Los sitios pornográficos quieren tu video casero para salvar el planeta

Escrito por Patrick Metzger , retomado de Greendaily.com

Una pareja exhibicionista noruega han tomado muy literalmente el término "ambientalistas radicales". Este par opera un sitio web llamado ****ForForest.com (advertencia: exremadamente NSFW) que hacen que el promocional de PETA sobre la desnudez parezca una inocente obra de algún colegio de Oklahoma.

Leona Johanson y Tommy Hol Ellingsen alcanzaron una fama moderada cuando despertaron "conciencia", explorando su cuerpo en escena frente a 5000 Noruegos fanáticos de la buena música en un festival efectuado el año 2005. Posteriormente haciendo algo que le gusta mucho a la gente que disfruta de ver a otros teniendo sexo; así es, abrieron un sitio web que combina la desnudez laciva con un fuerte mensaje ambientalista.

En Francia un impuesto único por emisión de contaminantes

Escrito por Shawn Schuster, retomado de Greendaily.com

En Francia un impuesto único por emisión de contaminantes podría convertirse en un pago anual.

Como parte de su "bonus malus", el sistema de impuestos y recompensas sobre vehículos en Francia, el gobierno Francés está buscando transformar el impuesto único sobre automoviles contaminantes, por un impuesto anual que será pagado durante toda la vida útil del vehículo. Esto parece tener mucho sentido si consideramos que los autos más viejos son los que más contaminación podrían producir.

¿En Estados Unidos y los países latinos será una buena medida ésta?

Ashley Dupré la chica de 'Spitzer' no se cansa del escándalo

No cabe duda que las mujeres son un hueso duro de roer y en ocasiones de digerir, tal cuál le pasó al ex gobernador de Nueva York, Eliot Spitzer, quien tuvo que dejar el cargo luego de darse a conocer los encuentros que mantenía con una prostituta, Ashle y Dupré.

Bueno pues la historia continúa y no precisamente con el ex gobernador, más bien con ella, ya que hace poco se dio a conocer en la red un video 'súper erótico' y 'secreto' de ella.

Los edificios de oficinas ecológicos representan menos días de enfermedad

por Kelly Leahy, escrito en Greendaily.com

Una compañera de trabajo solía quejarse de que las luces y el aire en nuestras oficinas en un edificio demasiado alto la enfermaron. Yo siempre creí que el ambiente de trabajo hacía más estragos en la gente que el edificio en si. Resulta, sin embargo que si se piensa un poco más seriamente en un edificio ecológico podrían disminuír los días de enfermedad en los empleados.

El mercurio usado para rellenar cavidades dentales puede tener efectos tóxicos

Sobre todo en el cerebro de los niños...

por Patricia Mayville-Cox, escrito en Greendaily.com

Reguladores de Estados Unidos han cedido y admitido que el mercurio en los parches dentales puede y de hecho tiene efectos tóxicos en el producto de las mujeres embarazadas y en los niños pequeños. La FDA ha aceptado poner una advertencia en su website para informar a los consumidores acerca de esos peligros en los cerebros en desarrollo. Es parte de la resolución de un litigio emprendido por un colectivo de grupos ambientalistas, consumidores y oficiales del estado.

¿Las aerolíneas cobrarán por el peso corporal?

por Josh Loposer, escrito en Greendaily.com

Con los precios del petroleo elevándose --aumentaron 10 dólares en los útimos días-- las compañías aéreas están usando todo tipo de medios ridículos para tratar de hacerle frente al alza de combustible que se ha triplicado desde el año 2000.

Delta Airlines ya está haciendo cargos de 25 dólares por reservaciones telefónicas y American Airlines está en proceso de lanzar un plan intensamente impopular para hacer cargos de 15 dólares por bolsa revisada, Ahora han circulado rumores en torno a que las aerolíneas quieren comenzar a cobrar cargos a los usuarios basados en su peso.

Just an hour's drive from the beaches of Tel Aviv and its scantily-clad sunbathers, men covered in long black coats and wheel-sized fur hats sway in prayer before Judaism's holiest site in Jerusalem. The contrast highlights the challenges Israel has faced over the past 60 years trying to prevent a major collision of the secular and religious forces that have shaped the Jewish state.

El proyecto de un adolescente podría eliminar el uso del plástico

Mientras el resto de nosotros observa el problema, quejándose de cuantas bolsas de plástico se encuentran en los vertederos de basura, un niño de 16 años actuó e hizo algo al respecto.

Para su proyecto de ciencia (es secundaria: una época donde muchos de nosotros nos sentabamos a fumar y escuchar la música que nuestros padres desaprobaban) Daniel Burd de Waterloo, Ontario quería aislar los microorganismos que pueden destruir las bolsas de plástico y así poder entender el proceso.
