NASA Satellite Images of Istanbul Put Causes and Consequences of Urban Sprawl in Stark Relief

Istanbul in 1975. Vegetated areas appear red while urbanized ones appear gray in this satellite image.
Recently released satellite photos of Istanbul provide striking visual evidence of what building more roads can do to a city -- and the results aren't very pretty.
A NASA Earth Observatory image acquired from a Landsat satellite in 1975, when Istanbul's population was around 2.5 million, shows a relatively small area of urban settlement (depicted in gray) surrounded by broad swathes of red (representing "plant-covered land").

Riomaggiore Italy
Riomaggiore Italy is a small village located in the Cinque Terre
region of Italy. The mountainous coastal area first became a popular
tourist destination after the painter Telemaco Signorini lived
and painted in the village in the mid 1800s. The village is known for
Riomaggiore wine, which is produced locally in the town’s wineries.
Riomaggiore travel can be spent enjoying a glass of wine at the
central bar, hiking along rugged trails, or watching for marine life
at the Mediterranean harbor. The best way to explore Riomaggiore Italy is by foot.

3D Printers In A Prius Prove This Technology is Road Ready
What
happens when you put a couple of cheap 3D printers in the back of your
Prius, and drive around making products for people. Can you create a
business? What are the best products to try and make? Two guys are
trying to answer these questions with a new project called PocketFactory.
Using 3D Printing To Grow A Small Business
Bilal Ghalib and Alex Hornstein have put four consumer level (sub-$2,000) 3D printers in the back of their car and are making their way across the US. Their goal is to start a business of designing, producing and selling products made on these printers. They're also open sourcing everything about their adventure so anyone interested in duplicating the business can do so.

Governments Spend $1.4 Billion Per Day to Destabilize Climate
We
distort reality when we omit the health and environmental costs
associated with burning fossil fuels from their prices. When governments
actually subsidize their use, they take the distortion even further.
Worldwide, direct fossil fuel subsidies added up to roughly $500 billion
in 2010. Of this, supports on the production side totaled some $100
billion.
