable chemicals to be dumped in excess that will make the fertile fields barren in 10- 15 years.

Sony Europe's General Manager, Environmental Communications - Emily Young - talks about the importance Sony place on being green, and their plans for a sustainable future.

Each passing day, more and more people are leaning towards the use of green equipment. Small and large corporations, as well as end users alike are realizing the advantages of switching to eco-friendly tools for their everyday needs. It is perhaps the need to preserve and care for our precious natural resources and ecosystems that the demand for green equipment is steadily increasing. Amidst the global recession that is still in play to this very date, the United States government has invested billions of dollars in special projects and research for alternative sources of energy. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 has allocated about more than a hundred billion dollars out of its total budget of a trillion dollars to the energy sector.

Solar cells are everywhere these days, from household rooftops to handheld devices, powering up with the sun is popular. However, while solar cells allow us to harvest renewable energy, a lot of problematic materials go into creating them, and their embodied energy footprint can be substantial. Just how much does the popularity of solar cells contribute to the problem of e-waste? As solar panels start to reach the end of their useful life, we're about to find out. ...
