Global Environmental Technology, has a product that is 100 percent organic and was invented in 1998. Not only does the product clean up the oil, clean animals, it can also be recycled for use afterwards. But why is it not being used?

In a study released by the International Journal of Biological Sciences, analyzing the effects of genetically modified foods on mammalian health, researchers found that agricultural giant Monsanto’s GM corn is linked to organ damage in rats.

This past weekend a devastating typhoon named Ondoy swept through metro Manila creating a total blackout. Hundreds have died and over 500,000 people are now homeless, many still waiting for help. All of us have the power to make a difference and it’s easy! Here’s how…

Can you imagine harnessing sufficient quantities of solar power to supply electricity to cities in Africa and cities in Europe, maybe the world? Did you know if just 0.3% of the Saharan Desert was used for a solar plant, it would produce enough power to provide all of Europe with clean renewable energy. Amazingly this is…

The products we buy all have very specific impacts — from where the cows graze before supplying your milk, to how near your home your bread is baked. Of course, it isn’t quite that simple; there are numerous factors throughout the entire life…

Earth’s landmasses in the late Precambrian probably weren’t pleasant, but at least they were green. A new analysis of limestone rocks laid down between 1 billion and 500 million years ago suggests that there was extensive plant life on land much earlier than previously thought. Amazingly the plants…

Oregon’s House of Representatives voted last Monday night to legalize the cultivation of hemp, becoming the sixth state to do so just this year. The move is part of a rapidly growing nationwide trend to liberalize laws relating to marijuana. Hemp is a botanical…
