The Wilderness Act "If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt," President Johnson said after signing the Wilderness Act in 1964, then "we must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it." The act is now 50 years old—did it work? Bird Species Facing Extinction Signal Threats to Human Health Birds are telling us about new threats to the environment—and possibly to human health.

Sahara Forest Project Converts Desert into Oasis

Tosha Caston-Smith shared with you:   Sahara Forest Project Converts Desert into Oasis Inhabitat - Recently a trio of entrepreneurs announced an incredible solution for the world's resource problems: turn the Sahara desert into a source for food, water, and energy. The Sahara Forest Project (.PDF) is a solution that combines seemingly disparate technologies – Concentrated solar power and Seawater Greenhouses – and turns them into a mean, green super-massive biomachine. The elegant system could potentially produce enough energy for all of Africa and Europe while turning one of the world's most inhospitable regions into a flourishing oasis. Available on the App Store.
