WATCH: Drought-Hardy Barley Could Save Your Beer

by Myrna Posted on October 14, 2013

Just in time for Oktoberfest, genetic research on barley could save a staple crop from drought… and keep the beer flowing. Raise a glass to these German scientists, who are working out a way to protect a key beer ingredient from climate change. As Oktoberfest rages on, geneticist Nils Stein is deciphering the genome of barley, looking for genes that could help the plant survive through droughts. The study’s implications go beyond these beer tents. Barley is the fourth most-produced cereal in the world; a recent drought in Russia that hurt barley production led to a global price spike. And a drought that devastated Syria’s barley crop contributed to that country’s civil war. Join Climate Desk on a trip from some of the world’s most advanced greenhouses to the rowdy crowds of Munich. Produced in part by a grant from the Heinrich Böll Foundation.

Save Energy, Boil Water with a SunRocket Solar Kettle

by 9ji7g4x Posted on October 8, 2013

We recently featured the SunRocket, a solar-powered kettle, in our guide to eco-friendly camping gear. The SunRocket, made by Australia-based company Sun Cooking, can boil water using energy from the sun, allowing users to have hot water — and also save energy — while on the go. Earth911 contributing writer Kathryn Sukalich recently had the opportunity to test out the SunRocket.

When I first learned about the SunRocket, I was impressed by the clever use of technology. A solar-powered method for boiling water requires no gas or electricity, meaning it’s free to use wherever you have access to the sun. Plus, it seems like a unique way to harness the power of the sun for a simple yet necessary task.

Upon receiving the SunRocket, I was surprised by its size. At about 18 inches long, the device is larger than I expected it to be, and just by looking at it someone might not infer its purpose. Despite its unusual appearance, which does in fact make it look like a rocket, I was excited to test out the SunRocket for myself.
