Plantwatch: Dunes – the battle to save the UK’s sandscapes
A huge conservation project is under way to protect these precious and threatened habitatsDunes are more than just piles of sand blocking the way to a beach.

There's Something (Shell) Fishy About This Seafood-Inspired Beer
A brewery in southwest England has given one of its beers a real shellfish twist.
The Wild Beer Co used 30 live lobsters ― plus cockles, Kombu seaweed, sea salt, sea herbs, star anise and saffron ― to produce its 7 percent brew, called Of The Sea.
Initial reaction to the concept was “mixed,” the company’s co-founder Andrew Cooper told HuffPost during a tasting at its brewery near Shepton Mallet in Somerset this month.
“But we’d far rather brew something genuinely interesting and one that gets an emotional reaction from people than just another beer,” he added.
Inspiration for the dr...

Conclusion
After completing this study, and factoring in the above, of all the plant based proteins I have tried, I would personally choose Nutiva's Plant Protein Superfood 30 Shake in either vanilla or chocolate as my top choice.

The Next New Fat
Talk to a certified “dietitian,” and you might come away with the idea that nutrition is a complete, and finished area of science. To hear them tell the story, you’d think everything has been figured out. No surprises, no new discoveries.
Of course, that’s how most mainstream doctors and researchers look at the world. Like they already know everything there is to know.
Truth is, nutrition is a brand-new science.
And new discoveries are made all the time.
Some discoveries link us back to our native environment and show us what our real needs are, and how nature designed us. Other discoveries give us ...

Crowdsourcing biodiversity watch
Following the 2006 ban on sturgeon fishing, the Romanian town of Sfantu Gheorghe, located at the mouth of the Danube river, turned to other income source to replace its fishing based economy. Thus, local children undertook to map out a plant called sea buckthorn, as a first step in forecasting its potential harvest value. Sea buckthorn is a coastal bush which produces yellow berries, typically used in food, beverages and traditional medicine. To achieve their goal, the children used mapping and GPS facilities made available from a crowdsourcing-based biodiversity monitoring initiative called Naturalliance. (Source: ScienceDaily Headlines)
