Milk has long symbolized a healthy diet. But is it really true? Milk is not necessarily what we think it is. Experts explain the difference between traditional and industrial milk production. Increased efficiency through concentrated feed leads to cow diseases that are treated with antibiotics leaving drug residues in the milk. There are strong concerns that modern milk may cause allergies, even cancer. The dose makes the poison, and there are indications that our ‘dose’ of milk is an overdose.

Singing louder than any animal on earth, humpback whales are famous for their haunting songs and jaw-dropping acrobatics. They were hunted to the brink of extinction until a moratorium on killing them was implemented in the 1960s.

Virtually everything we use creates varying degrees of waste throughout its lifecycle. Today, many nations face a looming waste management crisis, as their landfills reach capacity and continue to degrade the environment. Cheap labor costs in India are propelling a boom in the recycling of computer waste but at the cost of workers’ health. Whilst in Manila, achieving 'zero waste' is becoming a reality, as recyclable waste is turned into construction products.
