Squids perishing in increasing numbers.
Last week, over 150 of the marine animals were discovered washed up on beaches on the west coast of Vancouver Island, Canada. They have also been sighted lifeless on the shores of Japan, along the northern US Pacific coast from California to Alaska, and on the South American coast from Peru to Chile.

Scientists from the Canadian environmental charity Raincoast Education Society report that these new fatalities may be linked to climate change, as young squid migrate further north and encounter unexpected currents that lead to their stranding.

The events are also increasing in frequency, dozens more that were found in southern California just three weeks ago.

Our appreciation, Canadian scientists and Raincoast Education Society for these observations that illustrate the unmistakeable distress of our marine co-inhabitants.

Let us all turn to the compassionate way of living – the veg diet – to restore the comfort of their natural habitat,
which is also the beauty of our Earth. Saddened by the tragedies of global warming, Supreme Master Ching Hai has often conveyed her wisdom to help alleviate the planetary crisis, as in this March 2009 Juice Fast for Peace videoconference in California, USA.

UK develops carbon absorbing cement.
Originally launched from Imperial College London, the young British company Novacem has now raised US$1.7 million to develop its carbon-absorbing cement to reduce CO2 emitted by the cement industry, which accounts for approximately 5 percent of global carbon emissions.

The material, which is made from magnesium silicates, is designed to absorb more CO2 than it emits over time, with the company estimating that for every ton of conventional cement replaced by Novacem, three-quarters of a ton of CO2 is saved.

Kudos Novacem, for your commitment to this green industry transformation! We look forward to seeing such an Earth-beneficial technology available for all.

French researchers find that ozone depletion and higher atmospheric greenhouse gases create winds across the southern oceans, bringing up CO2 saturated waters and making it more difficult for the ocean to store CO2.
