Photo via kevwhelan The common estimate is that humans have explored only 95% of the world’s oceans. Considering they cover about 75% of the planet’s surface and hold vast amounts of flora and fauna, yet is incredibly fragile and suffering terribly from abuse by humans and changes in the chemistry of our atmosphere, it’s no wonder that researchers want to collect as much data as possible into one place so that we can better understand this watery resource. Australia – home of such marine treasures as the Great Barrier Reef – appreciates the importance of this task and has p… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Image credit: Ecotricity British wind developer Ecotricity, and French nuclear giant EDF, have already clashed over EDF’s co-opting of a green Union Jack flag . The resulting spat even caused Ecotricity CEO Dale Vince to rename the EDF-sponsored “Green Britain Day” as National Greenwash Day . It looks like the row is set to resume as the “holiday” rolls around again. Interestingly (and perhaps smartly, from a purely t… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Called the Wing House, the structure is being built using a commercial Boeing 747-200. We first reported the plans for the house back in 2005. But the structure requires FAA approval as to not be mistaken for a crash site. digg_url = ‘http://www.treehugger.com/files/2010/06/architect_builds_house_using_45_million… Read the full story on TreeHugger

photo: slagheap via flickr If you’ve paid attention at all to the headlines today, you’ve undoubtedly noticed that during his latest trip to view the BP oil spill clean-up efforts President Obama likened the changes this disaster could have in energy policy to the way 9/11 changed US security policy . I’ve been sitting with this comment all day, wondering if it’s accurate or just evocative rhetoric. The thing is, transforming the way we use energy is even more complex than changi… Read the full story on TreeHugger

They have addressed every one of the proble… Read the full story on TreeHugger
