Recycling Isn't Going to Stop Plastic from Destroying the Earth

12/27/2018

You’re probably familiar with the recycling symbol: the triangular chasing arrows that appear everywhere from your to-go cup to the plastic containers used to pack up leftovers at a restaurant.

Boston Harbor cleanup was economically justifiable, finds new study

12/18/2018

0 Comments

 
A first-of-its-kind retrospective study finds that environmental cleanup projects are economically viable. The economic evaluation analysis estimates that Boston Harbor -- once dubbed America's filthiest harbor -- is now worth between $30 and $100 billion in ecosystem services. The study demonstrates that the post-cleanup value of healthy ecosystems and their associated benefits to society should be considered when evaluating options for coastal areas.

Researchers have discovered that living plants are literally 'green' power source: they can generate, by a single leaf, more than 150 Volts, enough to simultaneously power 100 LED light bulbs. Researchers also showed that an 'hybrid tree' made of natural and artificial leaves can act as an innovative 'green' electrical generator converting wind into electricity.
