It's one of the only plants in the world which can actually take salty water through its system, and it takes the salt out of the water and puts it into a couple of sacrifice leaves on the plant, and then the rest of the plant can use the pure water or cleaner water and it enables it to grow on.

As it uses lowers the water, the natural rainfall washes the salt back out of the soil, and hence improves the land dramatically.




We need to grow this plant across the world to help reduce salinity everywhere it occurs.

The Water Purifying Pollution Magnet. A Work Of Sheer Genius

Eighty-two thousand people die from cancer in Bangladesh every year, many due to arsenic poisoning.

But building upon her discovery of a way to get rust nanoparticles to bind to arsenic, Vicki Colvin has invented a new, astonishingly easy way to clean the water supply:

Sauté a teaspoon of rust in a mixture of oil and lye, which breaks down the rust into nano-sized pieces. Retrieve the rust particles with a household magnet. Then immerse the rust-covered magnet into a pot of contaminated water. Pull out the arsenic.

The system is up to a hundred times more efficient than existing methods, and requires no electricity or manufacturing infrastructure, so even the poorest of villagers can use it.

Feb 29, 2008
Scientists have invented a plastic solar cell that can turn the sun's power into electrical energy, even on a cloudy day.

The plastic material uses nanotechnology and contains the first solar cells able to harness the sun's invisible, infrared rays.

The breakthrough has led theorists to predict that plastic solar cells could one day become five times more efficient than current solar cell technology. (Read More?)

Jan 10, 2008
A customs vessel has left Western Australia on a mission to monitor Japanese whaling in the Southern Ocean, the federal government says

The government has said the Oceanic Viking would spend 20 days gathering video and photographic evidence for a potential international court case against Japanese whaling.

Foreign Minister Stephen Smith on Monday said all decisions about the voyage concerned maximising its potential during the 20 days of activity.

He also said the mission would be “coordinated” with several days of aerial surveillance.

Why The Japanese President Should Stop The Whaling Now
bookmark this at :: del.icio.us :: Digg it
I remember the last time the Japanese were directing our attention with the shock of " Scientific Whaling", and I created a question for the then opposition for the Howard Government.

It went like this " Will the honorable minister tell us how many things the Japanese have slipped by us, while their "scientific whaling" continues."

The retort to any number given, would of course be:

" Oh, you only noticed that many.....?"

Like many asian races, the Japanese are very thoughtful, intelligent and resourceful partner in creating a better future.

And it is with this in mind, that I kindly ask you if you could find a more humane way to distract our attention. Thank you.

Creating Climate Change Solutions At Murdoch

Experiments allow scientists to gather vital data to show how changes in large scale land use could actually stimulate rain clouds.So far the tests have revealed remarkable pictures of blue sky over cleared farmlands on one side of the rabbit proof fence while on the other convective cloud formed over native bushland.

“The native plants are darker and have their stomata closed so more energy goes in but they don’t evaporate as much water,” Professor Lyons said.

The increased turbulence above the native vegetation also means there’s sufficient convection to lift the moisture high enough to form clouds.

Professor Lyons said one way to bring clouds back over the agricultural land could be to plant native vegetation over large areas around farmlands.
