  • Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: A Comprehensive Guide for Our Eco-Friends
    Feb 12 2025

    We have all heard about the phrase reduce, reuse, and recycle. They symbolise the balance we should maintain with our environment—a balance that shields us from the harmful effects of waste.

    The three Rs centre around minimising consumption and the use of resources in production. Also, to lower our energy demand and the waste we generate.

    But first, let’s compare biodegradable and compostable. Our readers often ask about this.

    What’s the Difference Between Biodegradable and Compostable?

    Biodegradable materials are designed to break down naturally thanks to microorganisms. ‘Over time’ could mean weeks or centuries.

    However, not every biodegradable material breaks down effectively in landfills, leaving harmful residues.

    Compostable materials, on the other hand, promise to decompose within a specific time frame given the right temperature, moisture level, and oxygen conditions.

    Besides, they leave a nutrient-rich compost that can be later used as a fertiliser with no toxic remnants. In short, they vanish without a trace.

    Understanding compostables, let’s explore sustainability’s core principles.

  • Covering Deserts with Solar Panels: Is It a Good Idea?
    Feb 5 2025

    This seemingly impossible feat might be a reality sooner rather than later.

    A pioneering study from the Xi’an University of Technology has shown that industrial-scale solar farms in desert areas can actually improve soil quality, boost vegetation growth, and create a healthier microclimate.

    So far, this challenges the common perception that huge solar parks destroy their surrounding ecosystems.
