Tam may be one of the most eligible bachelors on the planet right now, but still his friends are having a hard time finding him a date. He’s just one of an estimated 10 to 30 Borneo rhinos left in the wild and it may be up to him to keep his species from extinction–but only if a fertile female can be found. So far, efforts to track down that lucky lady have failed, though conservationists have their eye on one gal in particular. With estimates giving the rare rhinos a mere ten years before extinction, the race to find Tam a mate is as urgent as ev… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo by audreyjm569 When we think of copper and water, we usually think of long-lasting pipes. However, copper and water have a more intertwined relationship than that. Each time drivers hit their breaks, or boaters put a new coat of paint on their vessel’s hull, they’re contributing to the level of copper found in the waterways, which becomes toxic to fish.
