"Select a country to view its environmental sustainability and social performance relative to the "safe and just space" framework and see how it compares with other countries. Blue wedges show social performance relative to a threshold associated with meeting basic needs (blue circle), green wedges show resource use relative to a biophysical boundary associated with sustainability (green circle), while grey wedges show indicators with missing data. Wedges with a dashed edge extend beyond the chart area. Ideally a country would have blue wedges that reach the social threshold and green wedges within the biophysical boundary. See the tables below for country-specific details."

"Evaporative coolers have been known to purveyors of low-cost, sustainable technologies for years. Without the need for electricity, these cold containers have kept produce fresh from farms to tables, protecting against post-harvest losses in the field and food spoilage in hot pantries worldwide. Now the concept has been applied to air conditioning. Manoj Patel Design Studio in Vadodara, Gujarat (India) has built evaporative air conditioners that can cool a room for days on a single tank of water. The studio designs new products from recycled materials, and they built their air conditioners from ceramics and stone, integrating them with potted plants. By filling rows of ceramic tubes with water, the prototypes maximize their surface area for optimal evaporation while retaining a small footprint. ..."

"El físico Keith Enevoldsen -que al parecer es un amante de la tipografía Comic Sans- ha creado una tabla periódica interactiva que ilustra para qué usamos cada uno de los elementos químicos en el mundo real. Pasa el ratón por encima de algún elemento y descubre sus aplicaciones, una breve descripción y una explicación del grupo al que pertenece. También puedes comprarla a tamaño póster o descargártela en PDF para imprimirla tú mismo. Será como volver a la secundaria, pero con algo más de contexto. Lástima que no esté en español."
