Autoa muutetaan biodiesel-käyttöiseksi
15.11.2006 Maan ystävät vaatii Nestettä luopumaan palmuöljystä energiaratkaisuna. Neste Oil suunnittelee käyttävänsä palmuöljyä biodieselinsä pääasiallisena raaka-aineena, kun sen Porvoon jalostamo aloittaa toimintansa 2007. Tänään julkistettu Finnwatchin raportti "Palmuöljystä biopolttoainetta" osoittaa, ettei palmuöljyn energiakäyttö voi olla kestävällä pohjalla.

06.11.2006 Tieteilijöiden mukaan ilmastonmuutos on tosiasia. YK:n ilmastonmuutoskonferenssissa käsitellään päästöjen vähentämistä ja ilmastonmuutokseen sopeutumista. Ilmastonmuutoksen vaikutukset alkavat olla selvästi nähtävissä. Tieteilijöiden mukaan ilmaston lämpeneminen on jo aiheuttanut aikaisempaa enemmän tulvia, kuivuuskausia, hurrikaaneja ja metsäpaloja.

Aurinkokeitin kenialaisella pakolaisleirillä.
06.11.2006 Keitin, joka kypsentää ruuan ilman tulta, pelkän auringonvalon avulla, ällistyttää yhä naisia Kenian maaseudulla. Laitteella on heidän mielestään lukuisia etuja, mutta silti se herättää myös ennakkoluuloja. Ihmelaite syntyy vaikka pahvilaatikosta, jonka sisäseinät vuorataan alumiinifoliolla.
