Technological advances over the years have made it easier to do business over great distances. Cars and airplanes, for instance, help us do business face to face in hours — nationwide and between continents. With those technological advances, however, have come increased carbon emissions and environmental damage.

TerraCycle offers a range of national, easy-to-use recycling platforms allowing everyone to #RecycleEverything, as well as Loop, a sustainable shopping experience moving the world away from single-use packaging. See below to get started.
Trees are nature’s way of cleaning the air, but they come with the downside of needing time in order to grow. A Mexican startup called Biomitech has a way around this, however. The company has developed an artificial tree that it claims is capable of sucking up the equivalent amount of air pollution as 368 living trees. That’s not only a saving on growing time, but also on the space needed to accommodate them.

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190408114243.htm Solar panels and wind turbines coupled with energy storage offer a better hope for tackling climate change than trying to capture carbon from fossil fuel power stations, according to new research. New research shows that resources that would be spent on developing and installing carbon capture technologies would be better invested in creating more solar panels and wind turbines and focusing on developing energy storage options to support these instead.

The resulting material is biodegradable, produces zero toxic waste and recycles into organic waste.
www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181225162808.htm 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. But although the sign might make it seem like almost everything we use has the potential to be recycled, the truth is, a lot of the items we place in our recycling bin may not end up where we expect them to.
