In the old dairy in Karlshamn, there is the world's first facility to take care of the large amounts of residue that comes from the company's production of oat products. First up is a leftover burger. As plant-based foods become more and more popular, the amount of residue that today is mainly used as animal feed also grows. "We mainly have oats, but the method can be used for most things, everything from soy to residual products from the brewing industry. Today, millions of tons of residual pulp come out of the plant-based industry, which is also experiencing strong growth," says Kenth Lindvall, CEO of The Green Diary.

Burgaren som blev lösningen på vegoproblemet
I det gamla mejeriet i Karlshamn finns världens första anläggning för att ta hand om de stora mängder restmassa som kommer från bolagets produktion av havreprodukter. Först ut är en restmassaburgare.

🌍 One of the biggest challenges of the twenty-first century is environmental pollution. 🚯 Industrial and agricultural development, rapid urban expansion, and population growth have led to contamination of our soil, water, and air with harmful substances. This pollution includes plastics, heavy metals, dyes, and non-degradable organic compounds. These toxic pollutants accumulate over time, posing a threat to our ecosystems. 💧🌱 🦠 Luckily, there is a fascinating solution called microbial bioremediation! This involves microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi that can naturally remove pollutants from soil and water. 🌱 Through biodegradation, these tiny organisms break down pollutants into harmless substances or low concentrations that meet regulatory standards. It's an environmentally friendly process that produces non-dangerous compounds like water and carbon dioxide. 📚✨ Discover more about the fascinating world of microbial bioremediation and its potential for environmental restoration in this article 👇 : https://medium.com/the-environment/how-microorganisms-remove-pollutants-from-soil-and-water-38bfd97fe267

🌍 Landfills are a farce: they not only contribute to pollution of soil, water, and air, but also emit significant amounts of greenhouse gases. Moreover, they occupy valuable space that could be utilized more productively. ♻️ That is why waste management plays a crucial role in addressing limited resources and environmental issues caused by landfills. 🍾 For example, waste management of glass is important as glass often ends up in landfills unnecessarily: it is completely recyclable and can be put to good use in many other ways. 🌱 Learn more about fascinating applications of glass waste to contribute to a sustainable future 👇 : https://medium.com/the-environment/7-alternative-ways-to-recycle-glass-waste-7b308b3eb117

Climate change destroying lives The world we are living in is constantly evolving. From the 1980s going onwards we have witnessed severe damage to the ozone layer . This has led to many natural disaster occurring. In lndia there is a heat wave that is affecting people. A few weeks ago in South Africa KwaZulu-Natal province to be specific there were heavy rains.Not mentioning the other natural disasters happening in different parts of the world. Some reports say that a months worth of rain fell in one night. The rains left a trail of disaster destroying infrastructure worth millions of dollars. Destroying livelihoods, killing people and destroying relationships to mention but a few.One family lost 9 children who were all under the age of 8.These children had hopes and dreams to be pilots , doctors, footballers , actors but this has all been ended. The question is are we doing enough? Are companies and governments doing enough???🤔 Certainly not because if there was full engagement from corporates then we would be in a better world. If only the political fraternity crafted and fully implemented laws to reduced the use of fossil fuels then it would be better. Now this is not so and this has resulted in a high frequency of natural disasters like the ones mentioned above occurring at a much more predictable interval.Let us switch to renewable energy such as biogas, wind and solar. Elon musk is a good example of a change maker because Tesla's electric cars are helping wean the automotive industry from reliance on fossil fuels. Let us fight to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Putting geopolitical , economic and cultural differences aside will help the world to collaborate on a single mission to keep the temperature rise below 1.5°C. Above which the world will see more destruction like never before. This is the only world we have let us work together for a common purpose. I do not blame the likes of Elon Musk by wanting humans to go to Mars. This is because he has seen how greedy we are to the extent of destroying our world for financial and political dominance. So in that light he is justified.He The sad part is that this climate crisis is hurting the poor more than any other group of people. Let us act before it is too late. Together we can. #Wedonthavetime #keepitbelow1.5°C

We dig bunds to harvest rainwater and to regreen drylands. Once the bunds have been dug, they are capable of re-greening themselves! Not only the inside of the bund itself but also the surrounding area will become greener and more fertile. These photos from Pembamoto, Tanzania show how vegetation starts in the bunds first, but it only takes a few years for it to spread out to its surroundings. These bunds were dug with our partner LEAD Foundation. 🌱 Learn more about digging bunds: https://justdiggit.org/what-we-do/landscape-restoration/water-bunds/

The Cardano Foundation is spearheading land restoration and local ecosystem development activities using the Cardano blockchain. A restoration effort using the Cardano blockchain reached its first goal of planting over 1 million trees, the Cardano Foundation, a non-profit that oversees developments on the Cardano network, said over the weekend. “The Cardano Forest is 100% funded, we’ve reached the 1 million trees milestone. All trees planted will be recorded on the Cardano blockchain for enhanced transparency and serve as public proof of land restoration activities,” Cardano Foundation CEO Frederik Gregaard said in a tweet thread. The foundation has partnered with crypto startup Veritree for the planting effort. Veritree uses blockchain technology to record the supply chain of tree plantations for its users, allowing for a verifiable tracking of such activities. Veritree plants a tree each time Cardano’s ADA currency is exchanged for a TREE token. TREE, in turn, can be redeemed for digital trees and non-fungible tokens (NFT) during certain “redemption days,” with the rarity of the issued NFTs based on the initial amount of ADA exchanged. NFTs are digital assets that can represent ownership of unique tangible and intangible items on a blockchain. Transactional data shows large amounts of ADA were bestowed towards the effort. One wallet exchanged 100,000 ADA for 100,000 TREE tokens – worth over $118,000 at the time of writing – to become the biggest donor for the cause. Other large donors exchanged amounts ranging from 5,000 ADA (≈$5,900 at press time) to 87,500 ADA (≈$103,900 at press time). The Cardano Forest activity is part of a broader effort by Cardano to become a climate-positive blockchain. Blockchain technology has been the subject of massive criticism in recent years about the blockchain’s environmental impact. Blockchains run on a global network of users or organizations that use their computing resources – by either staking crypto or running mining rigs – to validate data and process transactions on that network. Mining, in particular, consists of specialized computing systems that solve millions of calculations each second to “win” blocks, using huge amounts of electricity to keep running. Such usage of computing resources is deemed unnecessary by critics, who say the large electricity requirements damage the environment. Newer blockchains like Cosmos, Terra and Cardano run on a proof-of-stake concept that relies on network “stakers” who lock up their tokens on public nodes to maintain the blockchain. This is said to be more environmentally friendly than mining. Planting trees is a step in an environmentally friendly direction. The ethos is simple: The creation of more trees can, in theory, offset the damage done by human activity in other parts of the world. Cardano Foundation and Veritree did not return requests for comment at press time. Source: https://www.coindesk.com/business/2022/01/10/cardano-reaches-goal-of-planting-1m-trees/

Bill Gates Climate Fund Reportedly Plans to Invest $15 Billion in Clean Tech Breakthrough Energy Catalyst, a fund that sits within the wider Breakthrough Energy Group that was founded by Gates in 2015, has raised over $1.5 billion from businesses and charitable organizations so far. But Jonah Goldman, BEC managing director, reportedly told the FT that the fund ultimately plans to invest 10 times that amount. On its website, Breakthrough Energy describes BEC as a "program to demonstrate how we can finance, produce and buy the new solutions that will underpin a low carbon economy." Breakthrough Energy Catalyst, a private-public fund backed by Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates, is reportedly planning to invest up to $15 billion in clean tech projects across the U.S., the U.K. and the European Union. BEC, a fund that sits within the wider Breakthrough Energy Group that was founded by Gates in 2015, has raised over $1.5 billion from businesses and charitable organizations so far. But Jonah Goldman, BEC managing director, told the Financial Times that the fund ultimately plans to invest 10 times that amount, or $15 billion. BEC did not immediately respond to a CNBC request for comment. In order to deploy $15 billion, Goldman told the FT that the fund plans to use innovative financial structures and partnership agreements. "We are last-mile financing and so, we will be the most risky capital in there," Goldman said. "We're really trying to demonstrate which of the technological pathways are going to be most effective." On its website, Breakthrough Energy describes BEC as a "program to demonstrate how we can finance, produce and buy the new solutions that will underpin a low carbon economy." BEC will initially focus on direct air capture, green hydrogen, long-duration energy storage, and sustainable aviation fuel. The fund, which plans to invest in large projects that would not otherwise be financially viable, will make philanthropic donations, sub-market equity investments and product offtake agreements, according to the FT. BEC announced in September that it had secured investments from Microsoft, BlackRock, General Motors, American Airlines, Boston Consulting Group, Bank of America and ArcelorMittal. It has also received support from the U.S. Department of Energy and the executive arm of the EU, the European Commission.

Your old Timberland boots can now become your new Timberland boots Timberloop, a program that launches today, will take back old boots and clothing to be refurbished or recycled into new products, as the company goes all in on circularity. “Circularity” has become a buzzword in the fashion world, with brands using the catchall term to refer to everything from using eco-friendly materials to selling secondhand goods. But becoming a truly circular company is harder than it looks, as Timberland, the iconic American boot brand founded in 1975, is discovering firsthand. Today it launches a program called “Timberloop” that invites customers to return used Timberland products so they can be refurbished or disassembled and then upcycled. For a brand that generates upward of $11 billion in annual revenue, this program was a major undertaking, requiring it to partner with experts across its global markets—including the U.S., Europe, and Asia—who could take apart shoes and clothes and transform them into new products. Now the big question is whether enough consumers will be willing to go through the effort of returning their old products, and whether Timberland can scale this program. The concept of a circular economy has been around since the 1960s. It refers to moving away from a linear system in which consumers use products then throw them away. Instead, products would stay in circulation for as long as possible by being repaired, refurbished, and resold. Then, at the end of their lives, they would be recycled into new products, minimizing the amount of raw materials that need to be extracted.

Every day more than 3.5 billion people cook over an open fire, jeopardizing their health and causing many problems. Some of these problems include deforestation, no education, high cost in cooking, and difficulties in cooking. Hence, an innovative solution is a No Wahala bag which is made from foam scraps and scraps of polystyrene. It makes cooking easier, low cost and provide job employment. It creates time for family and work disposable income. Connect Instagram: @nowahalabag_ Facebook: @nowahalabag Source: https://youtu.be/jOHRs9VSofY

A panel of top international lawyers assembled by the Stop Ecocide Foundation have published a legal definition of ecocide for the first time. Approving the right definition could pave the way for acts of environmental destruction to be prosecuted and condemned by the International Criminal Court, under the same consideration as war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocides and aggression. Behind the idea of drafting a proper, legal definition, stand international lawyers Philippe Sands and Dior Fall Sow, co-chairing the expert panel. https://www.euronews.com/green/2021/06/22/top-international-lawyers-to-make-ecocide-a-crime-against-nature

Am a resident of Kiambu county in Thika Sub county,Kenya. One of the affected residents in our neighbouring estate of Makongeni in Kamenu ward phase 7, near the Jesus Recovery Ministries church and others too are crying foul & pleading with Kiambu county to clear hips of trash & bushes that have converted into den of robbers & breeding place to rodents & snakes. We as members of wdht-Kenya Chapter we humbly request county to do the necessary to avert this and...we let our environment be healthy and in that way we shall all live a healthy life! Some years back Thika Municipality for some years retained an award for the cleanest town among municipalities, we wish the relavant departments could bring back their glory as it used to be.... It's not late As Together we are the solution to the climate #Crisis. #AConcernedResident.

A huge shout out to the Amazon CEO for his recent pledge to invest $2bn into restoring the natural world. The billionaire was inspired to take action after his trip to space, where he remarked that the Earth looked "finite and fragile". During his speech at COP26, he stated that in "too many parts of the world, nature is already flipping from a carbon sink to a carbon source", and has pledged to use his significant capital in large part to restoring lands in developing countries that have been degraded from fantastic sources of food and energy into barely surviving ecosystems. And the $2bn amount stated is just the start - over the course of several years, the Amazon CEO plans to invest $10bn in restoring these depleted areas of land, creating sustainable and green regions that can benefit this generation and the next. In his own words, these restorative efforts "can improve soil fertility, raise yields and improve food security, make water more reliable, create jobs and boost economic growth, while also sequestering carbon..." So, Kudos to Mr. Bezos, we hope this act inspires many CEO's and institutions to take climate action upon themselves, too. Source: https://youtu.be/Gfib4rwn_hc

Swedish artist Martin Lima de Faria has created a carbon dioxide absorbing globe called ”CO2-Zero”. This is how it works, according to the artist: Scientists sprinkle, in a sustainable way, magnesium silicate around the designed globe. It is then sealed in vacuum. When it is opened, a chemical process happens: The magnesium silicate absorbs CO2, and turns into degradable magnesium carbonate, sand and water - all easily composted. In the same process, the globe turns from a polluted red to a cleaner white, making land and sea more and more visible, as it absorbs CO2.

In cities where packaging free grocery shops can be hard to find, solutions such as this are a great alternative. I ordered food (beans, seeds, pasta, popcorn) from Unwrapped recently and received them in reusable containers that I can send back once I transfered it to my own containers. Amazing! Only downsides are the transports that are expensive for wallet and environment and the small hassle of booking dropoff and pick up of the containers, but if this becomes more common I think it has great potential!
