This initiates a chain of destruction that can include more logging, mining, slash-and-burn clearing for cattle grazing and conversion for chemical-intensive industrial agriculture. Most of the resultant products are exported to northern industrialized countries.]]> http://susty.com/tropical-deforestation-basics-problem-solution-get-your-fix-environment-eco-friendly-green-design/feed/ 0 http://susty.com/great-white-sharks-tagged-massachusetts-cape-cod-first/ http://susty.com/great-white-sharks-tagged-massachusetts-cape-cod-first/#comments Sat, 05 Sep 2009 23:34:43 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=7625 http://susty.com/great-white-sharks-tagged-massachusetts-cape-cod-first/feed/ 0 http://susty.com/daily-show-water-crisis-book-unquenchable-author-robert-glennon-video/ http://susty.com/daily-show-water-crisis-book-unquenchable-author-robert-glennon-video/#comments Wed, 22 Jul 2009 03:09:52 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=7184 Unquenchable: America's Water Crisis and What To Do About It. While Stewart sees the realities of our water sitch as a bit of a revelation, Glennon points out what many have known for a while: all of the water used in our homes is potable, but only ten percent is used for drinking and cooking.

The occasion was a recent screening of the film Sea Ghosts which uses the Beluga whales as the "canary in the coal mine" to conveying the environmental consequences that await we humans. Ironically Sea Ghosts was on the same night that the Star Trek movie rebooted its space opera franchise, so we asked Fabien to comment on the disproportionate amount of research dollars being apportioned to space exploration over Earth's oceans. He also touches on some basic concepts for how our everyday actions wind up contributing to the pollution of our oceans and how that comes back to haunt us on our dinner plates. ]]> http://susty.com/fabien-cousteau-ocean-exploration-industry-pollution-toxic-chemicals-beluga-whale-consumer-pbs-video/feed/ 4 http://susty.com/conservation-international-screening-movie-home-yann-arthus-bertrand-laura-bowling-ci-nyc-video/ http://susty.com/conservation-international-screening-movie-home-yann-arthus-bertrand-laura-bowling-ci-nyc-video/#comments Wed, 03 Jun 2009 05:56:18 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=6582 Earth From Above) epic film Home held today at the Florence Gould Theater in mid-town Manhattan, we chatted with Conservation International's Head of Marketing and Public Relations Laura Bowling.]]> http://susty.com/conservation-international-screening-movie-home-yann-arthus-bertrand-laura-bowling-ci-nyc-video/feed/ 0 http://susty.com/10-fantastic-species-discovered-last-year/ http://susty.com/10-fantastic-species-discovered-last-year/#comments Wed, 27 May 2009 00:05:25 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=6509 http://susty.com/10-fantastic-species-discovered-last-year/feed/ 0 http://susty.com/galapagos-sea-lions-amazing-slow-motion-video/ http://susty.com/galapagos-sea-lions-amazing-slow-motion-video/#comments Tue, 19 May 2009 16:44:09 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=6461 Wired, BBC footage of underwater video and Galapagos sea lions diving in super slo-motion.]]> http://susty.com/galapagos-sea-lions-amazing-slow-motion-video/feed/ 2 http://susty.com/water-proof-high-speed-cameras-reveal-world-inside-time-tube-video/ http://susty.com/water-proof-high-speed-cameras-reveal-world-inside-time-tube-video/#comments Tue, 19 May 2009 04:29:43 +0000 by Michele LaTorre, Long Beach, NY USA http://susty.com/?p=6442 land-locked high-speed cameras super-charging some nature videography on the Discovery show Time Warp, a super-cool super-slo-mo underwater camera developed by German scientist Rudi Deisel was used to shoot a teaser for the BBC’s upcoming South Pacific series.
