This week there's been all sorts of panic – some of it surprisingly hairy! No we're not talking about Rob's man bun or his beard, or his face in general. Australian residents have been less than amused at the infestation of Panicum effusum. In Antarctica there's been a huge drop in the number of penguins due to an iceberg creating a much longer journey to their food source. But don't dispair there's still lots of good in the green world! The Meygen project in Scotland that uses tidal turbines to provide energy to a lot of homes! What might also make you happy is this new rad way of getting around – the motorised skateboard by Inboard. Even Steven Seagull is impressed!
