The rural roads that led to our planet-changing global economy ran through the American South. Acclaimed scholar Bart Elmore explores that region's impact on the interconnected histories of business and ecological change. He uses the histories of five southern firms—Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, Walmart, FedEx and Bank of America—to investigate the environmental impact of our have-it-now, fly-by-night, buy-on-credit global economy.

Drawing on exclusive interviews with company executives, corporate archives and other records, Elmore explores the historical, economic, and ecological conditions that gave rise to these five trailblazing corporations. He then considers what each has become: an essential presence in the daily workings of the global economy and an unmistakable contributor to the reshaping of the world's ecosystems. Even as businesses invest in sustainability initiatives and respond to new calls for corporate responsibility, Elmore shows the limits of their efforts to “green” their operations and offers insights on how governments and activists can push corporations to do better.

This podcast-audiobook discusses the use of Phos-Check considered to be an obsolete, and toxic fire retardant used by the US Forest Service (USFS) despite evidence suggesting its ineffectiveness and environmental harm. 


This information highlights the advocacy for alternative, non-toxic fire retardants that have been shown to be more effective in fire suppression. 


Through interviews and historical context, a complex landscape of policies, legal battles, and industry dynamics surrounding fire retardants is revealed. 


The emphasis is placed on the need for policy changes within the USFS to adopt safer and more efficient firefighting technologies.

Researchers from Japan have successfully made and launched into space the first ever wooden satellite. They believe that timber is a space-grade material that could one day even be used to build houses on Mars. The satellite, Lignosat, is crafted from honoki wood - a kind of magnolia tree - without screws or glue to hold it together.

What's right: first wooden satellite

In this week’s episode, host Margaret Walls talks with Matt Chambers, a researcher at the Institute for Resilient Infrastructure Systems at the University of Georgia, about managing floods with nature-based solutions. Chambers discusses the history of levee systems in the United States, the challenges that the widespread use of levees have presented, and approaches to floodplain management that help restore ecosystems while improving community resilience to flooding. He also discusses the economic analysis that informs floodplain management and the evolution of the US Army Corps of Engineers as a key decisionmaker in the management of US rivers.

Welcome to ‘from the archive’, the IES audio series bringing you environmental science analysis and insights taken from the archive of past articles written by IES members, stakeholders, and staff.

Today’s article was written in February 2023 by Ethny Childs. In the article, Ethny discusses the interlinkages between technology and the environment, and what they mean for the future of environmental science and environmental scientists working with technology.

From the Archive 09 - Technological development and environmental impact

I've been deeply immersed in AI's role in our daily lives, exploring several interconnected themes. My recent focus has been on Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and the environmental impact of AI systems, particularly their carbon footprint. I've been researching methods to evaluate and select AI tools based on their environmental performance metrics, with a special emphasis on developing KPIs for measuring AI-related carbon emissions. Additionally, I've been investigating how to analyze the broader corporate social responsibility (RSE) implications of AI implementation, while also exploring DeepSeek's fine-tuning capabilities for custom AI model development using Python.

Hydro Health, we explore the hidden advantages and disadvantages of hydropower. Join us as we dive into how this renewable energy source can benefit the environment and communities, while also discussing the lesser-known challenges and impacts it can have. Tune in for a balanced look at hydropower's role in our sustainable future. For more details, visit https://h2oglobalnews.com/advantages-and-disadvantages-of-hydropower/.









The Hidden Advantages & Disadvantages of Hydropower

In a world increasingly affected by climate change, pollution, and dwindling natural resources, the call to live more sustainably has never been louder. While the environmental challenges we face can seem overwhelming, the good news is that meaningful change often starts with small, intentional choices made in our everyday lives. Eco-friendly living isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. Even modest changes, when adopted collectively, can create a powerful ripple effect.

Howard DeLaCruz-Bancroft is the developer of the "Virus In the Code of Everything" (The VICE Theory), the book, subtitled “Collecting and Connecting the Dots” and the movie “The Vitruvian Code Project”. 

It offers reasonable, plausible and simplified evidence for why and how this universe exhibits randomness, chaos, and disorder. It offers a scientific explanation for “what is evil?” and how it functions like a computer virus, being a secondary causal agent, initially dependent on a perfectly functioning host.

The VICE Theory addresses how this contamination affects all levels of scientific phenomena and studies to include: biology, chemistry, electromagnetic, physical, mental, emotional, and even societal issues.

It contends that all contamination simulates a viral-like malware function at the quantum level or nanoscopic scale that manifests at the Newtonian level or more plainly put, the visually observable world we see and experience every day while offering a credible solution.

This is a funny, and intelligent but easy to understand explanation that uses computer and science analogies for those who struggle with a purely philosophical or religious explanation for such phenomena beyond the physical and explainable universe.

Have you ever wanted to know how science, computers, philosophy, and faith might be connected? Do you believe that all branches of science to include math, biology, chemistry, electromagnetism, and cosmology should be consistent, compatible and comprehensive? Then this video is for you. 

Such popular movies as The Matrix, Avatar, Avengers, and Star Wars connect with people at various levels of yearning for something beyond their five physical senses. This lecture addresses the possible connections of such yearnings to actual observable and measurable phenomena.

Put on your helmets, so when your mind is blown, you can keep all those important pieces intact for reassembly later. Lol
