Yes, we have problems. Some are monumental. But we also have people all over the world working to solve these problems. They're out and about and in laboratories doing research, learning what's wrong with the environment and how to fix it. They're scientists and technologists and everyday people on a mission. The articles in this blog focus on the discoveries and inventions that provide a better way to live and improve the quality of life for all inhabitants. The content is good news for Planet Earth.

I just had to grab this link and share it.
