A group of young Peruvians has launched a project called ‘Bio Plant’ in order to help the world use less plastic. They have created biodegradable dishes made of banana leaves to reduce environmental pollution caused by excessive disposal of plastic. www.intelligentliving.co/peruvian-compostable-plates-banana-leaves/
Based in Canada, Carbon Engineering’s Direct Air Capture system directly removes CO2 from the atmosphere, purifies it, and produces a pipeline-ready compressed CO2 liquid using only energy and water. This CO2 can be combined with non-fossil fuel-generated hydrogen, to produce ultra-low carbon intensity hydrocarbon fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and Jet Fuel-A.

A drug that boosts chemotherapy success could be used to treat aggressive breast cancers, according to scientists at the London-based Institute of Cancer Research. The drug forces cancer cells to divide quickly, making even chemo-resistant cancers susceptible to treatment. Multiplying faster than normal produces errors within the cancer cells and means chemotherapy is more likely to kill them.
