Scientists Gave Their Lives Protecting Seeds

“All human life, all life, depends on plants,” says Jonathan Drori in his TED talk about the Millenium Seed Bank. This project involves collecting seeds in an underground storage facility strong enough to withstand a nuclear attack. It holds over 2 billion seeds, which represent over 10% of the world’s variety of plants.

40 Years of Isolation

At some point in our lives, most of us have dreamt about leaving everything behind and escaping to an island where no one can find us. After all, sometimes, you just need a break from the world. Most of us snap out of these daydreams. But not everyone…

Food Is Free

In some cultures, such as in the US, having a front yard of green grass is not only considered beautiful, it’s also a status symbol.

Leave Only Footprints

Burn it or bury it. In most places around the world, that’s what we do with our garbage. Pretty grim choices. Burning garbage releases dangerous gasses and dust, which contribute to pollution of the air, land, and water, not to mention global warming. While burying it leads to more pollution of the ground and water. And to make matters worse, tons of garbage – most of it plastic – ends up in the ocean.

Sitting Is The New Smoking

The results are in folks and they aren’t pretty. I hope you’re sitting down for this. Well actually, on second thought, why don’t you stand up for it: Chairs are the new cigarettes. That’s right. Sitting is actually worse than smoking when it comes to health. Evidence is piling up that prolonged sitting increases the risk of …
