Biohacking: The next great wave of innovation

I’ve been following synthetic biology for the past year or so, and we’re about to see some big changes. Synthetic bio seems to be now where the computer industry was in the late 1970s: still nascent, but about to explode. The hacker culture that drove the development of the personal computer, and that continues to drive technical progress, is forming anew among biohackers.

Diet for a Hot Planet by Anna Lappé

Uploaded by ablappe on Apr 13, 2010

“As Anna Lappé reveals in this important book, we must be conscious of what we eat – not only for our own health, but for the health of the planet. When it comes to climate change, junk food may prove even more destructive than S.U.V.s. Lappé’s message is timely and empowering.” – Eric Schlosser, Fast Food Nation

Diet for a Hot Planet
by Anna Lappé
foreword by Bill McKibben
Bloomsbury, April 1 2010

The era of climate-change deniers may (almost) be behind us, but a new battle has just begun. As we grapple with global warming, we will face increasing controversies over which industries are most responsible for the greenhouse gases of most concern and which actions and policies will most help us mitigate the crisis.

In these heated debates, the food industry hasso farmanaged to stay out of the climate-change hot seat. Most of us dont think about our lunch when we think about global warming.

In Diet for a Hot Planet, Anna plunge into the heart of this eras newest food fight with a simple message: if we are serious about addressing climate change, we have to talk about food.

Nigeria oil spills: Dutch case against Shell to begin
A man paddling a canoe in Rivers state, Nigeria The Niger Delta has few major roads and many villages lack electricity and clean water
Oil giant Shell is due to appear in a Dutch court to face charges of polluting Nigerian villages in the Niger Delta region.
The case is being brought by four Nigerian farmers and the Dutch branch of campaigners Friends of the Earth.
It is the first time a Dutch multinational is being put on trial in a civil court at home in connection with damage caused abroad.
Shell insists it has been unable to clean up the spills due to insecurity.
The Anglo-Dutch firm also says that more than half of the leaks are caused by theft and sabotage.
