U2, a band famous for their desire to save the planet and for their contributions to third world aid, have come under fire for their carbon footprint. The band's world tour this year will generate enough carbon to equal a trip for the four band members to fly first class to Mars, a journey of 34 million miles. picked by Bingo 4 months ago

While humans are still struggling to get rid of unwanted carbon it appears that the heavens are really rather good at it. New research by astrophysicists at the University of Warwick has discovered that a mystery stellar explosion recorded in 2006 may have marked the unusual death of an equally unusually carbon-rich star. picked by AutumnLotus 6 months ago

Everyone's probably heard about the impact we have on the environment, but how many trees does it take to offset the amount of carbon you make. Imaging how many trees your company would have to plant to make it carbon neutral.

Carbon Capture and Storage is a method of capturing and storing the carbon emmisions from burning coal and other fossil fuels safely, and in an environmentally friendly way. picked by Ankabout 7 months ago

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a strategy to capture, store and eventually recycle carbon from vehicles to prevent the pollutant from finding its way from a car tailpipe into the atmosphere. Georgia Tech researchers envision a zero emission car, and a transportation system completely free of fossil fuels. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

A survey of the water for more than 28 million Americans has detected the widespread but low-level presence of pharmaceuticals and hormonally active chemicals.
Water utilities could make drinking water purer. But the costs of "extreme purification" - far beyond what is needed - are huge in terms of increased energy usage and carbon footprint. picked by bingo 11 months ago

Energy Champions is a fast and furious game where you must collect the recycling dropped from above by the selfish workers and place them in the correct recycling bins before your carbon workprint becomes too big. picked by willcheng 2 years ago

Mountain ash forests in Australia are the best in the world at locking up carbon, a new study has found.

And one of the authors says climate change negotiations should give more attention to protecting forests like these. picked by AutumnLotus 5 months ago

Chemists can now use carbon nanotubes to judge the heat of chilli sauces. The technology might soon be available commercially as a cheap, disposable sensor for use in the food industry. Richard Compton and his team at Oxford University, UK, have developed a sensitive technique to measure the levels of capsaicinoids, the substances that make chillies hot, in samples of chilli sauce. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

Scientists have found new evidence that the Earth's natural feedback mechanism regulated carbon dioxide levels for hundreds of thousands of years.

But they say humans are now emitting CO2 so fast that the planet's natural balancing mechanism cannot keep up. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

A Britain-based palaeontologist believes he has found the world's first known Tyrannosaurus rex footprint. Phil Manning said he has high hopes the one square metre (about 11 square feet) print, from the famed Hell Creek area of the northwest US state of Montana, is from the flesh-eating giant, although 100 percent certainty is impossible. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago
