Interesting stats on EVs and energy use in the US, developments in wind and tidal power, a plastic recycling microfactory, and an "unprecedented collapse" in EU fossil fuel generation.
That's what a recent study from Queen Mary University in London claims. The good news is, this suggests that a simple way to decrease climate-damaging emissions fairly quickly is by implementing tracking methods to identify the leaks and make those responsible for them clean them up ASAP.
(It also raises the question: how much damage are we causing to the planet through negligence – and how quickly can we mitigate that damage simply by being more attentive and cleaning up our messes??)
A new study suggests that switching to a reusable packaging paradigm can reduce greenhouse emissions from plastic by up to 69% – AND use up to 70% less water.
The Torres Strait Islanders say they're already experiencing coastal erosion and are seeking to require the government to cut greenhouse emissions in line with climate science.
