Edible Water Bubbles That Might Soon Replace Plastic Bottles
Plastic water bottles might soon be a thing of the past thanks to these incredible edible water bubbles created by an innovative and sustainable packaging start-up based in London, UK.The bubbles, called the Ooho!, are created by encasing a blob of drinking water within an edible membrane made from a natural seaweed extract. Nothing goes to waste, and the edible water pods will fully biodegrade in 4-6 weeks if left unconsumed.The team behind this brilliant idea of bubble water is called Skipping Rocks Lab, who first introduced their ground-breaking concept in 2013.

Bacteria That Can Eat Plastic & Turn It Into Water
The fact that plastic takes almost forever to degrade is a huge problem, especially since there will come a point in time where we will simply run out of space to keep our plastic trash. While that might provide some relief in the future use of plastics, it doesn’t solve the problem of plastics we have at the moment, but scientists Jenny Yao and Miranda Wang might have come up with a solution.

Future E-motorcycle Races
The  concept is an electric motorcycle on steroids, offering ten times more power and five times more energy. The NAWA Racer’s design was inspired by the 1960s café racers, with a sleek design that makes it optimal for zipping around the city. NAWA is not known for making production bikes, they are however known for “ultra-fast energy storage systems.” They chose to work together on the project with the expert design team at the Envisage Group to develop the zero-emissions NAWA Racer. Envisage has a global reputation for its engineering expertise and craftsmanship, creating only the finest quality products and vehicles.

Stop sending "thank you" emails to slow down global warming
Every email you send consumes electricity and adds a tiny amount of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Since there are so many of us, and each one sends many emails a day, our combined email carbon footprint is enormous. The easiest way to trim it is to stop sending useless emails, such as 'thank' messages. Here's what a British survey found:1 email=1g of CO264 million Britons won't mind not receiving 70% unnecessary emails sent daily in the UK16,433 tonnes  emissions would be cut cut if each Briton sends 1 less email a dayThat's equivalent to cancelling 81,152 London-Madrid flights,or 88,270 Delhi-Mumbai flights
