New study identifies mosquitoes’ favorite colors to feast on
Yes, it’s still winter, but the sun is staying out for longer, even if there’s still a chill in the air, which means spring is closer than you think. While many of us are looking forward to the warmth spring brings, there’s another aspect of the hotter seasons that we certainly … [Read more...] about New study identifies mosquitoes’ favorite colors to feast on
Liquid metal turns CO2 emissions into solid carbon at the source
Capturing carbon dioxide before it reaches the atmosphere is a key part of our global strategy to combat climate change. In an effort to find ways that could help us do that efficiently, scientists at RMIT have developed a method that quickly converts carbon dioxide into solid … [Read more...] about Liquid metal turns CO2 emissions into solid carbon at the source
Ukraine plans to plant one billion trees over the next three years
Back in 2019, Swiss scientists conducted a study that concluded that the most effective way to combat climate change is to plant a trillion trees. According to the study’s calculations, planting at least one trillion trees could sequester nearly 830 billion tons of heat-trapping … [Read more...] about Ukraine plans to plant one billion trees over the next three years
Researchers propose using passenger car emissions in agriculture
The average passenger emits about five US tons of CO2 and 5,547 gallons of waste water each year, while urban farmers use almost five pounds of CO2 and six gallons of water to grow two pounds of produce. Researchers from Texas A&M University believe these two systems could be … [Read more...] about Researchers propose using passenger car emissions in agriculture
