A new study published in Science argues against the bias against “feral” or “invasive” animals, stating that they play a vital role in rewilding ecosystems. The study challenges the belief that some species belong in a particular landscape while others do not. It suggests that the distinction between native and introduced species is not helpful […]
The Mohawk Trail and Hawlemont regional school districts are undertaking Phase 2 of a sustainability study in an effort to reorganize and address the challenges faced by rural schools. The study is being led by educational resource company BERK12 and is fully funded by a Massachusetts Community Compact grant. According to Sheryl Stanton, superintendent of […]
Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have made a significant discovery regarding global warming dynamics. It has long been understood that global temperature rises are not consistent throughout the day and night, with greater nighttime warming being observed. However, a recent study has revealed a shift in these dynamics, with greater daytime warming […]
Cubico Sustainable Investments, a global leader in renewable energy, has expanded its development pipeline in Mexico through the acquisition of Renantis Mexico and a strategic agreement with Sowitec Group. These acquisitions include at least 12 solar and hybrid projects across 7 states in Mexico, further establishing Cubico’s presence and impact nationwide. With these transactions, Cubico […]
A recent study has shed light on the significant impact of climate change on trees. The research, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals that trees are becoming less effective at filtering carbon dioxide, particularly in warmer and drier climates. The study underscores how rising global temperatures are making it increasingly […]
Bruce Becker believes that building green is not only environmentally responsible but also a smart business decision. As the principal of Becker + Becker, he recently oversaw the transformation of New Haven’s Pirelli Building into the sustainably designed Hotel Marcel. This project made history by becoming America’s first Passive House-certified hotel. Becker explained in an […]
Environmental advocates are bolstered by a recent poll showing that voters in Maryland want policymakers to take a tough stance against fossil fuel companies.

The climate change debate has reached a boiling point as panel members face off in a chaotic exchange. This comes amidst increasing calls for action to address the alarming number of heatwave-related deaths, with MPs warning of up to 10,000 annual fatalities. The United Kingdom finds itself unprepared for the escalating heatwaves, which are projected […]
City University of Hong Kong scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of catalyst engineering. They have developed a new strategy to create stable and efficient ultrathin nanosheet catalysts by forming Turing structures with multiple nanotwin crystals. This development has the potential to significantly enhance catalyst performance for green hydrogen production. Hydrogen energy […]
