With more people sharing our mutual responsibility to reduce carbon footprints by shifting to plant-based meals we have reason to be hopeful for our planet's future.
and highways where there's lots of traffic and by association lots of air pollution. But what if those billboards could be transformed into giant air purifiers scrubbing the air and turning polluted areas into fresh ones?
According to the World Meteorological Association Lima has the highest air pollution levels in all of South america most of it related to transportation and factories.

#Smog Harvested from Tower Made into Jewelry A Smog Free Tower that stands 23 feet tall is being built to scrub pollution out of the air in parks and other public outdoor spaces in Rotterdam, The netherlands.
At that rate, a winery would shave about 2 pounds of CO2 per case off of its carbon footprint
which produces unhealthy indoor air pollution, and can contribute to deforestation. Solar cooking could alleviate that
such lanterns spew out black carbon that contributes to global warming and indoor air pollution. These solar lamps save customers who make about $2 per day, on average roughly $70 apiece annually.
and contribute to acid rain and smog. Processes now used to upgrade and desulfurize heavy crude oil are expensive and energy-intensive,
A recent update from the American Heart Association also suggested that fine particles in air pollution leads to elevated risk for cardiovascular diseases.
So if a fraction of the 6. 6 billion mobile phone users globally changed to solar it would reduce our carbon footprint a lot.
promising to help us reduce our deadly carbon footprints and reliance on nonrenewable fuels, the reality is that most electric cars can only drive short distancesnywhere from 25-312 milesefore they need to be recharged.
a personal air pollution monitor called the Cleanspace tag. It has been created by Drayson Technologies as part of a drive to improve air quality in cities
It does this by leveraging the same solar renewable energy certificates (SRECS) market that large corporations use to reduce their carbon footprints.
study finds Machines that are smaller than the width of a human hair could one day help clean up carbon dioxide pollution in the oceans,
#New Building material Twice as Strong as Concrete, Low Carbon footprint Watershed Materials, a California-based building materials technology startup, has developed technology to produce high-strength masonry with a low carbon footprint
Traditional concrete masonry has a high carbon footprint due to its reliance on Portland cement a material responsible for 6 percent of the world CO2 EMISSIONS.
Researchers at Switzerland Ecole Polytechnique Federal de Lausanne are also testing a low-carbon cement that could reduce the carbon footprint of construction sites by 40 percent, Forbes reported last year s
#Designer Air Purifier Converts Smog Into Jewelry As it Cleans A Dutch artist is turning smog into jewelry using the world largest portable air purifier.
Daan Roosegaarde first got the idea for the device while visiting smog-filled Beijing. Inspiration struck when he realized that air pollution is largely CO2,
which is made up of tiny little particles of carbonnd if you put a lot of carbon under enough pressure,
Turning smog into diamonds would require too much energy, but the designer, who has created also solar bike paths in The netherlands,
the Smog Free Tower was cranking out the bits of carbon that would be compressed into tiny cubes.
is the equivalent of 1, 000 cubic meters of air cleansed of smog by the white machine.
and providing an economic incentive for companies to reduce their carbon footprint. The announcement comes on the heels of last November climate accord between the U s. and China
Even the most fuel efficient car has a large carbon footprint before ever leaving the plant. Czinger and his team's approach was to take the large plant out of the equation.
reducing its carbon footprint even further. Balzer says designing an eco-friendly speed demon supercar as their first prototype was intentional."
#Google Straps Aclima Sensors To Street view Cars To Map Air pollution If a city knows what intersections are full of smog,
Also, this year China government has announced already a plan to reduce air pollution by taxing and limiting coal use.
and nitrogen dioxide is a major contributor to smog, she said. he ability to monitor such gases in production facilities
#The choking problem of Asia#s air pollution A haze periodically drifts over parts of Asia.
The record-setting air pollution, which had begun in 1997 and lasted for months, caused a 30%spike in hospital visits.
Finer-grained particles are also harder to block with the simple surgical masks that many people in Asian cities have worn traditionally as protection against air pollution.
Some scientists suggest that peat smoke long-term effects on humans may be broadly similar to those of urban air pollution,
and research groups that fight air pollution elsewhere in Asia. For the moment, Tan said, PM Haze is simply trying to learn about the problem, in all its complexity,
These can be correlated with other health or fitness data and even environmental conditions, such as smog levels, based on the phone's GPS locater.

the environmental benefits via reduced emissions and air pollution are certainly worth noting taxis are, after all, responsible for a great deal of air pollution in many large cities l
and in turn, all that agricultural activity has contributed to a region that has one of the worst air pollution records in the country.
The recent launch of the Calgren Ethanol Plant in the Tulare County town of Pixley is a step in helping California meet its clean energy goals while addressing the San joaquin valley terrible air pollution.
#Google street view Now Monitors Urban Air pollution Wee come to rely on Google street view for everything from roads to hiking paths to coral reefs,

and nitrogen dioxide is a major contributor to smog, she said. The ability to monitor such gases in production facilities and coal fired power stations gives vital early warning of explosions
However, gas produced by many oil companies release about half the CO2 EMISSIONS of coal fired plants and lower levels of air pollution.
"The U s. EPA Mercury and Air Toxics Standards and the International Minamata Convention on Mercury, have focused on limiting the emissions of toxic air pollutants,
