Conclusions and recommendations We recognise that fast fashion has made it affordable for everyone to experience the pleasure of style, design and the latest trends. We were told however that the most sustainable garment is the one we already own and that repairing, rewearing, reusing, and renting are preferable to recycling or discarding clothes. The Government must change the system to end the throwaway society.

Automobile dependency in cities negatively impacts people and the environment directly (i.e., air and noise pollution), indirectly (i.e., cardiovascular and respiratory disease), and accumulatively define automobile dependence, as “a situation in which a city develops on the assumption that automobile use will predominate so that it is given priority in infrastructure and the form of urban development.”  Sustainable urban mobility (SUM), by contrast, rebalances the priorities of transportation modes in cities. Transitioning towards SUM necessitates limiting the usage of the private automobile and its associated infrastructure, promoting public and non-motorized transport modes, reducing the need to travel, shortening distances, as well as using renewable energy sources (such as biofuels, solar, etc.) to power vehicles.

Flaring of Natural Gas in Guyana: Why Is It Happening, and How Can It Be Minimized? Robert Kleinberg Senior Fellow, ISE Principal, Presidio Energy Technology Guyana, a small nation in northeast South America, has featured prominently in energy news lately.

As COVID-19 batters the world and its economy, it’s time to rethink sustainable pathways for our planet. Rosy hopes that globalization and economic growth would bankroll waves of green investment and development are no longer realistic. It’s unlikely there will be enough money or attention to banish poverty and inequality, expand health care and overturn biodiversity loss and climate change, all by 2030.

There is a business case for prioritising sustainability that goes well beyond its societal benefits, new research shows. Businesses are increasingly reaping bottom-line benefits from focusing on environmental and ethical issues.The research, carried out by packaging company Smurfit Kappa and Longitude, a Financial Times company, surveyed 200 UK business leaders. It found that 83 per cent of businesses now believe that sustainability is a business opportunity to be exploited. Some 72 per cent expect sustainability to be an enduring trend – and 74 per cent are committed to staying ahead of their competitors on sustainability issues.

The biggest ever science expedition to the Arctic encountered extremely thin sea ice, which could threaten future efforts to study the region.A team on board the Polarstern icebreaker began drifting last September until their vessel became locked in an ice floe. In the area where they started their journey, off the Russian continental shelf, the ice was exceptionally thin compared to what models predicted for the last two decades. The ice was around 50 centimetres thick compared to the 150-160cm found in three years of observations in the 1990s.

Concrete is the most used material on Earth. As materials expert Chris Cheeseman, from Imperial College London, explains: if you could put everything in the world made from concrete in one pile and everything made from other materials in a pile next to it, ‘the concrete pile would dwarf the other pile’.
It’s an unappreciated wonder material. Made from stones, sand and water, its key ingredient, cement, performs some chemical trickery that turns grey, runny slurry into solid rock, in whatever shape we choose. From plant pots to Ancient Rome’s Colosseum, it created the modern world.

Continent by continent and country by country our lives came to a grinding halt when the pandemic started spreading around the world. Movement of people, goods, and services were drastically reduced. By April, the number of air travelers dropped over 80% compared to the year prior, and at some point more than half of the world’s airplanes were grounded. Automobile traffic fell 70% in countries under lockdown orders. All of this in an effort to battle the virus and flatten the curve.

IBM Z Door Is a Model of Sustainable Design By John Buscemi Sometimes a door is just a door. And sometimes it’s a paradigm for a different way of thinking. Take, for example, the front door of the IBM z15, the latest version of the IBM Z mainframe. At first glance, it appears solid. But it actually hides a multi-layered system of aluminum and acoustic foam shapes, designed to do something crucial for a computer in a modern data center: increase airflow to cool the machine, while also reducing noise. Sometimes a door is just a door.

Climate change is the defining issue of our time – we know, beyond reasonable doubt, what that science now tells us. Just as climate change is accelerating, so too must we – summoning up a greater sense of urgency, courage and shared endeavour than humankind has ever seen before.  The Age of Climate Change is an age of superlatives: most extreme this, biggest that, most costly ever. The impacts worsen every year, played out in people’s backyards and communities, and more and more people around the world now realise this is going to be a massive challenge for the rest of their lives. In Hope in Hell, Porritt confronts that dilemma head on.
