From skyscrapers to salad bowls: the urban revolution of vertical farming
Introduction: Imagine vibrant green and plump fruit lined up not in the gorgeous countryside but in the metal and glass of the city centre. This is not science fiction, it is the real phenomenon of vertical farming, a revolution in agriculture that is rewriting the story of where and how we grow vegetable rice. Forget tractors and sun soaks; Vertical farms have taken root in abandoned warehouses, converted shipping containers, and even massive skyscrapers, transforming urban areas into food-rich areas.

Interview with “Climate Changers; The future of sustainability and the clean tech
• Pros/cons of having COP 28 (and now 29) hosted by a petro state? o I mostly see positive aspects of having petroleum-producing countries involved in the climate negotiations. In fact, I believe that COP28 hosted by the UAE was a powerful step towards getting to NetZero. The UAE is the 7th largest oil producing country, and getting their political and financial commitment towards global decarbonization sets an important precedent that will also help getting other oil and gas producing countries to participate more actively in decarbonization.

Removing Snow
Whether you love it or hate it, eventually you’ll need to remove snow from your walks and driveways. We’ve been doing this every winter for the last 6,000 years when the first snow shovel was created in Russia. Every year, the US is affected by 105 snowstorms that can last 2-5 days each. Snow is when water freezes in the cloud and returns to Earth frozen. This means in order for the snow to build up, the ground needs to be frozen to hold it for at least a couple of days. Winter can last from December to late March each year, sometimes longer. When you are ready to confront the cold, here are some tips you can use to remove snow safely.

Want to Help the Environment this Year? Vote for Economic Stability and Equality
2024 is a turning point year for climate change. We must make radical and rapid changes to mitigate future damage, or we risk cementing the occurrence of an unprecedented catastrophe. I wish I was writing in hyperbole. “A course correction is urgently needed to limit warming to the 1.5 degrees Celsius set out in the Paris Agreement. Yet our current trajectory of between 2.5 and 2.9 degrees Celsius ensures the prospect of catastrophic climate change”, write Laurence Tubiana and Catherine McKenna of TIME in their article 2024 Must Be the Year for Exponential Climate Action. 2023 was a year of emission improvements, but not in any way were they rapid enough to keep up with the demand our planet has for it.

The Eye of the Sahara
In the heart of the Sahara Desert lies the Eye of the Sahara, also known as the Richat Structure—a geological formation that has puzzled scientists and explorers for decades. The causative factors behind this massive circular structure are not of extraterrestrial origin, as once speculated, but rather a result of geological uplift and erosion over millions of years.
