Climate Change affects Health: Rising Risks and Adaptation

|

Climate change is not a distant threat, it has become a health emergency affecting communities worldwide. Experts now call climate change ‘the biggest global health threat of the 21st century’ (Romanello et al., 2024), meaning that rising temperatures, shifting weather patterns, and more extreme events are already harming human health. From heatwaves that claim lives

Assessing the Contribution of Biochar as a Renewable Energy Resource in the Fight Against Climate Change

|

Biochar is a carbon-rich substance that does not degrade in the soil even when left there for millennia. It can also be used as a renewable energy resource. Biochar’s high stability and potential use in carbon sequestration inspired the combustion-based sequestration of carbon-based materials. Because of its capacity to trap carbon with little effort, it

|

In the sun-drenched expanse of Queensland, a sobering reality persists – land clearance continues to unfold at an alarming rate. Efforts from the state to reduce the impact of this devastating industry have proved lacklustre. The numbers are staggering – within the past five years, almost 2 million hectares of forest have been destroyed within

Fast Forests, The Miyawaki Way

|

Akira Miyawaki, an award-winning botanist and former professor, developed the Miyawaki Method of reforestation/afforestation after observing natural Shinto shrines. These shrines are part of the natural landscape and the vegetation that grows around them is reminiscent of ancient forest structures (Nordson Green Earth). Based on the plant interactions around these shrines, Miyawaki turned his observations

What To Do About The Issue Of Microplastics In Food

|

Introduction We often microwave our lunch boxes and boil water in a plastic kettle. These actions can lead to problems that arise from microplastics. Microplastics can negatively impact human health and the environment. The issue of microplastics is particularly concerning as plastic packaging does not biodegrade and inevitably resurfaces years later (Kumar et al., 2021).
