On Lake Erie, getting rid of problem algae starts with giving it less food
On a warm late-summer evening, a small speedboat motored across a pea-green stretch of Lake Erie past a beach where a child sat splashing and a pair of newlyweds waded for a portrait photographer. On the sand, unseen or ignored, bright red signs warn.....»»
Gone in a flash: Lake Mohave"s toxic algae bloom may soon let up
Riley Rackliffe follows the stinky green blobs as they travel across Lake Mohave. The aquatic biologist leads a two-man team for the National Park Service, dipping a long stick into the reservoir's problem areas and sending off samples to the Souther.....»»
Teslas don"t work as green squad cars, California police say
As an increasing number of cities in California require departments to buy zero-emission vehicles, police say the Teslas they're being put in make their jobs harder......»»
Five surprising ways that trees help prevent flooding
Think of flood prevention and you might imagine huge concrete dams, levees or the shiny Thames barrier. But some of the most powerful tools for reducing flood risk are far more natural and widely recognizable: woodlands and green spaces. Trees offer.....»»
Tech can help kids connect with nature and go outdoors—here are tips to make it work
Young children's lives are increasingly spent indoors. They have less access to green spaces, their parents are concerned about safety, and there's also the draw of digital entertainment. This shift away from the natural world has been evocatively na.....»»
