Big pharma being paid to poison our planet. New GMO and agent-orange/glyphosate mix to hit earth in 2015.
The US EPA is set to approve new GM seeds and toxic sprays made by Dow Chemical in the face of scientific opposition. There are millions of dollars on the table. Dow will take market share and expand the use of mono-culture and toxic sprays. These initiatives are inherently unsustainable, but in the short term …

Tell nestlé to stop trying to patent the fennel flower.
Keep nature free. They want to charge you for water, although it falls from the sky. They profit from selling the main cause of obesity, sugar, a drug more addictive than cocaine to children. Next I suppose they will pay-off governments to profit from the air we breathe. Tell Nestlé to stop trying to patent …

Population and wealth – a picture of the sad, obvious inequality.
This graphic from The Economist sums up what we all know but don’t like to face (as @RustyRockets just pointed out). So 0.7% of the people have 44% of the wealth, and 68.9% of the people have 2.9% of the wealth. That doesn’t sound fair, or like democracy, or Christian/Islamic/Bhuddist, or … anything to be …

Garlic – a wonder food.
Garlic! The French love it. The Koreans love it. We love it. Strong and crunchy raw, or soft and sweet when cooked. Or crushed into a paste with sea salt to be added to anything. Tasty? Yes! And also invaluable as a remedy for common ailments as its antiseptic properties can purge your body and …

DTRTTRW in yoga pants: FouseyTube
More than 15 million people have watched Yousef Saleh Erakat’s most popular video – the Yoga Pants Prank. It’s funny and it works. Erakat highlights embarrassing aspects of modern culture, like men gawking at women (when they shouldn’t) and women flaunting their booty in public, which encourages men to be misogynistic and other women to flaunt …

Poor in America: conditions influence behaviour too.
Try being poor. OK, that’s not going to happen. The closest some people come of us come is “slumming it”. Or maybe we eat at a roadside kiosk while backpacking during a year “off” before or after college. Actually not having resources, no cash, no car, no home, no job, no education, no family, no …

In my lifetime, we’ve wiped out half earth’s wildlife

The latest edition of the Living Planet Report is not for the faint-hearted.
