This week I’ve been reading the The Daily Star, from Dhaka, which has been pondering why 70 people have been killed by lightning strikes in Bangladesh in April and May. The Daily Star is a strong national newspaper, but I’m not sure it has quite enough in presentation and diversity of stories to keep me coming back as an international reader. Next week I’ll be reading Russia Today.
And finally, the PR agency Vuelio named Make Wealth History Britain’s number one green blog this week, which is nice.

I learned that the new Avengers movie has an environmentalist as the evil bad guy, which is nice. Thanos is Paul Ehrlich in space.
I heard that. I’m almost curious enough to go and see the movie, but not quite. Have you seen it?
