This 3D-printed concept wheel by tyre manufacturer Goodyear uses living moss to absorb moisture from the road, before converting it into oxygen through photosynthesis
Data from Space-Track.org allowed Corby-based electronic company RS Components to analyse just how many bits of debris are currently orbiting Earth and which country they belong to.
Maybe, but don’t shoot yourselves in the foot – satellites are finding polluters more than they are adding to it, according to most sources including this in the WSJ.
Who Are the World’s Biggest Climate Polluters? Satellites Sweep for Culprits
Governments are turning to the technology to expose hidden sources of greenhouse-gas emissions and monitor compliance with global pacts—as well as to point fingers at each other.
Spaceship Neptune isn’t powered by rockets but is lifted 30 kilometers above the Earth by a gigantic balloon, big enough to fit a whole football stadium inside.
The Founder and Convener of the Green Republic Project, Mr Nana Yaw Osei-Darkwa, has called on the Ministry of Roads and Highways to develop a policy that will make it obligatory for road contractors to plant trees along the roads they construct.
Consumers and senior retail executives were surveyed in tandem to compare perceptions and preferences for sustainable products, shopping formats, and the influences driving sustainable purchase decisions.
Trees get hardly any energy or materials from nutrients in the ground. They eat carbon from the air and use sunlight to power up their almighty water pumps. Think how stupid those last folk on Easter Island must have felt, killing that which kept them alive. HA, SO IT GOES.
Trees didn’t exist for the first 90 percent of Earth’s history and before that, Earth was home to fungi that grew 26 feet tall. And adding one tree to an open pasture can increase its bird biodiversity from almost zero species to as high as 80
Heartbroken that one of my mates cut a lovely tree down in his garden just so he could have less shade – ironically he is a bird spotter. Life gets me down sometimes, trees bring me back.
Turning your loved one's ashes into diamonds is has become a popular memorial. Our experts discuss what is a cremation diamond, the process, costs, & more.
CAP AND TRADE
A government sets a ceiling, or cap, on the total amount of carbon emissions it will allow in a certain time period. Companies who want to increase their emissions must buy permits from those companies who are polluting less.
CARBON TAX
A fee imposed by the government on each tonne of CO2 emitted by companies. Simpler to implement than a cap and trade system, but less popular with companies.
These futuristic-looking tires use moss to convert carbon to oxygen as you are driving.

The UK’s Daily (hate) Mail reports that the US has just, ahem, 2 pieces more junk in space as the Russians. Go figure.

Carbon Neutral AND Spacejunk Neutral would be a fine standard for others to follow, early days guys. Read this https://www.weforum.org/videos/this-carbon-neutral-spaceship-could-take-you-to-the-edge-of-space
We can create net zero-carbon roads worldwide by planting trees along all highways and streets.
How about taking roads underground and turning the space they occupy into green parks?

Scientists have discovered an asphalt that can suck CO2 from the air, making it the perfect road surface material!

I am in complete support of this! A footprint label can bring to light companies that use unethical practices in their manufacturing processes.
This is exactly what eco-conscious consumers need to make informed decisions.
How about these carbon-absorbing murals and graffiti that are popping up in various cities across the world?

I bet they are slagging us right off, and rightly so.
Heartbroken that one of my mates cut a lovely tree down in his garden just so he could have less shade – ironically he is a bird spotter. Life gets me down sometimes, trees bring me back.
It’s a thing – The diamond is left inside a growing cell until it reaches the desired size. The longer you wait, the larger the diamond becomes.
…and here is how it’s done. Weird.
People do this now.
Good idea for an app, don’t hold your breath though it would take AI to calculate the real impact of each purchase.
Saw these online, should be a thing already.
