Some positive news related to sustainability from around the world:
Scientists in Australia have developed a new type of solar panel that can produce hydrogen from the moisture in the air. This could significantly increase the use of renewable energy and decrease our reliance on fossil fuels.
A startup in the UK has created a machine that recycles plastic waste into reusable 3D printing filament. This could reduce the amount of plastic waste in the environment while also providing a sustainable source of material for 3D printing.
Costa Rica has achieved 99% renewable energy in 2021, surpassing its goal of becoming carbon-neutral by 2021. The country has achieved this by investing in wind, solar, hydroelectric, and geothermal energy sources.
