Millions of tons of household rubbish painstakingly sorted by families for recycling is being dumped abroad. Whitehall has admitted that waste from recycling bins is being shipped to countries including China, India and Indonesia, where much of it ends up in landfill. In papers published by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, ministers concede that what happens to the 12million tons of 'green' waste shipped abroad every year is largely beyond their control.

Elevated levels of nitrogen dioxide pop out over certain shipping lanes in observations made by the Aura satellite between 2005-2012. The signal was the strongest over the northeastern Indian Ocean. Via Seth Dixon, Mark Slusher, W H Unsell

As revealed in the study of quantum physics, the world around us is comprised of energy. It is not something we can touch or see with our human eyes. Yet, energy patterns and vibrations surrounding us and moving through us have a profound effect on our physical bodies. Author Daniel Reid, who has written numerous books and magazine articles on various aspects of Asian self-health and self-healing practices, offers an interesting perspective in his article Electro-magnetic Energy Pollution, which discusses the effects that electromagnetic energy pollution has on our energetic and physical bodies: Via Dr Nobody Delete the scoop?

An amazing 13-second NASA animation depicting how the globe has warmed during the period of 1950 to 2012.
From our friends at NASA comes this amazing 13-second animation that depicts how temperatures around the globe have warmed since 1950. You’ll note an acceleration of the temperature trend in the late 1970s as greenhouse gas emissions from energy production increased worldwide and clean air laws reduced emissions of pollutants that had a cooling effect on the climate, and thus were masking some of the global warming signal.
The data come from NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York (GISS), which monitors global surface temperatures. As NASA notes, “All 10 of the warmest years in the GISS analysis have occurred since 1998, continuing a trend of temperatures well above the mid-20th century average.
