    Top 10 Posts for January 2015

    February 4, 2015 By Schuyler Null
    January-top-101

    In some parts of the world, natural resources are a given; in others, they’re a daily challenge. Our latest short film, Broken Landscape, examines the confrontation between those that rely on “rat-hole” coal mining for a living in northeast India and those affected by water pollution downstream.

    Jill Shankleman also gave us some ideas about how low oil prices might affect Africa’s petro states; The Washington Post’s Chris Mooney dove into how the U.S. military is experimenting with behavioral change to improve energy efficiency; and the UN reminded us of the intersection between gender roles, natural resources, and conflict recovery in many places.
