(Natural News) The environment is spreading around 60 percent fewer seeds because the animals and pollinators that plants rely on are all dying. Seed dispersal is an important cog in ecological systems all over the world. Plants have quite literally evolved strategies to spread their seeds away from the parent plant. Some have figured out […]

(Natural News) John V. Lindsay East River Park in Manhattan’s Lower East Side just lost 1,000 trees thanks to climate fanatics who insisted that the greenery be cut down with chainsaws in order to protect the planet from global warming. More than 70 species of mature trees at the popular 46-acre park were bulldozed, including […]

(Natural News) In the latest eco-lunacy coming from the lamestream media, CNN is now calling for healthy trees to be cut down and buried in mass graves in order to save the planet. (It’s true. Link below.) This is claimed to be a way to reduce CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, even though CO2 is […]

(Natural News) Trees are a prepper’s best friend in a survival situation. If you find yourself with very limited resources, you can make the most of trees by using their bark for food or tinder, their branches for fire and their sap for wound dressings. Listed below are seven trees that are particularly useful in survival […]

(Natural News) A team led by University of Washington (UW) researchers found that tropical plants with thick leaves respond very well to high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide. In a study published in the journal Global Geobiochemical Cycles, the researchers detailed how multiple changes in the plants’ leaves preserve the ability of tropical forests to absorb carbon dioxide from the […]

(Natural News) Permaculture, a portmanteau of “permanent agriculture,” is a method of gardening that enables plants to take care of each other and of the garden as a whole. In a permaculture garden, each plant has a specific purpose. Some plants are used exclusively for food. Others are planted for medicine. Some plants are even used […]

(Natural News) Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is at a record high. But it’s not as bad as it sounds. It’s actually great for trees and forests, as shown by a recent study led by the nonprofit conservation group World Wide Fund (WWF). The study, which is part of the WWF’s Trillion Trees project, found that an area of […]

(Natural News) Raising lambs in the same area where solar panels are installed increases farmland’s ability to support crops and livestock. This is the conclusion of Oregon State University researchers after comparing pastures covered in solar panels with “traditional” open pastures. The researchers detailed their findings in a paper published in the journal Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems. […]

(Natural News) Cooperation Humboldt, a transition initiative in Humboldt County in California, is providing mini-gardens for free to help communities in the state’s North Coast become self-sufficient and achieve food independence. The organization initially provided free lawn conversions but decided to shift its focus later on. Tamara McFarland, a leader within the cooperation, was concerned that the lawn conversion project failed to reach individuals who […]

(Natural News) A new study suggests that the asteroid that wiped out dinosaurs likely gave rise to the Amazon rainforest in South America. Published April 1 in the journal Science, the study also posits that the same asteroid created all of the Americas’ tropical rainforests. Around 66 million years ago, a seven-mile-wide meteor struck what is now the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Named […]
