Imagine finishing a banana and contributing to a cleaner planet simultaneously. Scientists at South Dakota State University have made this a reality by turning those discarded peels into eco-friendly packaging. With an estimated 36 million tons of banana peels ending up in landfills annually, this innovation offers a promising solution to the plastic waste crisis.
Forget fire, the UK is now offering a greener alternative for end-of-life ceremonies: water cremation. This process, also known as resomation or alkaline hydrolysis, gently returns the body to ash using water and a mild alkaline solution. Unlike traditional cremation, which uses significant energy and releases emissions, water cremation boasts a smaller environmental footprint, making it an appealing option for environmentally conscious individuals.
In a landmark mission to combat climate change, NASA is gearing up to launch its groundbreaking "PREFIRE" program in 2024. This ambitious endeavor will see two identical spacecraft embark on a critical journey to Earth's poles, armed with sophisticated instruments to gather invaluable data.
A recent study by the National University of Singapore warns of a looming threat to global food security: climate change-induced locust megaswarms. The study predicts a potential 5% increase in suitable locust habitat due to rising temperatures, even under moderate emissions reduction scenarios. This could trigger widespread crop failures, jeopardizing food supplies for millions.
Hydrogen plays an important role for many sectors, yet creating it from fossil fuels emits tonnes of CO2 each year. To counter this, Hygenco, a Haryana-based green hydrogen business, plans to build India's first green hydrogen plant in Maharashtra. This plant aims to produce hydrogen without emitting carbon dioxide, in accordance with India's renewable energy ambitions.
NexGen Energia, a leading renewable energy company, is preparing to open one of India's first compressed biogas (CBG) plants in Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh. This innovative enterprise seeks to address trash management concerns while providing a renewable energy solution that promotes environmental sustainability.
Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani have planned an eco-friendly wedding in Goa. To reduce environmental effect, they chose e-invites and banned fireworks. The three-day event kicks off on February 19 at the ITC Grand in South Goa, with only close friends and family present.
A study led by researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory reveals a nine percent increase in methane emissions from Arctic-Boreal wetlands over the past 20 years. Published in Nature Climate Change, the study employed advanced monitoring techniques to analyze data from various sources. The Boreal and Arctic ecosystems, experiencing a warming rate four times faster than the global average, are vulnerable to climate change.
