I am the Lorax

A young girl living wild and free among the mess of the world, hoping to leave the world a better place than she found it and to show others the beauty of what Mother Nature has brought to her. "The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane" ~Marcus Aurelius 121 AD ~180 AD Michigan Tech Greek Life <3

Worrying is carrying tomorrow’s load with today’s strength–carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn’t empty tomorrow of it’s sorrow, it empties today of it’s strength.

Students design world’s first biobased bridge

Avans University

A group of students from Avans University, the Netherlands, have created a test version of a pedestrian bridge made entirely of biocomposite materials.

The students constructed the bridge from flax and hemp fibres bound with a bioresin and around a core of PLA foam. The design measures 14 metres and spans the River Dommel on the grounds of TU Eindhoven. The work is the result of the 3TU research project named Lighthouse.

The team are now testing a number of vacuum-injection production methods. The process involves the use of a vacuum to facilitate resin flow into a flax and hemp fibre layup contained within a mould tool covered by a vacuum bag. After the impregnation occurs, the composite part is allowed to cure at room temperature, with an optional post cure sometimes carried out.

The team have also investigated the material efficiency of the design including the structural integrity of the layer thicknesses, strength of adhesive points, paints, the development of heat in the biobased curing resin and the speed of the vacuum-injection. The application and approval process has been begun and the students hope the production of the footbridge is a significant step closer to reality.

For the first time since 1941, anthrax has hit Western Siberia, with 1,500 reindeer dying and 13 Yamal nomads being hospitalized including 4 children.

This is because unusually high temperatures (it’s 10 degrees Fahrenheit higher than normal) have melted permafrost containing the corpse of a reindeer that died of the bacteria 75 years ago.

Anthrax goes dormant when frozen, turning into a spore that reanimates when the temperature rises. Scientists estimate it can survive in this state for a minimum of 100 years.

In Siberia, dozens of herders have been relocated, a quarantine is in place and a state of emergency has been declared by the mayor.

This renews concerns that ancient viruses and bacteria could once again pose a threat, as the earth warms.

In 2014 scientists discovered that a Siberian virus, pithovirus sibericum, which lay dormant in permafrost for 30,000 years, became infectious again once thawed.

this is not a consequence of global warming i had ever envisioned but now it’s the scariest thing i’ve ever heard
