Fairview Park’s plan to move its service garage to a plot of land off Mastick Road isn’t winning fans fast. The property in question sits on shaky ground—literally. Experts warn the soil needs major fixes before any building can go up, and wetlands cover part of the site. That means months of red ta
A warning has gone out about harmful blue-green algae in a stretch of the Caloosahatchee River near the Sebastian Canal. Tiny bacteria that normally live in Florida’s freshwater have multiplied rapidly, creating visible blooms that can produce toxins. These blooms often look like thick green paint,
The ocean isn’t just a big body of water—it’s a lifeline we often overlook. A free public talk in Lancaster plans to highlight how fast the ocean is changing and why that should matter to everyone. Scheduled for May 12, 2026, at Lancaster University, the event will feature a marine biologist sharing
A new study brings together more than 20 scientists from 13 countries to examine how certain male behaviours affect the planet. The research looks at patterns of consumption, travel and leisure that are linked to higher carbon footprints. The paper argues that the link between masculinity and clima
The Penobscot River runs through the heart of a nation that has watched it flow for millennia. Its banks have taught people how to fish, gather, and live in harmony with the land. In spring, the river awakens as ice melts and water rushes faster. The people call this time “People of the Dawn”
This grass isn’t just sitting around waiting to die—it’s actively planning its next move. Egyptian crowfoot grass, a tough C4 weed, doesn’t play fair with crops like rice or sugarcane. Scientists tested how this plant handles tough conditions like temperature swings, salty soil, and dry spells. Unde
AI is often sold as a magical solution—fast answers, easy profits, and endless possibilities. But that shiny image hides a messy truth. Behind the scenes, giant data centers hum with energy use that rivals small cities. They gobble up water like it’s unlimited, even as local supplies dry up. And the
Starting next month, Holyoke will stop using poison to control rats on city property. The City Council voted unanimously to ban a group of strong rodenticides called second-generation anticoagulants. The move follows concerns about how these chemicals affect more than just rats—they can harm pets, b
Kids laugh more than adults, but keeping them focused for an hour isn’t child’s play. At the Chocolate Church Arts Center, professional performer Jack Golden turned that challenge into a masterclass for elementary students. Instead of another forgettable school trip, the kids got a high-energy show
Kevin O’Leary says he is the only data‑center builder who studied environmental science. He argues that criticism of his Utah AI project is too harsh, even though people worry about gas use, water needs and local wildlife. The project will cover 40, 000 acres in Box Elder County and could use up
