Photo via National Geographic Earlier this week, I reported that certain oil spill experts say crude-covered birds be killed rather than cleaned , because so few actually survive. Evidently and unsurprisingly, the article sparked something of a furor amongst animal lovers, who claimed I didn’t fairly represent the views of those scientists who supported cleaning oil-coated birds. So what’s the verdict? Should we clean every oil-covered bird we can, or put them out of their mise… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Taking a cue from biomimicry, he created the Waterboxx, a highly intriguing way for plants in dry areas to have enough moisture to take root and survive. While it is intended for regrowing vegetation in dessert areas, it could also be a big boon for

The oasis is home to 24 species that are found no where else on earth, including an incredibly endangered Devil’s Hole pupfish that numbers only around 120.

Photo by Jaymi Heimbuch The Thames has come a long way from the polluted mess it once was just a few years ago. Clean-up efforts have been so successful, even fragile and fickle seahorses have returned . Now, the citizens of London can even drink the river water, thanks to a new desalination plant that has just opened up. It is the United Kingdom’s first desal plant, and while it will provide the city with much needed drinking water, desalination is not withou… Read the full story on TreeHugger

It’s great to be back out on the field. My latest adventure/assignment brings me to India, where I am right now. As soon as I landed yesterday, we headed straight over to a neighborhood where people were celebrating Holi, one of the biggest holidays here in India. The celebrations consist of people dancing in the streets, throwing paint powder on one another. As soon as these guys saw us, and our cameras, we were instantly targeted. Read more here about India's water crisis and how it impacted even this celebration, and learn more about Holi here.
