The sky is burning, the earth is melting
Most of us know that something called the greenhouse
effect plays a major role in global warming, but do we know
how it does this? In the short version: greenhouse gases trap
the sun’s radiation, preventing the release of the sun’s
heat into space and thus warming earth’s atmosphere. [More] |
Oaks in California could shring by more
than 50 percent because of the greenhouse effect.

Earth
Talk: Sea Sponges
Dear EarthTalk: Is it true that
some sponges used for cleaning and bathing are real sea sponges?
If so,
are they endangered by our using them? Which are more eco-friendly,
real, or synthetic? —Lin Heidt, Canmore, Alberta [More] |

OI's Nutritional
Bio-Chemistry Laboratory
“You
are what you eat.” This is true for fish and shrimp as
well as the people who eat them. However, knowing what foods
contain requires scientific analysis. The staff of OI’s
Nutritional Biochemistry Laboratory, Dr. Zhi Yong Ju and Ms.
Lytha Conquest, use high-tech equipment, such as the High Performance
Liquid Chromatograph and the Gas Chromatograph, to measure
the nutritional components of fish and shrimp grown at OI,
as well as the food they eat. [More] |
