This is just one of those awesome, feelgood stories, and it’s one related to already awesome solar energy, so I think you have to check it out:
Solar Power in a Suitcase for Medical Situations (via Clean Technica)
I saw this last year when it was published but I apparently didn’t post on it here on Planetsave (surprisingly). But one of the creators of the film, Richard Heap of Slackjaw Film, recently contacted me about the movie, so I’m sharing it now.
The film is called ”Consumed – Inside the Belly [...]
Someone recently shared a rather interesting infographic with me — it’s titled “Your Cell Phone Is Killing You” and makes some pretty interesting points and includes a lot of interesting facts. Take a look:
The Climate Reality Project has put up some excellent billboards essentially in response to the horrible Heartland Institute billboards that cost the organization numerous sponsors and the little respect it had. The Climate Reality Project’s billboards will be put up all around the area of the Heartland Institute’s upcoming climate change conference, too. [...]
In this guest post below, Juanita Constible of The Climate Reality Project shares some pretty stupendous news with us. New national standards for science in K-12 schools include the topic of climate change. Here’s more from Juanita:
As a scientist, I know how important it is for our kids to get [...]
Ari Jokimäki recently published one of his regular roundups of climate science research news. Since you probably haven’t seen many (or any) of these stories in the mainstream media, I’m reposting the roundup here in full. The post is from AGW Observer (via Skeptical Science). Enjoy!

NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center just released preliminary April 2012 temperature and weather statistics this week. As noted in the title, it was the 5th warmest April on record globally and land temperatures were the second warmest on record, according to NOAA.
In addition, it was “the 326th consecutive month with [...]
You would expect that the Discovery Channel would get the story straight on global warming and climate change, wouldn’t you? Well, it did, overseas, but when bringing its Frozen Planet episode “On Thin Ice” to the US, it decides to edit out mention of human-caused global warming.
“The show’s producer told the New York Timesshe didn’t want [...]
This is a pretty astounding stat from this year’s National Bike to Work Day — 75% of traffic on San Francisco’s Market Street was bikes that day, according to a traffic count from San Francisco’s organizers. Here’s a graphic from the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition:
The League of American Bicyclists has a [...]
The thing about the Republican party today, Republican leaders at least, is that they say anything they want, even if it’s completely divorced from reality, to try to win over voters. Heck, they even make claims completely divorced from their own policies and votes.
The latest (I think.., though, perhaps there’s [...]
Here’s one more huge repost of the day. This one comes from the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology via (Climate Progress). Quick summary? Humans are warming the Earth. Yeah, we knew that, but scientists have just added the 10,000th piece of evidence (figuratively speaking) with a study on [...]
Joe Romm has a wonderful series going on the massive (seriously massive) fallout from the Heartland Institute’s recent (and ongoing) stint equating people who understand climate change is happening to mass murderers. His Day 5 post is, in my humble opinion, a must-read, so I’m reposting it in full here (everything that follows [...]
Obama has done more than any US president in history to combat global warming, but we are still insanely far behind what is needed to avert true catastrophe, and Obama has made a number of statements on the matter that seem to show he doesn’t get it. In response [...]
Creative Week is going on in New York this week and, as part of that, GE is putting on the “Throttle Up” experience. Throttle Up is a large-scale interactive hologram experience focused on the beauty and power of GE’s super-efficient GEnx jet engines.
The holographic experience [...]
Companies are consistently trying to churn out new, green materials to help us save the world (or stop destroying it). However, one material that has been around for ages is already super green — burlap — and it seems to be coming back into fashion a bit.
Burlap is [...]

The Kimberley Coast, located on the north-western edge of Australia, is under significant threat from a boom in liquefied natural gas (LNG) production, as companies swoop on large gas fields off the West Australian coast. The most controversial of these projects, is the Browse Basin development, which involves the [...]
