Image credit: Crap Waltham Forest I talked before about the one tip for staying safe on a bike . But it seems that advice isn’t being universally heeded. In fact, a spate of women cyclists killed on the streets of London has got a lot of people asking questions. Like could technology save us if behavior can’t?… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Image credit: Zero Carbonista You know something has gone amiss when someone posts video #12 in a series of 6. But despite reaching speeds of 100mph in his “wind-powered” electric car , wind turbine entrepreneur (and renewable energy millionaire ) Dale Vince has clearly had trouble getting the project finished. I reported back in April that he was still tweaking, and I can now report that he is, well, he’s still twea… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Not a grocery shop — inside a supermarket dumpster. Photo: Warren McLaren / inov8 We mentioned the other day that the WorldWatch Institute was putting their wonderful WorldWatch magazine out to pasture. But doesn’t mean they won’t continue to deliver a searing look at our planet’s problems and solutions. At the start of this year they released their State of the World 2010 book, which was subtitled Transforming Cultures: From Consumerism to Sustainability. It… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo via D’Arcy Norman When talking about the water crisis, we usually pinpoint things like low-flow shower heads and drought tolerant landscaping in households, or the overuse of water in manufacturing or agriculture. But what gets far less attention is the water infrastructure right under our city streets. Aging, cracked, rife with problems, urban water systems are the source of a significant amount of water loss, with leaks going undetected and unfixed for ages. But there’s one barely-noticed tool that can help us change all that — the fire … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo by Mark Craemer It’s easy to remove ourselves from the conflicts in the Congo. We can sit back with our computers on our laps and read about the war in the DRC, taking note of the atrocities and shaking our heads. But in at least a small way, the computers on our laps, the cell phones in our pockets, the gadgets we use day in and day our are helping fund the deadliest war in the world. Luckily, the blogosphere is recently abuzz with talk about conflict minerals, thanks to an op-ed piece in the New Y… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo by cygnus921 The flight patterns of bees in Britain is getting some special attention as scientists study potential causes for colony collapse disorder. Researchers are fitting tiny radio tags to the insects to monitor their flights and determine whether or not pesticides are affecting the brains of bees, leading them to lose abilities like navigate, collect food, or communicate food sources to their hive mates. It is part of a $14.7 million research push to slow or reverse the dizzying decline of pollinating insects that could lead to the collapse of ou… Read the full story on TreeHugger

illustrations from New York Magazine Climate change was always a tough sell. But as an important article by Jason Zengerie in New York Magazine points out, it mostly seems to happen in another place, and another time. He quotes a pollster: “People overwhelmingly say melting ice is a very bad thing. The problem is that hardly any Americans live next to a melting glacier.” As can be seen by Brian’s post yesterday on the consensus among scientists on climate change , nothing will convince the sc… Read the full story on TreeHugger

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
