In a recently published study, we show that Cuban rivers are cleaner than the mighty Mississippi. Why?

We play our loud music, engage in all sorts of play designed through technology simply to distract us from participating in life. Hordes of sexual images are used not only to make us desirous of commercial products but also to keep us from harnessing that energy for spiritual use. Is music bad? No. Is play bad? No. Is sex bad? No. These pursuits are injurious when we participate in them without a sense of compassion.

Consumerism in the industrial world is now both a way of life and an addiction. Third World countries are now entering global markets and trying to become First World countries by destroying their ecosystems and wild species as they emulate the industrial and consumer patterns of the ecologically destructive unsustainable First World.

On her thirtieth birthday, two years after her marriage, the woman fell in love. So powerful was the experience that she felt like she had walked through a veil into radiant Beauty. 

The Earth is mainly a closed loop. What's here today was generally here yesterday. So that cup of tea you're drinking could once have been Cleopatra's bathwater! But if Cleopatra were to bathe in the Earth's waters today, her skin would crawl and palace heads would roll.

A pause has been forced on urban life. Quiet roads, empty skies, deserted high streets and parks, closed cinemas, cafés and museums – a break in the spending and work frenzy so familiar to us all.

Our global civilization may be doubting its mastery of the Earth as we temporarily close the shutters on many of our societies because of COVID-19.

If you live in the US or Australia, you’re likely to know about PFAS (or perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances).

As environmental crises and the urgency to create ecological sustainability escalate, so does the importance of ecological economics.

Our society has evolved so much, can we still say that we are part of Nature? If not, should we worry – and what should we do about it?

It’s 2035, and you’re going to a movie. As you walk out the door, you reach for your phone instead of the car keys because you don’t have a car. Instead, you’ve ordered your ride to come to you.

For decades land use regulation across the U.S. has emphasized single-family houses on large lots.

First off, plastic is not evil: it’s flexible, durable, waterproof and cheap. The issue is the way we dispose of it.

On average, each Canadian produces 720 kilograms of municipal waste — more than the per capita output in the United States and double what is produced in Japan. And over the holidays, our waste volumes double.

Think about the way plastic pollution has been reported in recent years and you’re probably picturing plastic packaging, films and microfibres.

Once a sleepy stretch of cane fields and plantation houses, Louisiana’s river corridor has been remade over the past century into a petrochemical powerhouse.

Leading thinkers in environmental economics and conservation are asking a pressing question. Why are we ignoring the destruction of the living world?

More than 100 million people could die immediately if India and Pakistan wage a nuclear war, followed by global mass starvation, according to a new study.

India’s ambitious target of 450 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity by 2030 could go even further, say three economists.

It took evolution 3 or 4 billion years to produce Homo sapiens. If the climate had completely failed just once in that time then evolution would have come to a crashing halt and we would not be here now.
