“The Middle East is facing sharp increases in meat consumption that have the potential to significantly harm our health and the environment. Chicken is considered by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) to be a more environmentally and health-friendly alternative to beef and pork, but even that is too expensive for some Iranians, who are turning to Aubergine instead.

Supported by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), the Green Bus project is a collaborative effort between the RTA and SS Lootah International , one of the fiercest proponents of bio-fuels in the United Arab Emirates. It’s easy to poke fun at Dubai for all of its insane excesses , but because we’re big-hearted greenies, we also want to give the Emirate a giant high-five when it does something worthwhile. And the Green Bus is certainly that.

Plastic makes up nearly 80% of the world’s marine debris according to the United Nations Environment Program. Every year, the United States alone consumes roughly 12 million barrels of oil to produce plastic. We know plastic is almost inescapable, but here are 6 excellent reasons to just say no! It’s no secret. We hate plastic. We wish plastic had never been born, though we don’t really blame Alexander Parkes for inventing the stuff.

As we plan for the future of our planet, it is imperative that we consider the effects of development on both the environment and human populations. Recently, the UN Human Settlements Program (UN-HABITAT) launched its “ State of the World’s Cities Report 2012/2013 ” which addresses the prosperity of cities. Local governments have greater flexibility to create effective policy solutions and are more likely to pursue innovative and creative strategies than their national counterparts.

In Britain, the former Environment Secretary, Owen Patterson, under David Cameron, is also a climate change skeptic, oddly enough. The international system has set numerous targets to resolve the crisis, such as the UN Millennium Development Goals on the environment, but they are rarely, if ever, met. The many environment summits which regularly take place also fail to produce tangible results, with the big powers failing to agree on terms.

Even before the United Nations began requiring countries to collect data to report national GDP, Simon Kuznets, the metric''s chief architect, had warned against equating its growth with well-being.
