She’s 92 and thinks that getting cheap and fresh asparagus year round from Peru is proof that all is well in the world, a gift of globalism and technology. But as Felicity Lawrence notes in the Guardian, it is not such a great gift for anyone. Firstly, they are running out of water…. Read the full story on TreeHugger

What oil plume? Scientists have reported that the miles-long deep sea oil plume which resulted from the BP oil spill has essentially vanished, apparently eaten by microbes previously unknown to science. Also this week, an argument published by the Guardian calls for the FDA to lighten up on the regulatory process for approving genetically engineered animals; researchers have created a new kind of concrete that’s made out of waste products from coal plants; and wildlife photographer Paolo Torchio discovered a mysterious “bearded” antelope in Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve.

He asks: ” Do you arrive stressed, exhausted, ripped off, degraded, suicidal, homicidal or all of the above?” Once you get there, being in the office isn’t always a joy either.
