💡 Optimist's Edge: Space parasol to slow global warming
An enormous solar sail between Earth and the Sun could slow Earth's temperature rise enough to give us time to transform into a climate-sustainable society.
♻️ Algae can provide climate-neutral cement
Scientists have found a method to make cement where the extraction of the limestone is replaced by the cultivation of limestone. Through this process, the production of cement can become completely climate neutral – and perhaps even absorb more CO2 than it emits.
🍔 Alternatives to meat are the best way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions
Choosing an alternative to meat can reduce carbon dioxide emissions much more than stopping flying or producing more environmentally friendly cement.
🦠 Bacteria can clear plastic from lakes
The right mix of bacteria in a lake can more than double the bacteria's ability to break down plastic.
♻️ A surprising hero in the fight against microplastics: Okra
A new study from Tarleton State University in Texas shows that okra is a valuable ally in the fight to get microplastics out of our drinking water.
🧊 Green alternative to air conditioning: cooling bamboo system
This cooling system is made out of bamboo, hot air and water. It’s a much greener alternative to the traditional air conditioning.
🕸 Silk can replace microplastics
Microplastics for industrial use can be replaced by cheap and environmentally friendly silk fibers.
👟 Baby shoes dissolve in boiling water
These baby shoes are made to dissolve in boiling water when a baby outgrows them. They are created to last through the use of two kids so it still has hand-me-down potential.
🚅 Modified trains can capture carbon dioxide
A multidisciplinary research team publishes a study that proposes a way to more efficiently capture carbon dioxide from the air, using already existing infrastructure. According to the plan, trains can be modified so that previously wasted energy is used to power the process.
