This is a good one from the Netherlands about their roads, there was a report a few month back as well about how well a test had gone with a few solar cycle paths that have been put in around Amsterdam that is worth a read as well if you can find it.

This one comes with an amusing title but if you read the article you'll see that it makes a lot of sense and with the human population forever rising it's time to start thinking about what that means. The earths human carrying capacity (the number of humans it can support) is estimated to be around 10 billion. This is a number we are rapidly approaching, and as we draw closer to it more and more damage is being done to the earth. http://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/could-pill-save-polar-bear
The final article is something I'm extremely interested in as it relates to amphibians but this knowledge could be spread across to help other extinct species. It's also pretty cool as I was in Newcastle University while a little bit of this work was going on.
