An Island Goes Trash Free

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/2019/04/bornholm-island-denmark-goes-trash-free-by-recycling/

Bornholm island in Denmark has decided to go completely trash free and recycle all of the trash that they produce. They have a total of 40,000 inhabitants and 600,000 tourists each year.  By 2023, Danish officials claim that all waste on Bornholm will be treated as a resource. They have a vision, but have not articulated a clear cut plan of how to attain this goal.

I think this is a really good idea, however they will need to strategically plan this in order for it to actually work.

    I agree. In theory, this idea is very promising, but I am not sure how they will execute it properly.

    This is a great idea, doing their part in helping the Earth, however, not having a plan yet and wanting this to be achieved by 2023 is very hard to do and chances are, it will take many more years to do so

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
