Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that can leak from oil and gas wells, pipelines and landfills. Satellites can spot the releases fast enough to get them fixed and help protect the climate.
If not properly managed, heavy metals such as arsenic can accumulate in landfills and leach into soils and groundwater.
Scientists found PFAS hot spots in Miami’s Biscayne Bay where the chemicals are entering coastal waters and reaching the ocean. Water samples point to some specific sources.
For Australia to shift to a net zero economy, its big polluters need to cut emissions. A get-out clause buried in the policy makes it unlikely that they will, and the result will be devastating.
Brands like Zara and H&M are teaming up with recycled textile producers but more collaboration is needed.
Lagos has a waste problem that can be tackled by adopting a sustainable waste management policy that considers income brackets.
PFAS can be filtered, but getting rid of the chemicals is a monumental challenge. A biochemist and soil scientist explain.
Humans generate a lot of trash, but there are cheaper and safer ways to handle it than loading it on rockets.
Most food waste still goes into red bins of mixed waste bound for landfill. It’s using up precious landfill space and harming the environment when it could produce valuable compost and biogas instead.
Reducing food waste at home is an action that anyone can take to help slow climate change, often saving money in the process. More consumer education could help show people what to do.
The decision by African ministers of environment to end open waste burning will not only save lives but also open up new income streams.
The complexity of construction projects has driven an increase in building waste, which is difficult to recycle and reuse. But there are ways to minimise the problem.
PFAS can be filtered, but getting rid of the chemicals is a monumental challenge. A new breakthrough offers some hope.
