...from my garden's grass cuttings, house refuse etc. I have replaced all my lightbulbs for energy-saving bulbs. I save water and electricity by only boiling the kettle three times a day, putting the boiled water in a flask for tea and coffee later. I only put the geyser on to have enough hot water for showers and baths. I have planted maybe 300 trees in my lifetime. All this means I am helping to counteract the environmental problem, but it will never be enough because the fundamental problem is overpopulation. Unless people realize this and do something...

...range in the mountains outside Socorro, which actually blows things up. There, this class watches from half a mile away as plastic explosives rip through two offices, mangling their dummy occupants. Later, a 1988 Thunderbird with 200 lbs. of ammonium nitrate in the trunk erupts in a massive geyser of flame, raining jagged steel onto the barren hills...

In May NASA's Phoenix Lander will set down in Mars' arctic region in search of water ice. And later this month NASA and the European Space Agency will retire their Ulysses solar surveyor after a 17-year mission that...

...unexpected in this seismically fitful corner of Indonesia. What happened next was anything but expected. Mudakir watched as a neighbor, who had been inside eating breakfast, came tumbling into the street. "There was an explosion," Mudakir recalls. "Then the mud started to flow." He gaped in amazement as a geyser of scalding sludge shot five meters into the air, collapsing the roof of his neighbor's house. Mudakir froze.
