Men's high consumption of red and processed meat, linked to chronic disease and climate pollution, is tied to cultural notions of masculinity. Experts suggest a "Meat me halfway" approach, reducing meat intake to weekly treats, to benefit both personal and planetary health.
Kenyan rugby sevens star Kevin Wekesa founded Play Green, an organization linking sport with climate action, focusing on single-use plastic reduction, climate education in schools, and community tree planting to combat climate change impacts in Kenya.
Emissions understated by factor of five in Essex plans for tech giant, while Greystoke’s Lincolnshire plans show similar errorDevelopers working for Google have significantly misstated how much carbon two proposed AI datacentres will contribute to the UK’s total emissions in planning documents reviewed by the Guardian.The tech company wants to build two huge datacentres – one 52-hectare (130 acre) project in Thurrock and another at an airfield in North Weald, both in Essex. To do so, developers are required to submit planning documents calculating how much carbon these projects will emit as a proportion of the UK’s total carbon footprint. Continue reading...
Promises to cut emissions and use more fuel-efficient planes fail to stop rise, with Ryanair’s carbon footprint 50% up on 2019Emissions from flying in Europe have now passed pre-pandemic levels, with Ryanair’s carbon footprint 50% higher than in 2019, research has shown.Total aviation emissions continue to increase despite industry pledges to decarbonise and the introduction of more fuel-efficient planes, driven by the massive expansion of low-cost carriers.

A novel direct coal power technology uses electrochemical oxidation to convert pulverised coal into electricity without combustion, eliminating CO2 emissions. The process feeds purified coal powder into an anode chamber while supplying oxygen to the cathode, generating electricity directly across an oxide membrane. High-purity CO2 captured at the anode outlet can be catalytically converted into synthesis gas or mineralised into compounds like sodium bicarbonate.
