NASA has confirmed, the year is over and 2019 is one of the hottest on record. The trend of warmth that we’ve been seeing isn’t a fluke or some sort of anomaly, it’s a real problem that can only be pulled back by real change.
When it comes to sustainable agriculture, we need to make some changes to keep everyone fed. We currently don’t make enough food for everyone but with some shuffling around, we can exceed what we need without destroying the Earth.
Biofuel still sounds like a thing from science fiction but it’s real and comes in a variety of forms. Researchers are working on a way to turn yeast into car fuel to create a sustainable energy source that can be implemented without a fuss.
Single use plastics are a problem when it comes to pollution. Many of them aren’t being recycled and end up back in the ecosystem where they take years upon years to breakdown and in the meantime do damage to the natural world. China is saying no more! The country has plans to ban the material nation wide.
Solar panels are, well, panels but what if they were more like fabric? A new type of solar sheet developed by the company, Solivus, is thin, flexible and can be attached to just about anything giving a variety of structures their own renewable energy option without major installation needed.
One of the ways that we can capture carbon from the air is by planting more trees. They do the job naturally all while giving us delicious oxygen. They’re great! It’s not new information that planting trees will help but many people have asked, how many do we need? Well, turns out the answer is, kind of a lot.
Microsoft has pledged to remove all carbon that it has put into the environment as a company by the year 2050. Again, all the carbon they have created since 1975. That’s 45 years worth of carbon that they are pledging to pull out of the air plus ending their own current output.
Trees are important in turning the tide on climate change but you can’t plant them everywhere. Specifically you are limited in what you can plant in an urban environment given all of the buildings and asphalts and what not. Enter City Trees, the towers of moss that want to clean the air up.
