Did you know? Sand is the world’s most mined material with an estimated 50 billion tons extracted from lakes, riverbeds, coastlines, and deltas each year.

Today we’re looking at some of the environmental protection plans which have been implemented for the world to preserve the wonder, beauty and liveability of this beautiful planet.

If we (meaning countries and corporations) can’t effectively reduce emissions in the volumes required, what other options are there?

We’ve had a request to take a look at the Tiny House Movement, so that’s exactly what we’re doing. What is a tiny house, why would you want one, and why it might not be the best choice, or even possible, for you. Despite the tiny size of the houses, there’s a lot to unpack here!

Failure to plan is a plan to fail. And indeed, for several decades there have been many plans set in motion for trying to ensure Mother Earth and her inhabitants can continue to survive and thrive, against

We’re sure you recall the power outages which were caused by unprecedented cold, snow, and freezing temperatures in Texas. And you might have noticed that climate skeptics suggest that this disproves global warming once and for all. But in fact, global warming leading to record low temperatures makes perfect sense.

There were fears during 2020 that the dip in carbon emissions we were experiencing would be short-lived, and that 2021 would bring a bounce back of global CO2e. And, indeed, that fear has been realized.

Whether man-made water sources or natural, what if we built solar arrays on water?

In a recent report from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) looking at how the State of California can achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 through negative emissions, researchers have set a goal to remove 125 million tons

This isn’t a question of the sustainability of the power source, ie., the sun. Obviously, there’s no concerns there. But the sun’s radiative energy doesn’t just spontaneously provide power to switch on the lights, it requires some pretty specific, technical hardware. And one thing we all understand, is that anything we humans produce has a usage expiration date. So today, let’s take a look at solar power and sustainability.
