Circular Economy

Carbon Neutrality

Many companies and countries are pledging to become carbon neutral by 2050, which means they will balance their carbon emissions with the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Ecosystem Restoration

Ecosystem restoration involves restoring damaged or degraded ecosystems to their natural state, which can help to mitigate the effects of climate change.

Green Building

Green building practices involve designing and constructing buildings that are energyefficient, water-efficient, and environmentally sustainable.

Renewable Energy

Renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydropower are becoming more popular as a way to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles are becoming more popular as a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation.

Human hair is being used by French and Belgian NGOs to absorb environmental pollutants. Hair clippings are collected from hairdressers and fed into a machine that turns them into matted squares that can be used to absorb oil and other hydrocarbons. The mats are then placed in drains to soak up pollution in water before it reaches a river, or to deal with pollution problems due to flooding.
