What kind of a new home would be fitting for a leading climate scientist who has dedicated his scientific career to proving the world can quickly transition off fossil fuel?  In alignment with his life’s work, when professor Mark Z. Jacobson decided to build his house in Stanford, he pursued an energy-efficient design that generates all its own energy from renewable sources.  Professor of civil & environmental engineering and director of the Atmosphere/Energy Program at Stanford University, Jacobson may be best known for his work as a founder of The Solutions Project

The Samsung ‘Galaxy for the Planet’ initiative is a new commitment being launched by the tech brand to help eliminate the use of single-use plastics from all its product packaging in the near future. The commitment will see the brand shifting to recycled materials across all its new mobile products by the year 2025. The brand will also push to minimize the amount of waste generates at mobile worksites to divert all waste from going to the landfill by 2025. President and Head of Samsung Electronics’ Mobile Communications Business TM Roh explained the new Samsung ‘Galaxy for the Planet’ initiative further saying, “We believe that everyone has a role to play in providing innovative solutions that protect the planet for generations to come. Samsung understands our efforts need to match our scale, our influence, and the magnitude of the entire Galaxy ecosystem around the world. Galaxy for the Planet is an important step in our journey toward creating a more sustainable world, and we will do so with the openness, transparency, and collaboration that drives everything we do.”
