Go into any data centre and you will see thousands of tiny lights, in the rows and rows of electronic gear. A UK company reckons these, and those on computing equipment in UK homes contribute 50,000 tonnes to CO2 emissions and waste £10m a year in energy costs.

We've all heard how better broadband will support lots of eco-friendly greenhouse gas reducing activities like telemedicine and teleworking, but the FTTH Council Europe has gone one better and attempted to balance the gains of these activities against the environmental impact of laying and operating FTTH networks. Not surprisingly, it's all good news.

No need to panic just yet, but in 7.6 billion years, the dying Sun will expand and burn up our planet completely. The answer? Use a large passing asteroid to ‘nudge’ our orbit further outwards; live on space ‘life rafts’ or leave the planet in search of strange new worlds.

Australian scientists have found that kangaroos have a special bacterium in their stomachs that doesn’t contain methane. They are trying to identify this bacterium and then develop a way to itransfer it to other animals, such as cattle, pigs, and sheep, which emit large quantities of the harmful greenhouse gas.
