Hi Greenzoners! Any one of you is into astronomy? 😉

A planet that could sustain life was just discovered. It’s called HD 40307G and is located in a “habitable zone” – that is in area, where the planet is not too close or too far from its sun, so that liquid water can exist.

Super-Earth

Do you know any other interesting street art works? 😉

All of you have probably seen an article about shark attacking humans, a picture showing aggressive shark or at least watched Jaws by Steven Spielberg. ;)|

orangutan
Recently orangutan’s populaion on Sumatra island (south-east Asia) have undergone significant decline. For now there’s only 6,600 individuals left and orangutans are now endangered species. The reason of this reduction is, as it often occured, massive deforestation of tropical areas. (more…)

Hello Greenzoners, I hope you are having good day in which we greet you with new Eco News. 😉

mountain meadow

Mountain meadows are slowly declining and being destroyed in the Northern Pacific areas. Once huge tracts of green grass and  rare, wild flowers, now they are being dominated by spreading trees and other thick and territorialy invasive plant species. The reason behind this is progressing global warming and rising temperature (more…)

Did you know: phytoplankton

November 2nd, 2012

…wondering what is this? 😉

phyoplankton

It’s a phytoplankton, a small underwater organism that can absorb the excessive amounts of CO2 in atmosphere.
Because of global warming and rising seas’ temperatures, their population is decreasting.
