Olive mill wastewater transformed: From pollutant to bio-fertilizer, biofuel

We use olive oil for cooking many dishes but never would we suspect that mixing olive oil and OMW-sawdust could possibly create fertilizer and fuel which is safe for the environment. I feel that if scientists could possibly secure this idea that the use of dangerous and pollutant fertilizers and fuel could end for Mediterranean countries, by combining OMW-sawdust and olive oil you could create eco-friendly fertilizer and fuel which would greatly improve the pollution in those areas.

    This is a really interesting concept. To be able to use something so common like olive oil to make something so beneficial to the environment would be amazing. I wonder if this is created, if we could possibly use other common things to create even more beneficial things for the environment.

    I agree with Jenna that this is a very interesting concept. The fact that such a simple and common household item can be used for environmental reasons is great. By experimenting with other common items, hopefully they can discover other materials that will benefit the Earth.

    I think this is great and that we should search for more safe alternatives , especially if these solutions are everyday items or items that are present in all households.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
