Bundanoon bans bottled water
The Australian town of Bundanoon has raised the bar of ecological wisdom by voting to ban bottled water. Why? A tremendous amount of resources goes into bottled water; there’s the extraction, the packaging and then the transport. In many cases there’s the litter afterwards too.
In many countries the health quality standards of tap water are stricter than bottled water ones. For example, in the UK the quality of water form the tap is held to a higher standard than from the bottle. The reason is simple; problems with the mains supply are a horror to fix, effect thousands of people and are best detected and prevented early. Bottled water is easier to deal with.
Bundanoon is a small town with less than 2,500 in population but perhaps this is the starting moving in a more popular trend.

The body has been identified as Imani Joyner due to a bracelet on her wrist. Imani died of pneumonia in 2007. She was buried in Stamford in April 2007.

Sheep in Scotland are being shrunk by global warming
Soay sheep have lived on the island of Hirta on the western coast of Scotland for a millennium. As a breed of cheep they’re smaller than the average sheep however research from the Imperial College in London suggests they’re getting smaller.
Very often natural selection favours larger sheep. The odds of the survival go up as the body size increases as the extra reserves of fat allow the sheep to survive through the winter.
In Hirta, however, climate change has been making winters shorter and milder. This is allowing generation after generation of sheep to spend more time grazing and less time dependant on the fat reserves.
In the past only the larger lambs would survive; having reached the size necessary to survive the winter. These days even the smaller lambs will survive the winter.

If the French Government is found guilty then they may be fined as much as €17,000,000 (which is about €68,000 for each hamster).
The Commission had warned the French on a number of occasions that they were not taking sufficient steps to protect the hamsters’ natural environment. Now under the directives for the preservation of wildlife they’re pulling the French Government into Court.
Previously the French had attempted to protect the hamster by encouraging farmers to grow what or lucerne for the hamsters habitat. Efforts to protect the hamsters failed and the population dropped from 500 to 250 in just a matter of years.
