There is more potential for electronics made from wood. Scientists at Empa created biodegradable PCBs from wood based lignocellulose. If adopted widely, this could cut e-waste drastically. https://t.co/s3E9dZkvSh

Plants like okra & fenugreek are more than food, they may help clean water too! Sticky extracts trapped up to 90% of microplastics in tests, outperforming synthetic polymers. https://t.co/WBIPhf9qHS

Coca-Cola is forced to rework “100% recyclable / recycled” claims in Europe after consumer groups flagged them as misleading. The new labels will clarify that caps & labels aren’t included, no more greenwashing. https://t.co/EC2bj6iuyo

Gen Z is holding companies accountable, not with slogans, but with data. They're demanding clarity on Scope 3 emissions, supply chains, and real impact. They're not holding on to vague promises. Companies are definitely feeling the pressure. https://t.co/ZjOmSeD2u1

Are you interested in composting, but not sure what to add? Start with fruit peels, veggie scraps, and yard trimmings. Avoid meat, dairy, and oils.

Researchers from UT Austin made a hydrogel from food scraps and other biomass that can pull 14+ liters of drinkable water from air per kg per day. This could be a massive help in bringing clean water to off-grid communities. https://t.co/hSmSlirU0T

Gardening’s boom isn’t slowing even in these hard economic times. People are planting for edibles & joy. If you're feeling up to it, take some time to garden and use it as an antidote for uncertainty.

A nickel-based catalyst from Northwestern University could revolutionize plastic recycling by breaking down mixed polyolefins (including PVC-contaminated waste) into reusable oils, waxes, and fuels, without sorting. https://t.co/vESlcP1alv

In Grenada, sargassum seaweed is being repurposed into biogas to power a local bakery. It's a creative win for clean energy and coastal economies. It'll also, hopefully, give ideas for other uses for it. https://t.co/HOlkjteGLD

Communities across Canada are protecting freshwater by testing water with easy kits and sharing real data via Water Rangers’ open platform. Using the same kits, you can create volunteer groups and protect your local waters too. https://t.co/Ttu8qahuFU

In Buttes, Switzerland, Sun‑Ways installed a 100m pilot of removable solar panels between train tracks, generating around 16,000 kWh/year. This tech could revolutionize clean energy by using existing railways, not new land. https://t.co/PtV8Wv60Y4

Leave bolted lettuce and cilantro for pollinators around. It’s free food for them and I'd say it adds some beauty too.

Time for the midsummer prune. August is perfect for trimming herbs like basil & mint to encourage fresh growth before fall. If you have any extras, you can dry them to use for cooking later.
