Always crowded Manhattan midtown, now some streets have the sidewalks widened by installing barriers into the automobile traffic lanes. This is part of Manhattan's gradual conversion to a pedestrian preferred geography.

Wonderful idea to encourage pedestrians and deter cars in the city. Bike lanes as well?

NYC already has lots of bike lanes and more are established almost every day.

The Uber of Waste goes National

Magnetic Attraction: Microplastics

A Kyushu University study (2021) estimated there were 24.4 trillion pieces of microplastics in the world's upper oceans or roughly 30 billion 500-ml plastic water bottles. Microplastics are tiny, toxic and very hard to remove from the environment. But researchers in the US have discovered that some Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) can attract and bind microplastics, making it easier to remove them from the environment. And the N in NADES is key - natural - in this instance, think extracts from plants. https://www.research.uky.edu/news/researchers-develop-eco-friendly-magnet-battle-microplastics
