Electronic research databases provider EBSCO publishing (EBSCO), a division of EBSCO Industries Inc., US, recently launched a new freely accessible research database, GreenFILE. The database focuses on the relationship between human beings and the environment.

It covers topics ranging from global warming to recycling to alternate fuel sources and beyond. Comprised of scholarly and general interest titles, as well as government documents and reports, GreenFILE offers a perspective on the positive and negative ways humans have an effect on the ecology.
