Emerging Solar Panel Recycling Technologies: Are They Truly Circular?

|

The growing problem of solar panel waste Since their commercial introduction in the 1950s, Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems have been a hallmark for clean energy innovation. They are systems that convert sunlight directly into electricity using semiconductor materials. However, their growing material footprint is now testing the limits of their thrivability. Photovoltaic (PV) cells, typically […]

Understanding CO2 Emissions: A Comparative Analysis Across Countries

|

What are CO2 emissions and why do they matter Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a trace gas present in Earth’s atmosphere and one of the main greenhouse gases (GHGs) (NASA, 2025). Through absorbing and re-emitting infrared radiation, GHGs help to maintain our planet’s temperature within habitable limits. Keeping CO2 levels within natural limits (the levels of

Why Carbon Sequestration in Forests must be Conserved

|

What Is Carbon Sequestration? Carbon sequestration refers to the decarbonisation technique that captures and stores carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) from the environment to mitigate climate change. This can occur naturally through forests, soils, and oceans or through technological solutions like carbon capture and storage (CCS) and Direct Air Capture (DAC). During photosynthesis, trees absorb COâ‚‚ from

Smart Agriculture: AI-Powered Farming

|

Emerging agriculture farming has established the use of AI technology, particularly in developed countries. However, this is not the case in all developing countries (Singh & Kaur 2022). The United Nations estimates that there will be 9.7 billion people on earth by 2050, significantly increasing the demand for food (Putterill, 2023). Hence, policymakers in both

Fishing Communities at the Crossroads: Tradition vs. Survival

|

For thousands of years, the rhythmic sound of waves has drawn millions of people to the ocean’s edge, where fishing boats return each day carrying more than just their catch. They bear the hopes, traditions, and survival of entire coastal communities (Martino et al., 2023). From the bustling harbours of West Africa to the quiet

Bees, Food, & Future: How Declining Pollinators Threaten Global Nutrition

|

Why Bees Matter: Pollinators and Global Food Security Life on Earth as we know it is dependent on pollination (USDA, 2025). Without short-range pollinators, such as bees, we would not have crops, flowers, or food. The work pollinators do is extremely underrated and underappreciated. They are keystone species, meaning that without pollinators, ecosystems would collapse,

Industrial Runoff: The Teflon Scandal

|

What Is Industrial Runoff and Why Does It Matter? Industrial runoff is the discharge of chemical effluents into water sources, causing pollution. This pollution of water sources impacts both human and environmental health (Singh et al., 2023). Runoff commonly occurs in industrial and agricultural settings such as farms, factories, or mine sites. Industrial runoff is

Ocelots: The Night-time Battle for Survival

|

Ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) are small- to medium-sized felines found from the south of North America down through South America, extending to islands off the coast (ISEC, 2025). Ocelots are listed as endangered in North America, with population sizes unknown across parts of their range. They are prized for their coats, which feature a unique spotted

Innovating Sanitation Infrastructure for Thrivable Living

|

Innovating sanitation infrastructure is essential for creating sustainable living environments (Govindaswamy & Rangappa, 2023). Modern systems go beyond mere waste disposal; they help conserve water, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and protect public health (WHO, n.d.). By integrating new technologies such as water recycling, renewable energy, and decentralised treatment, we can build resilient solutions that serve
