A lengthy report about 5G exposure has found that this newfound radiation source is damaging the health of creatures that live in the wild. The 150-page report, compiled by researchers at the University of Washington and Johns Hopkins University, contains three sections, the first of which looked at how environmental EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies) have radically increased in recent years. … Continue reading NOT JUST HUMANS: Scientists say 5G radiation is killing animals and wildlife
Deadly pesticides can harm bee populations for generations, study finds
A recent study showed that pesticides can harm bee populations for generations. The paper, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, found that bee populations can take a hit for generations once a bee is exposed to a common pesticide in its first year of life. Lead author and University of California … Continue reading Deadly pesticides can harm bee populations for generations, study finds
Due to changes in solar cycles, Earth could enter a period of GLOBAL COOLING, scientists warn
Due to changes in solar cycles, Earth could enter a period of global cooling, warns Valentina Zharkova, a scientist who studies the magnetic waves in the sun. In 2015, Zharkova and a team of researchers authored a paper predicting that there would be a new grand solar minimum occurring between 2020 and 2053. She is now warning that … Continue reading Due to changes in solar cycles, Earth could enter a period of GLOBAL COOLING, scientists warn
COVID-related plastics pollute the world’s oceans, study reveals
A recent study published in the journal PNAS calculated for the first time how much waste in the form of single-use personal protective equipment (PPE) ended up in the oceans since the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic began in 2020. “The Covid-19 pandemic has led to an increased demand for single-use plastics that intensifies pressure on an already out-of-control global … Continue reading COVID-related plastics pollute the world’s oceans, study reveals
Ancient and green: Study suggests billion-year-old green algae is the ancestor of all plants on the planet
Scientists discovered fossils of what may now be considered to be the oldest green algae known to science. The seaweed, named Proterocladus antiquus, was said to have lived about a billion years ago. Despite its size (about 2 millimeters in length), the algae had a big role: it was able to produce oxygen through photosynthesis, possibly making it … Continue reading Ancient and green: Study suggests billion-year-old green algae is the ancestor of all plants on the planet
This fascinating off-grid lamp is powered by photosynthesis
Dutch designer Ermi van Oers has created an off-grid lamp that uses a living plant to produce light. The device, dubbed “Living Light,” uses microorganisms of plant origin to convert the chemical energy that a plant naturally produces during photosynthesis into an electric current. The lamp is fully self-sufficient, meaning it doesn’t have to be plugged into … Continue reading This fascinating off-grid lamp is powered by photosynthesis
Ticks carrying Lyme disease thrive near California coast, study finds
Ticks have been turning up in areas that were once believed to be free of the blood-sucking parasites, according to a study led by researchers from Colorado State University. Published in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology, it showed that disease-carrying ticks, which were once thought to inhabit woodlands, are also present near Northern California’s coastline. The arachnids inhabit the … Continue reading Ticks carrying Lyme disease thrive near California coast, study finds
Toxic “forever chemicals” found in fertilizers made from sewage sludge
Toxic “forever chemicals” seem to be everywhere these days, from drinking water sources to breast milk. Now, it appears that the chemicals, also known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), have also found their way into fertilizers, according to a report published last month. The report was written by researchers from the Ecology Center and the Sierra Club, … Continue reading Toxic “forever chemicals” found in fertilizers made from sewage sludge
Celebrate, but not with glitter: Glitter is a toxic pollutant that should be banned, warn scientists
Glitter is tiny, sparkly and festive, but these minuscule particles are harmful to the environment. According to experts, glitter should be banned to protect oceans and marine life. Why is glitter bad for the environment? Glitter particles are very small, and marine animals often mistake them for food. This is bad because microplastics like glitter can damage … Continue reading Celebrate, but not with glitter: Glitter is a toxic pollutant that should be banned, warn scientists
