"The financial crisis highlights what environmental groups say are deep inadequacies in cleanup requirements for coal companies. Often, activists say, mining companies are simply given a pass after meeting the most rudimentary requirements to cover up open pits with dirt and rock. Some environmental groups are pressing for legislation requiring 'contemporaneous reclamation' — forcing mining companies to clean up after each phase of mining rather than waiting for the entire project to be completed."

These Light-Up ‪#‎Fishing‬ Nets Could Save Sea ‪#‎Turtles‬ - New research shows attaching LED lights to fishing nets can keep turtles from becoming accidentally entangled - One of the many threats facing sea turtles, all species of which are categorized as threatened, is net fishing. Turtles can unwittingly become scooped up in fishing nets as bycatch. Now, a team of scientists at the University of Exeter has discovered that attaching green LED lights to nets used by small-scale fisherman can reduce the number of green sea turtle deaths by 64 percent. The lights don’t seem to affect the number of fish caught, which means the intervention is less likely to be rejected by fisheries.
